by William Goldman
{ 2001 / Del Ray / 128 pgs }

Blog Hop: Favorite Kid Photo

We = Art
I haven’t seen these in person yet, since they were just delivered today, but Jarom’s old boss made these AMAZING stylized portraits of us. How unbelievable awesome are they? You can see the ones he did of himself and his wife at their blog.
And don’t forget to come by tomorrow anytime between 3pm and 6pm [...]
