Festival Signs

Looks simple and painless enough, but each sign was plotted out from vectors of two colors of vinyl, weeded, taped and adhered to the signage. Old school method (that's why the corners act as guides). Quite a process.

Cutest Baby Contest

I think some of this stuff is the biggest joke... PLEASE vote for my kid's photo in the cutest kid contest!! My kid seems much smarter than other kid's his/her age. My child is an angel!

Vote for my child as the cutest kid in the world. wdsiemer ii

Parky's Farm Halloween Nights

Parky's Farm Halloween Nights

I volunteered at this event a few years ago (who could pass up the opportunity to make a fire and smores with kids). If you live in the Cincinnati area, I highly recommend taking your young child to this event. They have a lot of fun activities and performers (nothing that'd scare them).

 

Hamilton County Park District

Come join us for this non-scary, family-friendly Halloween event! See tens of thousands of animated and decorative light displays, take a hayride through the woods, make S’mores by the campfire, and experience the many activities offered for the whole family. October 6 is Sneak Preview Night with half price admission!

The Scene (Kid's Drawing)

Designs We've Seen (a lot) Series 4/29/11
The Scene (Drawing)

I've been moonlighting for the last two weeks scoring standardized science test. Some of the answers remind me of how I used to approach drawing--I knew what I was trying to represent, but I was saying/writing/creating it in an unrefined manner.

I used to draw everything as stylized lines and symbols, instead of looking at how the scenes actually appeared. The image below gives you a good idea of what I'm referring to. Trees looked like clouds, their trunks had a knot, birds always appear as squiggles, every house had a chimney, half-cut moons, mountains, rainbows, etc.

This is a homage...
