Gareth Testifies and Shemp Arrives

Gareth spoke before the Montgomery County Board of Education last night. He was broadcast live and we watched on his computer. He was lobbying with the help of Caius Kim, our new neighbor. We were very proud of him.

Uncle Shawn Kemp arrived to help with the move.

The Fairy on Vacation by Rosie

This is Rosie's fairy on vacation. You can see all the things the fairy could buy at the store though the store looks like it could be in a tent. I think that is a coconut tree in the middle.


There is a stream in the foreground with a fish. The water seems to be defying gravity as it flows effortlessly up a 45 degree angle.

The World Famous Bliss Family Dancers

(sadly these videos have been removed.)

We decided to share our dancing talents with the world. We are making arrangements to pull the kids out of school to begin their full-time dance careers. Who needs to be able to read when you can dance like this?

Gareth's webcam

Gareth has a web cam set up on his computer and is busy creating masterful movies. This is the premiere of his greatest movie yet.

The funniest thing about this is that he didn't know any audio was being recorded.

Shashikant Cthullu


Gareth's debut is a six-armed (pinchered) monster. It reminds me of an Indian H.P. Lovecraft-inspired horror.

Note the two mouths filled with pointed teeth. Gareth likes to draw monsters. I try to get him to draw them in action say destroying a city, but he's more into the simple design. Sometimes I'll draw my version of one of his ideas. The next time this happens I'll post it.

Juice Machine

Rosie is obsessed with making money and most of her schemes involve artwork in some way. She typically wants to have an art show and sell her art for large amounts of cash.

This beautiful illustration depicts another idea; this shows her plans to make a juice machine. Note that someone has a basket of fruit. These fruits or vegetables are put into the chamber on the right. See the sharp teeth over the fruit ready to chop and grind.

She can explain all the parts and what they do. If you are interested in getting in on the ground floor of her invention career this is your chance. Contact Rosie for more information.

A Nise Day


So here's the deal. We have a lot of cool artwork from the kids that should be shared. This is how it's going to happen.

This is the premiere picture. It's somewhat of a disturbing image from Rosemary. Note that the window is open and there appears to be a small rabbit on the sill. The woman in the scene looks worried or even upset. She's looking at the window but pointing to the mass on the floor.

The thing on the floor
Is this a baby? Is it a doll? Maybe the rabbit has been looking for it and has just jumped into the window. Is the thing alive? It has been colored a pink color while the rest of the page is black ink on paper.

I like the fancy sofa legs and the style of the woman's dress.
