Lately I have been speaking on wild things and stories, with a hints of spirituality and sacristy and somber overtones of sadness. I think what I need is some fruity nuance... yes, some silliness.
I really don't know what the boys call them, I say "battle cards" and they seem to know what I'm talking about. There are/have been hundreds over the past few years. I like them,
the first several are Nick's, I am still looking for Zack's actually I don't know whose are whose here, I believe there has been some unauthorized backroom trading.
In absolutely no discernible order:
 |
| Vapor - attacks with "Dark Slash" |
|
 |
| Silgard - seems to be cursing |
 |
| Sunflower - dances happily |
 |
| hip luck - has an electric tail |
 |
| VENIS - not what it looks like |
 |
| Crock - dude's got a 90-point "skrach" |
 |
| Slash - "evolves from slish" |
 |
| creeper - creepy |
 |
| Ripper - sings Sinatra on the side |
 |
| Pip - sings opera, mostly Wagner |
 |
| Crind - a Dead-head I once knew |
These are from a new, larger format, a full sheet of paper:
 |
| Jack Hogwarts Widdow - "buckaner" |
 |
| The requisite math - always show your work |
 |
| Silver ian Dragoon - a Samari Musketeer |
 |
| Z's requisite math. |
 |
| Blue Ninja - just because he's cute. |

I would guess there was some sort of meaningful connection I could make between these images and story-telling or wildness, even sadness if you'd give me a minute or two. I could go on about respecting creativity and fostering it and nurturing it like the tender shoots that ...
Nope, I just want you to see how silly it all can be, or, perhaps, how simple it all once was.
Oh, I almost forgot...
... and a lunch survey:
Enough meat, good. Brown apples, not so good.
Something I heard a child say and it made me laugh:
"Did you know that Goldilocks lives in Iceland?"
No, I did not, but, that actually explains a lot...
Hey, thanks for stopping by, I mean that. I have some more stories to tell, but, I guess I didn't know how to tell them today. You know, a couple of weeks ago I would never have dreamed of adding as many images as I have today, but, right now... I don't seem to care. I guess this is where the wildness led me.
YES! To the battle cards. I thought these were awesome as a kid, and I think that your kids' are awesome too. And now I want to make some for myself. Maybe I'll wait 'till tomorrow to make some with Addison. But maybe I'll do a few tonight, first. Ah, memories.
ReplyDeleteGreat curation, as usual! I take snaps of my children's art and creations, but I never seem to get around to immortalizing them like this.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome set of cards there. Thanks for sharing them.
