One of a Kind Masterpiece

I might not make a lot of money, but that doesn't mean that teaching doesn't have its benefits.  We're shaping shaping future generations.  We have pretty good health care.  And we get really cool Christmas presents.

This year I received the token box of Russell Stover chocolates, a handful of gift cards, and of course an assortment of coffee mugs.  But this year, I also received a pair of hobby related collectibles that I'm excited to add to my classroom collection.

Now what you're about to feast your eyes on is not an eBay 1 of 1.  It's not a print either.  Nope.  It's a one of a kind sketch card from one of the premier artists in my 5th period class:

He combined the trading card I hand out to students with my Movember portrait to produce this masterpiece.  The back is designed too, but I didn't scan it because it contains several of my students names.

I also received another Funko Pop.  This time it's a Russell Wilson figure.

It's funny.  I rarely receive any Seattle Seahawks memorabilia from my students.  Oakland A's stuff?  Yes.  Green Bay Packers stuff?  Yup.  San Jose Sharks stuff?  Uh huh.  But for some reason, this is only the fourth Seahawks item I've ever received.

Hopefully it's a good luck charm, because Wilson and company are going to need it tonight against a tough Arizona defense.

Thank you Mr. L and Mr. M for these two awesome Christmas gifts.

Happy Sunday and sayonara!
