Lately I’ve been on a roll going through old papers and either taking pics of them or scanning them and then CHUCKING THEM!
It feels so good to be rid of the excess stuff, and since I’m preserving it digitally, I don’t feel so torn about throwing it out. Of course, there is still the arduous task of organizing all the digital files, but I think I can handle it.
I’ve found quite a few gems which I look forward to sharing and expounding upon further in this blog. I just wrote a post for my Daily Art Challenge page, sharing a nursery rhyme I illustrated in college.
Maybe it’s simply nostalgia, but I feel a strong connection to this goofy girl I once was. Check out some of my drawings from 2nd grade (age 7)

I don’t know why I was always writing “See” next to stuff. How demanding! Also, not to psychoanalyze my past self, but what’s going on with my hand in the drawing? And my teeth?

I wrote “Look!” at the top of this page and then must have decided against it. I was cracking up when I took a closer look at the audience. We have an exuberant vocalizer on the left, then a guy with T-Rex arms in the middle, and what appears to be a completely armless girl in a bikini on the end.
LOL. Fabulous. The contrast between the drawing (tracing) of the ballerina vs. the audience is hysterical. That 7 years old was pretty funny. 🙂
