My best friend/roommate, Jon Eick, and I are kids at heart. Adventures, Super Hero movies, and Kraft Mac-N-Cheese still excite us. Legos are another thing that excite us. One of Jon's Christmas presents from me this last year was a tree house set of Legos, which we are of course planning to build together sometime soon. About a month ago, Jon and I went to Portland for a weekend and on our way home Jon stopped at this massive Lego store. We walk over to a display case filled with all different sorts of Lego people. Jon asks the store associate that he'd like to buy "The Artist." He pays for it, hands it to me, and tells me that it is a birthday gift for me from him. One of the best gifts I've ever received.
I recently bought a shadow box for the little guy and some letters to put in there with him. As Jon intended, he now hangs on the wall as an encouraging reminder of what I am: An Artist.
-Blessings,
