    Default My Dad Is The Bees Knees

    My dad can be THE coolest guy.
    He's an artist who does everything from painting to sculpture to jewelry making.

    Anyhow when I went to see him for Father's Day he gave me a necklace he made. It's carved (by him) from antique ivory.

    First here's him (excuse my giant honker of a nose, I was stung by a swarm of pissed off wasps in the face during a photoshoot a couple days before and my face was still all sorts of fucked up lol)


    And here's the necklace!






    Ialmost forgot, the eyes are diamonds. He colored the eye sockets before setting them so there would be some color to them.

    He slightly resembles one of my favorite strip club owners, Johnny at Stagedoor Johnny's in New Haven, CT.

    We now know where you get your cool-ness!

    Whoa that necklace is really cool! I bet that took a while to make. He looks like a badass too!

    I have an awesome dad too, but he's only as talented as it takes to draw dresses and hair on stick figures lol

    He looks like a cuban drug lord when he wears a suit hehe.

    His art is just amazing. I'll have to dig around and see if I have any pictures of some of his work around.

    Sirona, you post was touching. I am very close to my daughter too. But I suck at ivory carving. I should call him for lessons.

    I can't believe your dad carved that, its so delicate, he's very talented.

    LOL I find it endlessly weird/funny that he looks like my dad and his best friend's name is Selina (my real name is Silena). hehe I love weird coincidences!
