I found Fall Down Tree: fine art for little ones on Etsy, the greatest place to shop on the planet, after an extensive and exhausting search. In a word, the art is AWESOME. I'm no art critic so I won't be able to spout an insightful and well-thought out critique of Mr. Record's work. What I can say is that I like it. A lot. It's whimsical but sort of gritty, too. The cars in particular have this appealing minimalism that makes me want to buy an extra set to hang by my desk. Oh, and if you check out the Fall Down Tree blog, you'll see some other great things. Like this book. And SasKwatch, which maybe if we start a letter writing campaign we can get Mr. Record to sell on Etsy because how cute is that furry man-beast?
*Many thanks to Adam Record for giving me his consent to post a few pictures of his artwork on this blog to help with the polling. It should be noted that once on istockphoto.com, I emailed an artist and requested a particular sketch. Now it is possible this gentlemen would have come up with the idea on his own eventually but... He drew the image I requested, I purchased it and used it on the blog when we did our post announcing to the world we were expecting, and he has since gone on to sell an additional 199 downloads of that image. I bring ye money, artists of the world.
Darn it, now I see that Monsier Record does custom work as well. Perhaps a new poll is in order...

I stick with the vote of animals.
Although those dinosaurs are pretty darned cute.
The kids of the house poll as such:
3.5 yo girl: Dinosaurs
6 yo boy: Robot
Mom: animals
Guess that doesn't really help, does it?
the visual totally helped.
