Just came across this crayon artwork, created by Handsome Son, aged about eight. He used to make a lot of artwork at home, just his own ideas, nothing to do with school. And this is a form of book -- note the faux spine drawn down the back.

Better grasp of perspective than many adults I've taught, and good color balance, too. All in all, a mom gives it a thumbs up! Just thought you'd like to see it. I had never talked with him about artist books, anything like that. This is just what he fancied doing, and there's a narrative behind it which I don't know, since he also did long serial comics about various toys doing various adventures, and this is probably part of one of them.
Just a little tangent off the usual mad dash of this blog.

this is charming, Liz; and yes, the perspective is spot on--considering his age at the time, this definitely shows a natural talent and a good eye. Im also pleased to know you were the kind of mother who Saved Things.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Better than what I can accomplish myself at any age! Thanks for sharing.
