Am I Just Prejudiced?

…or am I the only one who thinks my youngest is incredibly talented?  This is not a travel blog, or an outdoors blog or a weather blog.  This is an unabashed BRAGGING Blog.  But that’s okay, as we have all agreed in the past, I can write what I feel I want to write, right?!?!  And today I want to brag on my youngest son, the one who just got married on Valentine’s day.


We went to drop off a video of the wedding that I made for the newlyweds and this is what was on Joel’s worktable.  He made it for his new little step-daughters.


Mad Hatter


They wanted the Mad Hatter and this is what he came up with.  And since I’m in bragging mode here are a few more of his latest works.  This guy he calls “Political Commentary.”

At one time he made some wall plaques.  I have the Grumpy Butler hanging at my front door.  He made signs for me to hang from the Butler such as No soliciting, No smoking, etc.  He never liked his Santa plaque but I thought it was great.

Just a few more… These were designed to be garden plaques.  The one on the left represents wind and the one on the right is earth. 
Blowy guy
  The Green man










And finally, just a couple I really like, just because.
The Aviator
  Old Man










So there you have it.  No reason for this post other than I am so proud of this talented young man and wanted to share his work.  It’s too bad he does not do this for a living but you know what they say about starving artists!!  It’s true!   And so he is a computer programmer by trade and an artist when he has time.  Thank you Joel for sharing your wonderful gift.
