Life Imitates Art
About a couple of weeks ago I took JR to Curry's at Market Village. I love Curry's. That's the only place I go for my art supplies ever since I discovered it in high school. In case you didn't know, I took five years of art and I was exposed to pretty much every kind of style and medium there is. Curry's is the only place I know where I can get all the supplies I want, whether I'm feeling like drawing a seascape using a graphite bar, or painting lillies with oil on canvas, or brushing watercolour on fine parchment to imitate the sky.
I love Curry's.
JR is getting into art seriously. I'm thinking he might even have the patience and the skill to make a great living at it. So I introduced him to Curry's. I got him a pencil set, a blending stomp, and a nice sketch book. I got a couple of drawing pens for meself 'cause I'm selfish that way. When we got home he got to sketching. He drew himself a nice 2-point perspective view of the city. Very nice and hard if you don't have patience. I've always disliked 2-point perspective but I do love the effect it creates.
I asked him to make me a logo just to see if he can. If he can make a decent logo he might make it as a great graphic design artist for a major firm. I'm thinking long-term, I know. Dude's still very young but I figure I should nourish his talent and love of art now. Maybe he can make a living out of his passion, unlike most people. Sorta like a movie with a Hollywood ending. Maybe.
Maybe he too will love Curry's.
I love Curry's.
