You Know My Name Is Simon And I Like To Do Drawings
(you must play that audio above before reading)
when we were in austin a few weeks ago i finally remembered to ransack my mom's closet to find my dad's drawing book. In the late-90s he had an affinity for hand sketching horses and birds, and honestly, he was pretty good at it. i want to hang a few around the house in his memory. Below are a few of the photos which he did entirely by hand and learned by himself sitting in his lounge chair in the living room with a drawing pad in one hand and an image of a horse in another. the man was one of the most diligent people i knew.
however, not only did i find some amazing art by my dad, but an amazing art peice done by yours truly. i must have been around 12, so 7th grade-ish. and in case you cant read the text it says ,"Her name is Sarah. Sarah is the coolest person in her school.*" Also note, i am taller than the buildings and the tree.
* - i'd like to note that i was not in fact the coolest person in the school of any grade level, nor have i ever been taller than any buildings.
