Happy Birthday Mom

You are my hero…no matter how much you bug me.  ;)  You have taught me many things and helped to make me a good person.  Thanks for always flooding me with positive energy even though I am mostly cynical.  I love you.

Email from my Dad, Father, Parent

Happy Birthday Nick!!
I suppose everyone gets introspective during their birthday but those involved in that birth do the same thing.  I remember so many moments about the day you were born and the days since.  Your birth made me a dad, father and parent all at the same time.  It was years later before I […]

Family Portrait

Here’s a nice picture of my mother and I from a couple of years ago.  No we weren’t in a terrorist training camp…we were working on the remodel of her house.  Using a power painter is a lot of fun by the way!

Callie

Here’s a picture of my sister Callie.  She was volunteering for a movement that is important to her called the Invisible Children when a photographer from Anthropologie came up to her and asked her if they could photograph her.  Here’s what they shot.  If you’d like to read their blog entry and see the […]

Happy Birthday, Shelby!

Meet Shelby, one of my younger sisters…and arguably the most creative of all of us!  Shelby is quite the artist.  Her focus is fashion and costume design and soon (next year) will be graduating from VCU with a degree in design!  Shelby started her “career” in costume making probably around 12 years old when […]

Keb’ Mo’, The Sandler Center

For my father’s birthday, back in November, I got him tickets to see one of his favorite blues musicians (and mine too!), Keb’ Mo’.  Last night was the show and it was nothing short of impressive.  The guy’s voice is rough (in a great Bluesy way) and his guitar playing is impeccable.  I just […]

My grandfather, Ludovico

Oh how I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in this meeting.  As you can see above (click here for larger version), this is a high level meeting with some pretty important people.  Take a look and you will see President Nixon and two seats away from him you […]

Like Father Like Son

This is a picture of my father (with my younger sister Farren in the background) when he was about my age…give or take a few years.  What is up with that firefighter mustache though?
I guess I really do look like him…a lot.  Kind of trippy. 

Happy Birthday Babiest Sister!

This is Callie…my youngest sister!  Today is her 19th birthday.  It’s funny, whenever I look at these old pictures of my siblings it takes me back in time.  I can remember the things that I see in the pictures actually happening.  It always makes me a little teary.
In this fine picture from the past […]

The Father of Mail Art

I turned my baby sister, Callie, on to artist Ray Johnson last weekend by letting her borrow a movie of mine (that she still hasn’t returned).  The movie is titled “How to Draw a Bunny.”  Callie made this image for me as a tribute to Ray’s Mail Art movement.  He used to use this image […]
