My 5 year old son Conroy drew this one day and it blew my mind. He really captured flight and weightlessness. Also, his perspective is impressive. I would've never have come up with this at his age. Great layout boy! Although I'm not sure he meant to do it. When he was watching me color my version on the computer he asked "How's that big one going to fit in there?"(the cave). I'm also not sure if he meant for those little guys to be flying out of or into the cave.
Every child draws. Almost every adult says they can't draw. What happens in adolescence that makes us stop drawing? Is it not cool? Is it unappealing to the opposite sex? I think that people who draw well when they're adults never stopped drawing from childhood. They've just been practicing over many years. Maybe they have always gotten more out of it than adults who "can't" draw.
Off the subject completely. I saw a sweet little movie called "Once" last night. It's an untraditional musical of sorts. Good movie, GREAT music. If your ear is in a rut. download the soundtrack today.
I look forward to your Sunday post. This put a huge smile on my face! Conroy is lucky to have such an involved, creatively artistic dad. I can't wait to see more work from the both of you.
ReplyDeleteWe loved 'Once'. That guy was the guitar player in 'The Commitments'
Thanks a lot man! I look forward to posting! It gives me a reason to keep doing stuff. Glen Hansard was in The Commitments?!
