    @David: Scott Meyer from basic-instructions is also offering a similar service. You should really check that out :)

    Oh hell. I misspelled “Where” in my comment. I shouldn’t be allowed to comment when I’m high.

    My kid is the one with the Max outfit. Most people think it’s a bunny. Nice one.

    I sent in my wife’s head. Perhaps I misunderstood something?

  • Nihaltx

    Very excellent idea. I wonder what the ultimate plan is for all these heads.. didn’t get a sense of that from the site.. anyone know?

  • Crashproof

    Is it sad that when I read “headshot” I immediately think of the Team Fortress 2 “Meet The Sniper” video?

  • JeanBugs

    WOLVERINES!!!! WOOHOO!!!! Jen, you rock!
    And so does the little guy in the Max outfit. I am so jealous! That is my most favorite book in the whole wide world! Let the Wild Rumpus start!!

    I like how she notates what she was listening to while painting.

    She’s got good taste in music.
