Loobylu – who is one of my favorite artists and bloggers around has started the Friday Archives. I’m not sure how many of you have ever checked out my gallery, and soon it’s going to undergo some major reworking…..BUT I put it up so I could look at what I’ve done in the past and see where I’m going.
The Friday Archives is also a good spot for this! 🙂 And for a good insight into what a “heavy” child I was, you can see two of my early early drawings. In looking back, I don’t think of myself as being kind of intense, but I guess drawing pictures of cute things was not really in my repertoire even back then.
I’m assuming we were probably studying this at the time, but I’m kind of amazed at my interest in drawing a plane. Not sure you can see from this photo, but there are skulls hidden in the clouds….just what you imagine a high school kid thinking about, eh? 🙂
Then this illustration was to illustrate famine in South Africa at the time. I believe the song “We are the World” was popular at the time and the profits were going to combat famine in Ethiopia, so obviously the subject was fairly common on teenagers minds.
