An Amazing Artist
Last night we had a get together with some of our friends. One of these friends, Lisa, is four months pregnant and was wearing a very cool, yet somewhat disturbing shirt. It had a picture of a fetus on it. Yeah, a fetus. It’s a very realistic rendition of and eight-month-old fetus that her husband, Mike, drew. I gotta say that the reason that I found it so disturbing is because it was so well done. It looked just like a fetus!
I was discussing the shirt with Mike and he mentioned that he has started taking his amazing artistic ability and using it to develop a line of clothing. His business is starting to do fairly well and seems to be keeping him busy. Personally, I never envisioned that he would become a fashion mogul but it appears that he’s heading down that road. In a few years, when people say the name “Calvin Klein”, the response will be something along the line of “Oh yeah, he was that guy that people liked before Mike Phipps came along.” Mark my words, it’ll happen.
In addition to doing shirts, he also does book covers, CD covers, and even has some of his art displayed at various LDS Visitors Centers throughout the world. He is very, very talented so you should check his stuff out. You can see his main site here, or if you prefer to read his witty musings, go check out his blog. If you just want to look at, and ultimately buy, one of his shirts then go here. (My favorite is the frog.)

Thanks for the humorous write-up, Jeremiah! It was fun to see the reactions to the maternity shirt on Saturday…
