Brad showed up somewhere with a t-shirt on, which he claims littleVivi made. Please. I looked up Viv's age and she was born in 2008, which makes her 6.
I love children's art and save all the good stuff. I even have books and books filled with the art of all the children I've known, even briefly, in my life. I'm a huge proponent of letting them make art like real children. Not what adults think is art and not that color in the lines bullshit. Real kid's art is awesome. So, of course I blew up that photo. I wanted to see what Brad and Angie's kid can do, because I like them and their kids seem awesome.
Fucker, please. Kids that age are just figuring out the relationship between body parts and heads and shit. It's hilarious yet beautiful, what they come up with. But, that? All I have to say is, dear Brad and Angie, your nanny sucks at art.
They might collect Banksy while I collect prints in yard sale frames..but, at least I didn't fall for that and wear it. I DO love that little Vivi pulled a fast one on her dad. They won't be so cool when that one get to be a teen.

I know you taught art to children but I think their school art and home art can be very different.
We kept a low table full of drawing supplies in the family room so the kids could draw whenever they wanted to. My daughter was drawing things like this in kindergarten and I think it had a lot to do with loving clothes. She would draw whole girls wearing nice dresses and was into that for a few years, paying attention to their jewelry and shoes, etc.
When she started earning her own money, she bought the fashions and stopped drawing them.

I've known talented kids. I also know an untalented adults drawing when I see it. There is something honest in a child's art, that adults can't imitate no matter how hard they try.
That would have had to be stretched tightly too, in order to do anything on it. She might have had help, but it don't think a kid could do all of that. Parts, yes. But not even figure out how to do it in the 1st place. I think Brad is wearing one of his flat driving hats in the drawing. It's cute. And probably her idea at least. And who knows? Maybe she really did it? She looks just like Naomi Campbell. I hope she's nicer than her.
Naa, you're thinking of that older girl of theirs. Ehh, what's her name? Zahara or something, they call her Z. She's IS beautiful. Anyone is nicer than Naomi Campbell. Hell, Freddy Kruger is nicer than Naomi. Anyhow, Vivi is one of the twins. I feel sorry that I know all this shit.
I still have most of my sons art, he started showing his ability around age 3 when he found a can of white paint and painted his hobby horse.. at age 6 he won awards for drawing godzilla destroying Tokyo. He won basically on the details, he had people falling out of windows.. It was great! He had paper and colored pencils all the time.. As an adult he did go to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh but found out he did need to get a real job.. Now at 43 he just draws as a hobby.. But I guess as time goes by I will give him back all the stuff I saved for years.. But he was born with that talent cause no one in both sides of the family can draw a straight line. I did run into Tom Savini at a halloween event in Pittsburgh and stopped him and was pitching my son , he was polite and told me to make him keep up the schooling..hahaha!
Deborah, that is a pretty awesome story. I've known a few kids with real talent. My daughter comes to mind. My son had it too, I still have his whole 'Sport the dog' series. It was so funny. It was a cartoon strip. He was like 8. But, he went on to music. Casey still draws a lot. She's good too. I know some kid are really talented, but, when adults get mixed up in their art, then it's not art anymore. It's some preconcieved notion adults have. And it's easy to spot. Kudos to you for letting your son go to it on his own.
