I have not been around lately and I have not been doing a whole lot of extracurricular art lately. I may not post for a while either. This is a design for "Griffin Day 5k" a day to support my family and my son. May 2oth 2009 he was diagnosed with Leukemia. The doctor told us we were lucky that it was Leukemia ALL because it has a 80-90% cure rate. Quote:"if your child is to get cancer, this is the one you want to get." We actually have been blessed by support from our family and community; we have been quite lucky in that regard.

If you want to learn more or support the Griffin Day 5k go here.

Design: My son with cells in an exploded out view to the left. Cancer cells (red circles) are intertwined with white blood cells (yellow circle for design sake) which then fade until there is no cancer cells. Purple is my sons favorite color, hence the purple shirt.

Bad Luck Bunny

A midnight raid, in farmer McGregor's genetically-altered carrot patch, goes horribly wrong for Stumpy the Bad Luck Bunny! Things just haven't been the same since he lost his lucky rabbit's foot.

The Monday Artday challenge word this week is "lucky".

On June 2, 1925, Yankees manager Miller Huggins replaced regular first baseman Wally Pipp in the starting lineup. Pipp was in a slump, so Huggins made the change to boost the team's overall performance. Huggins started Lou Gehrig instead. He stayed in the lineup for fourteen years. Although he played with injuries or appeared only as a pinch-hitter, Gehrig played 2130 consecutive games.'

At the midpoint of the 1938 season, Gehrig's performance began to diminish. At the end of that season, he said, "I tired mid season. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get going again." Although his final 1938 stats were respectable, it was a dramatic drop from his 1937 season.

Spring training 1939 showed Gehrig's physical strength and coordination in serious decline. He struggled through April 1939. On May 2, 1939, Gehrig informed Yankee manager Joe McCarthy that he was taking himself out of the lineup. He never played baseball again.

After extensive testing at Mayo Clinic, the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was confirmed on June 19, Gehrig's 36th birthday. The prognosis was grim. He would experience rapidly increasing paralysis, difficulty in swallowing and speaking, and a life expectancy of fewer than three years.

On July 4, 1939, the Yankees retired Gehrig's uniform number "4" (the first uniform number retired by a Major League Baseball team), and honored him between games of a double header. Gehrig gave his famous "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech before a packed and tearful Yankee Stadium crowd.

However, Gehring was wrong. He is not the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Jim Belushi is.

I count myself lucky to have wonderful people around me.
