Nina Levy painted on school bread napkin:
8 years ago, at the end of a year-long trip around the world, I lived once for 6 months in New York. During this time I worked as a waiter, I moved from a WG in the next and never imagined the nights in Lower East Side bars beaten around the ears. Three times a week I've taken care of at the time to the then 3-year-old Archer, always in the afternoon for 3-4 hours. His mother Nina, who is an artist, has always worked in the time of her sculptures, her studio was on the ground floor of their house property in Williamsburg. Of all the children, which I've taken care of in these years every now and then, I was probably most impressed Archer. Even though he was so young, he had a coolness itself, which can be hard to put into words. I was sure then that the little guy definitely be playing later in rock bands and all girls' hearts would break. Archer’s artist parents (his father was also creative and built wooden furniture) were masters of DIY toys and so an arsenal of guitars, drums and all other instruments from cardboard boxes in the living room had accumulated.
Her family has always been a central theme in Nina's mother and sculptures on their website said they regularly pictures of her. When Archer was 4 he got a brother, Ansel, this and every couple of years I go to Nina's side and look at me, what happened to the guys (one day I hope Archer with his band in these photos to see). As I have long looked again recently, how is Nina and the boys, I came across a couple of items on a "project", which already started Nina, when I was a babysitter for them, painted napkins. Every night is Nina with a few water-resistant colors at the kitchen table and painted a napkin that find Archer and Ansel on the following day in their school breads. The motifs are always different and always things that just employed the brothers. Heroes of favorite movies, characters from books or even family members and friends. Each napkin signs Nina with "Love, Mom." And shows her boys so that she thinks of her and cares for them.
Eventually Nina began to post the napkin on her blog and newspapers like the NY Times and Daily Mail were pointed out. Last year, Nina started then a small , exciting side project. "Not for the lunchbox " are painted on their napkins , which are not de way into the school loaves of guys, but everyday life with them illustrate. Napkins incurred thereby, are definitely small works of art that describes a wonderfully dry and self-deprecating way a family life in Brooklyn.
