It led to a commission request from a kind board member and my daughter struggled and stressed about it for a while until finally declining the commission. She said she couldn't get the likenesses of the Shaun of the Dead guys. Now she kills likenesses and paints like a dream. So when I saw this thread getting some action I asked her if I could post a recent painting (she had a mixed media piece I love but it is off in a traveling exhibition for a year or so!) and she said fine but she didn't want any commissions! I let that go (she is just warming to opening an etsy although I think she'll just do her own website). This is about 20x25 or so. She is off to Pratt Institute in the fall for fine arts painting program and that all started with me bringing her to comic conventions and making her watch as artists sketched for me. (She was penciling, inking and then erasing the pencil at a very young age.) Beautiful piece. Your daughter really is very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making art is like playing sports - it's fun, but when you do it and sell it, it's like fun on crack. You make someone else happy, and you realize (ie make real) the value of doing it.

She had a class this year that challenged her to draw like Picasso or Van Gogh; she chose Picasso and did a neat self-portrait. I just challenged her to try the same thing but to draw like Moebius. I showed her the MoebiusArt twitter account and she says she will take a crack at it. TheAvenger08, nice work there. Thanks! Good luck to your kid. Cool Zappa profile pic.

kav Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Remember I'm a 'failed artist' though-drawing just to make people happy-that's a big fail in some people's book. oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's opinions matter not. Giving your art away to make people happy, is truly a gift of the soul. You are giving a part of you, and that's a true gift. kav and Hutch88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
