Their site is chock-full of resources for dads.

You will discover that Michael is a “fine artist” as well as Whimsmoore's illustrator. He creates what he calls “Inspired Expressionism,” painting his own ideas on canvas and inviting you to provide the narrative. Michael's art can be found in several galleries in the northwest.
