                        If anyone's familiar with the Space Aliens restaurant chain, you can get these little 1" tall aliens as prizes with your game tickets etc.  My son had 6 of them and asked me to paint them.  He picked all the colors and I did the work.  They were all a metallic blue/gray with green eyes when we started.  He posed them in front of my current WIP for a photo op.  LOLSmile [:)]

                        How old is he?  He has a really keen sense of color. I'm impressed.

                        He's 5 years old.  He comes by it naturally I guess (my aunt and I each have an artistic ability).  He'll sit with paper and paint/markers/colors for hours if we let him.

                        Thank you for the compliments guys.  Smile [:)]

                        Sure, just make sure you nurture that artistic bend as much as you can!

                         Hey Mike,

                         Your story reminds me of the time I had just bought a new Chevy Cavalier and my daughter who was I think 11 at the time had said the dome light looked like an alien's head. So I got the paint, the brushes and the dome light cover and guess what. Every time I opened the car door an alien was watching my every move. We both got a laugh out of it and it was fun.

                         Best Regards

                        Those are too cool, even though the little pink one is giving me Umbridge flashbacks ("hem, hem, hem").
