his week, Holden has been hanging out with daddy at work a bunch -- a trend that began with an accident in the kitchen in which a pot of hot water slipped out of my hands and landed on Bryna's leg, sending her to the Emergency Room with a 2nd degree burn (and making it a bit difficult to watch Holden at home for a couple days). Needless to say (or perhaps very needed to say), I feel terrible and extremely guilty. So Holden trekked into the Museum with me on Tuesday and Thursday of this week to let mommy rest and stay off her feet. As you can tell from the photographic evidence, Holden had a blast! And he got to play with all his friends at the Museum, and all of their trash and papers.Today, Holden was fortunate enough to go with me to visit the studio of printmaker Tom Huck, whose studio is called Evil Prints. And right away, we were making jokes about Holden, the evil print baby (I feel like the evil references are a-plenty given his namesake, Holden Caulfield). Some people might think I am crazy bringing a little one with me to Huck's studio (just check out evilprints.com to find out why), but I guess I just don't get all caught up in what he can and cannot see. He's an "art baby," and is going to see a heck of a lot worse than that at some point in his repeat visits to art museums and gallery openings. Perhaps he will get desensitized at a young age, and have a much more mature attitude towards these types of images and content while the rest of his friends just boorishly giggle (and maybe he'll even use the word "boorish" sometimes).
Anyway, Holden loved visiting Huck's studio, and perhaps he's now on the road to becoming a tattooed, underground artist/printmaker who loves Motorhead ... or not.
