All art is derivative, right?
After all, we have Picasso and Braque:
And we have Bennett and the Gum Wall.
This is Seattle’s famed Wall of Gum, located at Pike’s Place Market:
And here is Bennett’s latest masterpiece in progress, possibly the jewel of his oeuvre. He calls it a “gum mosaic,” and if M ever finds out about it, Bennett may be taking up residence in a cardboard box at Pike’s Place.

I’m a new mom of a six-month old, and I just finished reading your ENTIRE BLOG. Love you writing, love your family. I can’t wait until my girl is old enough to get into such trouble…it sounds like fun.
…or, perhaps I read your blog all wrong…=).
Thank you! It’s nice to “meet” you…
… And I’m flattered that you read the whole blog and still hope your little one gets into the same messes we do. And you read it all right — it’s more fun than anything else.
