Designer Daddy
http://designerdaddy.com/
Brent Almond is an award-winning graphic designer and illustrator, doing business as Design Nut since 2002. Three years ago he and his husband adopted their son JJ. On JJ's 1st birthday, Brent debuted Designer Daddy, where he blogs about cool (and crappy) kid products, being a gay dad and an adoptive parent, design he's done for his kid or kid/education-related clients, superheroes and poop. And the occasional awesomely cute photo of JJ.
