Prescription: SoCal Hot Tub

Prescription SoCal Hot Tub is rare digital art by Joe Chiappetta, available on MakersPlace.This conversation that my wife and I had some months ago continues to humor me to this day. Denise is not a comedian by trade. Yet by life, her sharp wit is highly impressive.

I drew this comic sitting in a chair next to the hot tub of our apartment complex in Pasadena while Denise enjoyed relaxing in the bubbly hot water. Later I colored and animated the scene. The side edges are intentionally left unfinish...

Preteen Action Pose

Preteen Action Pose by Joe Chiappetta is rare digital art available on MakersPlace.
More than a few times I have observed my children doing things that leave me slightly baffled. I’m often left wondering... why in the world are they doing what they are doing? There must be some hidden depth to it all. However much of the time, such wisdom escapes me; but not the humor of it. That usually remains.

Carry Me Comics

Carry Me Comics by Joe Chiappetta is rare digital art on MakersPlace.
This Silly Daddy Comic contains more than just a funny scenario brought to light by the child’s innocent query. There are a few possible answers to her question: "Who carries you when you are tired?"
No one carries me.By faith, God carries me when I am tired.By grace, God carries me when I am tired.People who care are the ones who carry me when I am tired.I choose to believe the latter three responses.

Beware the Wall of Tissue Paper Flowers

Beware the Wall of Tissue Paper Flowers by Joe Chiappetta is rare digital art on MakersPlace.
While on a date with my wife, we were walking through an outdoor art fair, having a pleasant time in Pasadena, California. There is hardly any breeze in this city, so it came as quite a surprise when a strong gust of wind knocked down a very colorful and large portable wall of tissue paper flowers. On instinct, my wife immediately helped to pick the wall back up, and was truly grateful that the wall d...

Here is a portrait I created of my imaginative and talented friend, Nanu Berks. We met through pixEOS, the art and gaming ecosystem. Both of us are Featured Artists there. We've created a few collaborative artworks that will be released later this year.

Silly Daddy Wiser

Silly Daddy Wiser by Joe Chiappetta is rare digital art available on MakersPlace.
It is a bit too common for teenagers to think they know it all and do not need help from their parents--or anyone--for that matter. When I was a teen I had the same attitude--big time. So in raising our own kids, my wife and I have made efforts to instill in them a spirit of humility as well as a hunger for wisdom. Such thinking led to the conversation of this comic, which depicts a quote of what I actually said...

Silly Daddy Site Map

Silly Daddy Site Map by Joe Chiappetta is rare digital art available on MakersPlace.Almost all of my major (and minor) works of art and writing from this century have been covered on my Silly Daddy website at one time or another. It is a little odd to think about; here I can see what my main interests have been, because we create what we care about. Topics of parenting, sci-fi, faith, crypto-art, comics, surrealism, and family are all there. Much of I have done creatively is packaged in...
