On Thursday, at 11.15am, my wife and I became parents! Baby Luke Edward was born in South Sacramento, right on his due date. To say how immensely proud I am of him, and of his mommy, is beyond words. Here is the first drawing of him, done at 6am at the hospital, Luke less than a day old, all wrapped up like a burrito. What a little superstar he is! And here are his first toys, which I drew a few days befre he was born; the spurs teddy on the left, a pressie from his cousins leo and alicia in london, the british bulldog on the right, a gift from my mate simon, also in london (who gave me the journal in which these were draw - great paper for watercolour and pencil). I didn't blog about the imminent arrival of fatherhood (mostly because it was private), but I suspect the content of these pages (whether i stay or move to wordpress) will have a distinct 'proud new father' feel to them from hereon! I've got much to learn, not only parenting skills, but a whole new vocabulary: diapers when i mean nappies, pacifiers when i mean dummies, strollers when i mean pushchairs... But my Art Goal for 2008: learn to draw baby!!
my newborn son, luke

Anita Davies / Website (28.1.08 11:50) Awwwwwwww Pete, he is adorable. Well done to you all. Lovely name choice. I love the teddy sketches, I used to live just around the corner from Spurs training ground when I was a kid, they had open days and we would go meet all the players and get signatures. It's a housing estate now....Progress eh? They did well against Arsenal didn't they!!! I'm looking forward to the 'Proud Dad' content on this blog. CONGRATULATIONS! |

M / Website (28.1.08 14:50) Congratulations! I know I don't comment here that much, but always love your art. Take good care of yourself - I'll expect the next few sketches will be "middle of the night, waiting for Luke to settle down and go back to sleep" 
. take care M |
