In June of 2011, I did a "T-Rex Week" (which is in the archives under "art"), showcasing T-Rex drawings by all of my sons--one each for five days straight--as a sort of homage to the "Shark Week" phenomenon. I've decided that the coming week is going to be "Crazy Creatures Week" here at "String of Pearls," and I will post a drawing each day, from Monday through Friday, rendered by my #4 son when he was a good bit younger. He came up with these bizarre monster/alien creatures (which sprung to life right out of his head, via his fertile imagination), and I put a whole slew of them away for safekeeping, because I thought they showed a unique and inimitable artistic talent.
So be ready for it. It's going to be a winner, I promise you. You will be amazed, entertained...and possibly disturbed! These are creatures like none you've ever seen before! (Except perhaps in movies about alien invasions.)
As a little teaser to show you what's in store, I give you these two samples:
(Hey, this one is sort of a shark! I feel better now about missing "Shark Week.") |
(Notice the helpful "6 ft." measurement, so that you can tell how big the creatures would be next to the average man.) |
Okay, then, "Crazy Creatures Week," starting tomorrow. Don't miss it, the way I missed "Shark Week"!
I had no idea Jim was so talented!
ReplyDeleteAll of my boys can draw really well (if you check out "T-Rex Week," you'll see this); but Jim is especially talented, because he doesn't even have to use models--he just draws what's in his head!
