My grandpa was a great man. I remember once he told “You have to make the little things count.” So to honor his memory I am now teaching math to pre-schoolers.

Marriage – Clint Eastwood
They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.

The Child
For my nephew’s birthday this year I purchased some phosphorescent paints and painted him a picture of Grogou. I painted the picture in normal paint first then added the layer of phosphorescent paint because “This is the way” to get good color and also make it shine under the black light. The first photo is regular light the second is under the black light.
Artistic Dragon white on pink
This dragon was requested by the collector in Indiana. She wanted a dragon with a pink background. Each scale was painted by hand. This dragon took 3 weeks to finish the scales. It is painted on a 14 diamond saw blade.

Dreams – Herb Brooks
You know, Willie Wonka said it best: We are the makers of dreams, the dreamers of dreams. We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we’re too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams. I’m a dreamer.

My job as a teacher
I use to have a job as an art teacher. I taught origami, but I quit because there was too much paperwork.
The chicken coop
Some fowl work. The saw was done for the local Jr. Fair as a donation for their silent auction, I added a tin chicken feed sign to it. The bucket was a $1 item at Target that I painted for my niece to use as a small planter.
Star Wars
My nephew is a big Star Wars fan so for his birthday I did a saw with the the Millennium Falcon heading towards the Death Star chased by a TIE fighter. An X-wing was attacking the Death Star while an Imperial cruise is in the background. He loved it.
