May the Fourth be with You!
Today is my birthday… 44 years old. Yikes. Time does fly by. I don’t feel a day over 48.
So what am I going to do on my birthday? Why, work of course! Sadly I got behind on a MAD job that is desperately needing to be done so I will be working on it all day. However, tonight The Lovely Anna and all four of my kids will be taking me to the ballgame at the shiny new Target Field where we will (hopefully) watch our Minnesota Twins beat the snot out of the Detroit Tigers. I will also be ignoring my diet for the evening which means hot dogs, steak sandwiches, french fries and possibly a beer or three.
That’s me in the pic with my birthday present, an Apple iPad. Since I am trying to get this job done I have had very little time to play with it so far, but promise an art-centric review later this week. First impressions are that it is just as advertised… a much more capable mobile media consumption device than the itsy bitsy iPhone, but NOT a replacement for a laptop.
Back to the drawin’ board!

Happy Birthday, Tom. Awesome birthday celebration you’ve got planned & can you possibly look any more gleeful with your new iPad? I mean, really. Hahaha!
I wish many more years of life from where those fourty-four came. along those years you make many lifes more happy, you can be sure about this. Your legacy is not only in your (fabulous) caricatures, but in the fan’s drawings too.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, etc… Wishing you the bestest birthday ever.
Happy Birthday, Tom!! I turn 44 this year too, in June. Hope you and the fam have fun tonight!!
Happy birthday! Looking forward to the art-centric review. I’ll be getting mine in a few days and hope to use it as some kind of deformed digital sketchbook / digital painter.

Happy (belated) Birthday!
Also – any update on the ‘art centric review of the iPad’? Considering getting one, but looking for opinions from artists first. 🙂
