disguised

jo's into dressing up now.

abstract

wild abstract (which inspires me a lot currently ;)

mom's bragging ;)

my bureau.

my gallery.

my artist.

sorry for being so lame - i've been a miserable blogger for the last half of the year (and honestly i can't promise anything better in the nearest future neither).

there's not enough time for everything i love.
i hope to manage at least to have time for those whom i love.

one of his first days...

... 5 (!) years ago:

cousin zelda "inspecting" the strange newcomer

the animal and the red ball

jazz session

a couple of days ago jonathan put on a cd, took out all the pots and pans,  and started to practice for a career as a star percussionist. one of the most important things - as we all know - is to keep looking cool.
so joe practiced and practiced... the glassdoor of the oven served as a mirror.

then - unexpectedly - paul (joe's big brother) joined in! what a joy!

money

here jonathan MADE SOME MONEY - for papa -

- so that he can buy the beautiful red car they were admiring in a newspaper the other day. a lamborghini, that is.

..... if only "making money" was so easy... (sigh)  ;)

stilt house

or treehouse - says jonathan, but it looks more like a pile house/ lake dwelling.

jo: it's high in the sky where there are one hundred thousand billion eighty - one hundred thousand billion eighty - one hundred thousand billion eighty - one hundred thousand billion eighty (jonathan goes on like this for 5 minutes - it means a VERY big number)... clouds.

portraits of me and martin, made by jonathan in the kindergarten

don't play with your food!

when jonathan is angry with me he uses to threat:
- if you're not ... (doing what he wants) ... you're not allowed to enter my room anymore!
lately he adds:
- ... unless for photo-shootings.

guess why?
i think it's because when i'm behind the lense i'm much less "mother" but much more "photographer", and that's the difference ;)
"the mother" says: don't play with your food!
"the photographer" is exited of getting funny shots.

people living in a flower, drown man and the sun

a complex drawing made march 28, 2010

these are people living in a flower

influences from the kindergarten, i guess - the sun in the corner of the page and the blue for sky

this character was "covered" with blue strikes. jonathan explained that this was a man in the water, a drown man.

silent perfectionist

sometimes jonathan dissapears in his room, and as i look for him, i may find him sitting on his bed and "reading", or playing - alone.

yesterday i found him just having loaded his truck like this:

no, he is not autistic ;)
just a sudden need to "sort things out" perhaps...

maria?

this is a bit older already (fall 2009) but not yet posted.
for me it looks like a statue of maria in a grotto ;)

heart is for love

resurrection!

we're sending love to all the children in the world!

drawing on the box

very ephemeral though ;(

PS to the previous post

oh, i forgot the maps! jonathan drew a couple of maps so he could easily find the way to his friends':
