The Big Comfy Purple Couch
Medium: Permanent marker
Support: Leather sofa
Techniques Used: Monochrome, Scribbling, Crosshatch
(Note the scrub marks, added later by parents. You might also notice the faded marker lines where parents had managed to fade the previous sofa painting – this is easier to see on the close up below.)
The Wall of Shame

Support: Wall (under counter top)
Techniques Used: Monochrome, Scribbling
Disk From The Black Lagoon

So we are sitting there peacefully eating dinner, and Bee decides that she doesn’t want to eat her chicken. No big surprise there. The next thing I know Zee snatches the chicken off her plate, she starts screaming like a banshee and she stabs him in the face with her fork. While everyone sat with their mouths hanging open in shock I jumped up and grabbed the hand Zee was using to cover his face and pulled it away — I was really afraid that she had forked him in the eye — but no, there on his forehead was a nice neat little row of pindrops of blood. A fork mark. This is one girl you really don’t want to cross.
