i really like the barcode one! i wonder what they’re made out of…the one with the little children are great too!

I think the artist nabbed photos of my dad as a child (in the 1930s and 40s) for his lamps! The little kid and his bike are slices of all the bedtime stories I heard about his antics.

Love the way Charlie thinks – his grasp of vernacular, and the way he can make *anything* poignant. The new lamps are even better. Luck, Charlie!
