As we were searching for things that we don't truly love, we found a noteworthy item. Just over a week before Ashley and I were married there was a big art expo near my apartment. We found a portrait artist, who we commissioned to do our caricatures.
It turns out that we don't like the result at all. We were all smiley and beaming for the sitting but apparently he didn't want to paint teeth so he sobered us up. And he got Ashley's head shape wrong too (not to mention the bust enhancement and modesty reduction he gave her). It's just more portraity and less caricaturish than we were hoping for.
However it's an important artifact from our courtship. An important artifact that is too ugly to be displayed in our home. Thanks to modern technology, however, it can be scanned and then thrown away. A side benefit of the archiving effort: we can share it with our blog readers.
Enjoy.

Funny, there are plenty of things I ask you to do that I ask because I'm not willing to. Like the garbage. And the heavy lifting.
Yes, I was not actually being literal. After all, the whole making of actual meals and driving through downtown Chicago top the list of things I'd do a lot to get out of. And I mean a LOT. Division of labor is great.
But we both must dejunk!
Hey, I have been dejunking too. It feels wonderful, like taking a load off of you.
Ya Ashley's head is way bigger than yours in the picture, and I'm sure that as a Farnsworth, it is impossible for her head to be bigger than yours :P
Well, this guy got Grant pretty close, but that doesn't really look much like Ashley at all :) It's cute though.
I just wonder why he gave Grant darker lips/lipstick than Ashley. Whats up with that?
