I took this without her noticing, she gets bashful if she sees me watching when she draws. Kairee Flores 8yrs of age. 2018 btw, when your child tells you "I want to be like you daddy, I want to be an artist and draw like you"; your heart can never be prepared for those moments. Those words have such a major impact that it truly melts your heart. So to all dads out there, no matter what it is you do, be a part of your kid's life. Put away work, pleasures, cut the cord to your clock because THEIR TIME is needed and is more important than we think! #MyWorld #MyHeart #Blessed #MyDaughter #ArtistInTheMaking #FanArt #Disney #KingdomHearts #Kairi #Art #DrawingIsMyPassion https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHYuHCHTKl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=czkdpz7ro0ns

Proud of my little baby. Kairee always tells me she wants to be like me and I think she's on her way to surpass me. I hope she does! Not bad for an 8yr old.

So, my daughter KAIREE has a project in 2nd grade asking all kids about their names and if there's any special meaning behind it. Well excited as Kai is about this, she already knows the answer but loves to hear me tell her. So I will share it with y'all. Kairee's name comes from a #Disney & #SquareEnix game called #KingdomHearts. The original spelling is K-A-I-R-I but my wife wanted it to end in REE which I had no complaints. The character in the game is very caring and Kind hearted much like Kai's personality. It is a perfect fit for her as so many who know her will tell you how sweet she is. Now the actual meaning of Kairi is #OceanSky in Japanese. Our daughter has no japanese blood but I'm a big fan of their culture and felt it would suit her. for which it has. Now, with Kai being 8, she has taken an even bigger appreciation for her name and asked me if I could draw one of her favorite pictures of Kairi for her. So, here it is, ready for her when she wakes up for school. I wish I new the exact artist's name behind the origianl piece (if anyone knows, please tell me) so I can give the proper respect where it is due. Well that is it for now, btw the artwork for the game is phenomenal. Some artists have such a beautiful approach towards character designs, it's fascinating! Good night everyone.

There's a certain joy that comes over a person when they draw their child(ren), that only you as that person can feel. For me it can't be explained but believe me, it's a great feeling. Here's my wittlest one, Aubree. This girl is one of the funniest kids I know, can be such a goofball, but packs a mean punch. My wittle baby. Love you kid! #DaddysGirl #MyWorld #Silly #Toughgirl #Smile #DrawingIsMyPassion #Art #Drawing #Touch #ShinHanArt #Sakura #Pentel #Inks #Markers

So, there are a lot of artists whose work I admire. Some with styles that are unique and very awe inspiring. So I'm going to try and do some rough sketches of artists I like and share them through IG. I've done some in the past but I'm going to keep at it and try to share once a week with #ArtistAppreciation. So before you is a fun sketch I did of @urbanbarbarian aka Dan Panosian. I could go on and on about this dude, but bottom line, this big muscular dude is a perfect mix of the Ultimate Warrior and the Fonz!...... Ayyyyyy👍🏼 Dan's artwork is extraordinary and I was fortunate to have him draw My Charles Bronson piece back in March. Thanks Dan. Be well and keep inspiring. Your art is phenomenal! #DrawingIsMyPassion #FanArt #Comic #Artist #Pencil #Sketch #Inspired #DanPanosian
