Dear Insane Children,  In this Halloween month of tricking and treating we have a special treat just for you…  Pumpkin Carving Templates! These were inspired by the Cheshire Cat pumpkin in Omri’s “Hallowed Alice” illustration.  And our Insane Children INSISTED INSANELY during a recent live stream that this Become. A. Thing. So – Insist and…

Dear Insane Children,  Do you know what fills me with RAGE? The YouTube creator interface – specifically the part dedicated to setting up live stream events. ARG! Frustration!  Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now.   I’ve worked through the kinks and set up a Live Stream event for tomorrow at 9AM Hong Kong Time –…

Dear Insane Children,  Our favorite month is here! It’s Halloween! Woowooowowowoooo!

Dear Insane Children,  Golden Week 2019 is coming to an end here in Shanghai. While China celebrated “70 Years of Communism in the PRC” we hid out at home and played with the baby. Lucky did give us an excuse to venture outside during the holiday – he had a one-month checkup with the doctor.…

Dear Insane Children,  Continued evolution on the Bumby as Shopkeeper concept images.  Above you’ll see Omri’s reworking based on our comments. This is “spider hole” Bumby + Mechanical Hands.

Dear Insane Children,  We’re BACK after a week of R&R. Seems my throat really needed that. All better now! Pain is gone! And I guess we now know that I shouldn’t eat tons of spicy food during the day and citrus fruit right before I go to bed. Hur dur. Lesson learned! And while it’s…

And when he’s awake his main focus is drinking milk… followed by explosive bowel movements and a bit of hiccupping. Here he is in the preferable mode of…
