I’ve been drawing for years, since I was 2 years old, but (unlike my dad) I’ve never, ever. . . . . . ever been good at drawing real live things . For example; we have a rooster made out of wood. I’ve tried to draw it many times but for some reason I’ve never succeeded, either the neck was too fat or it was too small or even the feet were too small! I really hate it! My dad started drawing as a kid but then he stopped (I’m not sure why but… whatever) then this guy Dan Price came along and convinced my dad to keep drawing and this wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Dan. My dad always says to me that I should keep drawing forever and I say “yeah okay”.
My dad has gotten me many things such as my email address, most of my lego, my first ever stikfas ( mostly found at a place called kidrobot, these are little models) , and my computer (my dad got my mom a laptop for Christmas and me and mom my had shared a imac originally so I got the imac! (Yeah!).

Your dad's right - you should keep drawing forever and then some. You're very good at it!
P.S. I liked your Petey drawings, too!

your drawings rawk! your dad is right. keep drawing! don't worry about the rooster. (You can just take some clay and make the neck of the rooster match your drawing... ahem... make a new rooster to match your drawing...)

Tell your dad to make you a user on Movable Type, so your name shows up properly, right now it seems like he wrote your entry... ; )

congratulations to your iMac.

Hey Jack~ You are great at drawing!

I admire you because you can draw things out of your head. (I am terrible at this)

Just like your dad, I went through a period of time when I forgot to draw and make art and all that. Life wasn't as fun!

so don't forget your pen wherever you go.

Great expression on the face! I also like the details on the muscles..you were really looking hard..it shows!
I'm also a fan of Petey! My brother and I would draw cartoons similar to that. He did the figures and I'd fill in the talk bubbles. We'd crack up reading them.
Sounds like you've got a great Dad! Cool about the imac!
Take Care,
Ames

p.s. I like your middle name..that's one of my nicknames!

This is great Jack...I think your Dad has some good advice, keep drawing! After reading his words I have gone back to sketching too!
P.S. Lego these days is so much cooler than when I first started playing with it (years and years ago)...perhaps I'll go back to mucking around with Lego as well!
