Art School

I was watching t.v. the other night and just happen to see a commercial for an at home art school. It offered this test to rate your skills. I remember seeing this exact same test when I was a kid. It was in a 'Cartoons' magazine. I took the test then and mailed it in. I received a call about a month and half late and the person on the other end of the line said that I had potential. All I had to do was send him $300.00 for art supplies and the study guides. Being only 11 years old at the time, there was no way for me to do that. My parents would have gladly found a way to get the money for me, but they had to work too hard for the money they earned and I never felt comfortable asking them for it.

I'll send this off and see what they have to say. They say that there is a chance that I could receive a scholarship if it's good enough. I haven't done any research in this company so I have no clue if it's real or not but I have nothing else to do so I'll get it a try. I'm going to mail it off today and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Now I have to get back to the portrait of my youngest child. I'm sure that if I don't get it finished shortly she will give me a sound fist shaking followed by a good finger snapping.

Guest Artist: "Destructo"

Gary's oldest son is appearing here again as a guest artist, this time with his drawing of a superhero he created named Destructo. He drew Destructo with colored pencils on lined paper. Gary was impressed with the way his son drew the fists (with each knuckle individually) and the heels added to Destructo's shoes.
