Jackism

Straight from the mouths of babes!

Our little mister says the funniest (often insightful) things. I try to keep a list going on my mobile of all his silly statements, but I'd have to be a stenographer to keep up with every single one of Jack's wacky sayings... We affectionately refer to them as Jackisms. 

Here's a Jackism I just had to turn into a doodle.

"Eating cake is a piece of cake!" ~ Jack

Jack was absolutely beside himself when he saw that his own words were going to be printed on  t-shirts, mugs, throw-pillows etc... "I'm gonna be famous!" he said.

Dueling Doodlers

I've told you before that my husband, Mr. Galore (a.k.a. Robert Wohl) is an extraordinarily talented illustrator. He also works a 9 to 5 that doesn't leave much room for him to flex his creative muscles.

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the whirl of day to day activities & lose sight of ones passions... But I tell you it would be an outright crime to waist such a gift as his. Lately things have become a little too lackadaisical round these parts for my liking. So that's why I recently challenged Mr. Galore to a duel... A doodling duel!

I call it "The Doodle A Day Challenge" & it goes like this: He has to draw one doodle everyday. It doesn't have to be fancy or even finished. Just some markings made on paper each day, to keep those creative juices from coagulating & becoming stagnant.

In order to make it a fair duel, I agreed to do the same.

Now, I told Mr. Galore that it didn't have to be much, but in reality I was anticipating some amazing things from Robbie's daily doodles.

What I wasn't expecting was to rediscover my own long lost love of doodling. You see...

Once upon a time I used to doodle all the time. Growing up as an only child in the country, my sketchpad was my primary form of entertainment. In recent years my art has moved in a different direction. I've been working mainly in three dimensions. Somewhere down the line I had lost all patience with drawing. Practically the only time I would put pencil to paper was to just scribble out an idea. In fact it had been such a long time since I'd really tried, that I had completely forgotten that I know how to draw & that I actually enjoy it.

Suddenly there's doodles all over the place! On the table & the floor & the couch & the counter etc..

Even the littlest Galore has joined in & he has been yielding some pretty decent little doodles of his own.

So there you have it. The doodling duel was a success. I presented my husband with a challenge designed to whip him into shape & get him creatively motivated again & something profound has happened... It did... For all of us!


Now that there's all these doodles floating about I decided it's high-time that we did something with them!

Today I’m proud to announce Dueling Doodlers Society6 Shop! Robert Wohl & I will be now be offering our doodles up as iPhone cases, art prints, t-shirts & more here!

Stay tuned...

The Werehouse 2.0 Reboot

The Werehouse first opened in 2008 as a husband & wife mad scientist team. We tinkered with several experiments, the most important of which was The Roogie Cloning Project. This was deemed a fruitful operation. As time went on the clones grew quickly in numbers (as bunnies often do) to proportions beyond our control. We were forced to close the doors of The Werehouse & go into hiding.

In the past five years Robert Wohl (the husband) had to all but disappear. Hiding in the deepest darkest of places. conjuring up new devises & re-imagining a new future for our work. His wife, lab partner & muse took on the alias, Kitschy Galore (that's me), where she has met with international fame.

Together we've had many adventures & enjoyed several successes.

After recent discoveries we've determined The Werehouse is finally safe for operation. The new & improved & completely secure Werehouse will be specializing in Robert Wohl's custom cartoon commodities utilizing his latest & greatest invention yet, The Cartoon-O-Tron!
