Thomas the ArtLad

August 4th, 2005

Children’s art is great. While they have trouble coloring in the lines, their work is often unrestrained, innocent, and engaging. They can reveal and inspire. I posted about the Monster Engine, Dave DeVries’ interesting project of “completing” drawings done by kids.

Thomas the ArtLad is six years old and has no need of anyone completing his work. He is chock full of talent and smart as a whip (assuming as I do that the words are his).

Check out his art blog and drop him a line. Thomas is the son of Magazine Man at Somewhere on the Masthead, who posts about his son’s blog here.

I Like Drawing

Do you draw on your trash? Too easy. How about others’ trash? Ian Stevenson has been enhancing the the rubbish on trash pickup days and has an exhibition at his website I Like Drawing. Fun stuff. Take a look around at his simple but amusing drawings too.
