Boxing Buzzy Boys 2010








You might have seen the original "Boxing Buzzy Boys" photo hanging in my studio (photo below). So many people comment on it. They say, "Who are those handsome boys? Are they really boxers?" I have to tell them the story...
I was visiting my nephews (The Buzzy Boys) in Florida in 2002 and my brother (their dad) had a black eye from getting hit by a baseball. He suggested doing some family photos, and I said, "You look like you were in a boxing match!" He said, "Why don't we all just blacken our eyes, put on some boxing gloves, and do a picture that will make our dad laugh?" (My dad was a boxer in the Marines and had quite a few black eyes.)
Last week my nephews were visiting here in Pittsburgh, and the oldest brother, John Harrison, had a black eye from wrestling with his brother. I said, "I think it's time for a new Boxing Buzzy Boys photo!" Here is the updated version. I think every 8 years, we'll have to do a new one!
