By all accounts, the Mycoskie family redefines the notion of success: Before embarking on a painting career, patriarch Mike was the longtime orthopedic surgeon for the Texas Rangers; his wife, Pam, authored Butter Busters, a 1990s hit cookbook; their eldest son, Blake, founded the shoe company TOMS; their daughter, Paige, founded the retro lifestyle clothing line Aviator Nation; and Tyler, their youngest son, founded Dollar Driver Club, a members-only golf retailer.
