I was reminded of the show that made me the skilled artist i am today. this show was the very reason i was so "Advanced" in art compared to other children. I was like 10 or maybe 11 when i first saw this show. and just listening to him talk about textures and perspective; "art words" made me laugh with excitement.
Commander Mark! Where art thou!? i had hoped he would be alive to teach my own children. he still is alive, but as far as i know his show is not on television in syndication or otherwise.
but just like everything else, you can see it on youtube.
It's cool that you can actually point to something specific when you look at what inspired you over the years. When I look back I think of all the times my parents told me that I couldn't do something.
It's sad how a simple sentence can change crush a dream. To blame them completely seems a little unfair. If the dream was so great, then how did I let a "little bump" like that get in my way.
its shows like this that get to you. i mean, i remember all of the positives in my life with stronger emotion than the negatives. i think it was because i only made efforts when i was pushed by the positives.
