cut watercolor paper...

Just in case you were thinking of trying it, photography is not an easy sport with a 35 pound Hulk Baby on your back.

Made with paper by My Mind's Eye and Martha Stewart...

"Do Not Use Hooks" as seen through my windshield. If only I could interpret its meaning...

It was sunny this morning and Superbaby wanted to play outside...so I set up the roller coaster from Zia Ria on the grass and dragged the old art desk out of the garage to paint at while he played. By the time I put Superbaby's shoes on, cleaned the desk, put Superbaby's shoes back on, let the dog out, put the shoes on again and finally touched brush to paper, a big, fat cloud got comfortable right over my yard and relieved itself. We had to drag everything under the patio and make a fort under the kitchen table instead.


Things you think about when you're a parent and a fantasy writer:

If your son grows up to be a time traveler and makes the journey to visit you now, what will you ask him to convince yourself that it's really him?

Will future Superbaby know what color you eventually paint the house and save you time and money on test shades? And will he be so appreciative of what an excellent, fort building mother you are that he'll offer to do all the painting?

Can he babysit his present toddler self so that his parents can go see a flip'n movie, PLEASE?

 

Superbaby, creator of parent acclaimed works such as "Insatiable 2" and the enigmatic "Boy in a Box," is single-handedly establishing conceptualism as the dominant movement of the post-infant era. His idea-based art defies traditional esthetics and reveals the inner workings of a mind in search of a stable emotional and philosophical platform.

 

His recent installation piece "The Dining Series" was comprised of splashes of spaghetti sauce reminiscent of Rorschach patterns. It boldly tested the psychological, visual and literal flexibility of its viewers, as it began on a hard-to-wash white shirt and continued across the surface and underside of the dinner table.

 

The real genius of Superbaby's works is that they keep art fans guessing at their deeper meanings. Does "Corn in a Boot" mean that corn is the foundation of American society? Or does it mean that lunch had all the flavor of old footwear?

 

When asked the artist says simply, "Milk. Okay?"

 

Indeed.
