x, wedding gourds and portraits

This has been my week so far... My friend drops me off at my house on Monday(after a long road trip from CoMo) at 2 am. I collapse in bed and wake up to X (my nephew... video at the end). Every day so far I wake up to X (let him tug on my hair) and work on a project. My brother's wedding is coming up which means that I have to paint wedding gourds for him and finish a portrait of my uncle.

I finished the portrait of my uncle earlier this week. He's getting here this Friday and he asked for it about a year ago. It's on chalk pastel on canvas.

There are still 2.5 wedding gourds left to paint. I've painted ~17 in the last 24 hours. Here's a peek at what they look like.



Now the video I promised:

album cover

I found this while going through a series of photos I took for an art project. I feel like this should be an album cover. Any ideas for what it would say?
