Awesome! Teach them while they are young!

Excellent! Reminds me of a Basil Gogos painting.
I hope Walker had fun

Does he love space helmets as well?

Yep, get them while they're young.

Kind of Leroy Neiman-esque. Nice.

 

[Larry Young]

He does love the space helmets.

Way better than what I could do at that age! Can't wait to see what he can do when you get him an airbrush

That's gold!

I'll bet in 10 years that bust will be your favorite prop!

At the end of the day all these props don't mean a thing, that little smile and hanging out with dad is what it's all about!

It already is. :lol

I unpacked it and left it on the kitchen table, and he said, "Daddy, what are you going to do with that?" And I said, I'm going to paint it. Of course he said, "Can I help?" and I'm not made of stone. :lol It wasn't exactly what I had planned for it, but I loved every minute of it and the paint wasn't even dry before I thought that was the best thing ever.

Just as an update, his (maternal) grandmother saw this and was really pissed at me that I wouldn't just give it to her. I told her if she wanted to buy another one from Eli, we could get Walker to paint it up for her but I think she thinks this level of sculpting talent grows on trees because when I told her a casting would be a few hundred bucks if he was still even producing them, she insisted even more strongly that I should give her this one.

"When you give me your 52" widescreen TV," I said.

 

[zorg]

people WOULD pay money for that.

good on him.
