Profile of an artist.

Another post on one of my budding artists. Around here each child has crayons and huge amounts of blank paper at their disposal. Every now and then I'll break out the markers too but those require a bit more supervision. It seems I have a couple of taggers in my home. Yup, I used to tag my notebooks and books in school (don't laugh, my tag was "Saint") while my children prefer to be authentic and tag their walls and bedroom furniture. Because of that and because the baby finds markers absolutely delicious and chews the tips off, the markers require a pair of grownup eyes.




So it was quite eye opening to see what the last marker session produced. Voila, my six year old, deep in artistic expression.




This time I also scanned the picture to give you a better look. Now I'm not saying Tim Burton needs to be quaking in his boots (yet) but I'm just enthralled at his growing attention to detail. Upon brief questioning he told me this was an accidental match fire out of control. Thankfully (for my own peace of mind) his fire illustrations lately seem to center around a moral lesson of what not to do vs. smiles and dreamy thoughts of what would happen if his momma plugged in too many appliances.




And just so you don't think this artist takes himself too seriously, here you go.
