Van the Man

This is Van

He is The Man

He Draws Frogmobiles like no one can

You may or may not remember Vincent from the I didn’t teach him that post some months back. Vincent (as usual) has been drawing all kinds of stuff. I liked the frogmobiles and thought they should be shared.
For some reason I’ve given all the boys in my class nicknames. It all happened one day when I called Eric “Rico Suave”, then they’re all going “Me too! Me too!”. Vincent got Van the Man as in Vincent Van “The Man” Gogh.
I was reminded of these frogmobiles because another artistically inclined student in one of the classes I’m subbing for drew this (the Chinese there says I’m bald, of the shaved head variety):

Anyone who’s seen me would know that’s a pretty good representation. Those afternoon classes are going good. I like all the kids, it’s just been draining since I still want to do all the computing I normally do when I’m only working 3 hours a day (now it’s up to 9+ around 2 hours travel time
).
While looking for the Daoist (Taoist) section of PageOne (a bookstore like Barnes and Nobles) I saw this little beauty:

I’ve thought of a lot of comments I could make about it, but I’ll just leave that up to the reader. I will say that throwing Jesus’ name on that series of book seemed kind of strange (but maybe it’s just me).
I’ve been doing the Jujitsu with Andy for about two weeks now and really like it. I can feel my flexibility coming back.
One more week to go and I’m back to my usual schedule (so my posts will be more regular).

Lao Tou means old man not bald man.
Oh shit, I thought it said Guang Tou. I’m an old man
Liked the pics. Especially the frog mobiles. Make sure you don’t crush his creative spirit.
