Today I went to an elementary school in Salt Lake to give an illustration presentation to their 2nd graders like I did last year. (it's Brandon's mom's class) I think this year was more interesting than last year because we involved the kids more. After telling about becoming an illustrator and giving them drawing and painting tips, I did a painting demonstration while some of them practiced drawing and some of the other kids could look through books I've done and my massive sketchbook pile.
Since Brandon skipped work today he came along and the kids asked him lots of hilarious questions. They mostly asked me about the books I brought, but they told me many random things. I think every 2nd grader in there had a relative that is an artist and they all told me about them. One kid came up to me at the end just to tell me how excited he was to go home and play his xbox. They were an entertaining bunch.

So inspiring. I'd be afraid to go up in front of a bunch of kids. They can be brutally vocal with their opinions.
What a cute little belly you have! And I do mean little. I'm pretty sure I was about 20 million times bigger then you.
