I've been into
painting on shoes lately. Especially cheap $6 pairs from
you-know-where. As canvases, they are probably not archival (especially when worn circling the bases on a muddy ballfield or circle-pitting in a beer-soaked
basement) so I told my Mom to wear her old sneakers when doing those things.
The Fleur-de-lis is common symbol of Louisville (my hometown) and St. Louis (my adopted hometown), both named after French kings.

Happy Birthday and Mother's Day, Mom! Love ya!

On the other foot, I've been obsessed with
Madballs lately. They combine two of my favorite things:
goofy, gross-out monster art and
sports. Remember how much that stupid Madball
football hurt if you caught that plastic nose-cone right in the chest?
