Dad Turns His 5-Year-Old Daughter’s Sayings Into Fun Illustrations, And They Will Make Your Day
Omaha-based graphic designers Martin and Michelle Bruckner live with a constant source for creative ideas - their 5-year-old daughter, Harper Grace. She says the wackiest and hilariously funny things sometimes, and her dad had a stroke of genius when he decided to start drawing them. Visualizing the things kids say is a daunting task, but his cool drawings are somehow exactly what we would expect a "cute Batman" or a "circus goat" to look like.
The project is named Spaghetti Toes, a title which originates from a family dinner conversation when Michelle had to inform young Harper Grace that pasta certainly has no place near anyone's feet. It's innocently comical moments like these that feed the fire of Martin's colorful and unique artworks. As absurd as they may be, they remind us of a time when our imaginations were also limitless and make us wonder if it might be worthwhile to take life a little less seriously.
Enjoy some of Spaghetti Toes' greatest hits below, and be sure to vote for the cute drawings that speak to your inner child the most. You can also check out Martin's latest book, I Love You With All My Butt, here.

Yes. I do. Occasionally. Not in a suicidal manner, don't worry. ♥ Just on an innocent fantasy basis. When you've got a headache, or your head feels too heavy because you cought a cold... Don't you just want to get rid of it for a while and put it back on after taking a rest?
This was obviously after the Paris attacks. Poor little thing. It's a shame we have to tell our children about such horrors. It's a shame because they happen.
This one is perfect for one of those non romantic Valentine cards
My son knows I love Deadpool and told me I need to buy Dad a Deadpool suit
There is something in the way: " Underneath the bridge The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling But it's okay to eat fish 'Cause they don't have any feelings"
These are so beautifully drawn, i could really see a book coming together from it:)
She has tigers wants lions all she needs is a bear and we can call her Dorothy.
I was horrified at the language that he was allowing his children to use then i read the caption. Then it was funny.
My little boy used to ask if his elephant was alive and I would say, do you think he is alive, and he would say, no mummy don't be stupid, SHE isn't alive...but she isn't dead either! He's a smart kid. I had zombie elephant dreams after that ha ha
This is my son, when I mention anything good sounding or rhyming with food. I swear he was a dog in another life!!
I think some of these are cards that he has illustrated. Pretty sure five year olds don't wear bras either
I love the little girl's imagination and the dad's way of representing it in his own art work ... Way to go ! Both of them will have such good memories to cherish upon as they grow...
