The professor regularly assigned the class a quick warm-up exercise to get their creative juices flowing, and on my particular day it was copying the "Sketch The Pirate" drawing. So rather than pacing nervously in the wings waiting to go on, I grabbed some chalk and drew the pirate on the big chalkboard up front. Did a pretty fair job, I must say.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952925068925494892.post-82874862686017137762012-01-24T21:38:50.215-08:002012-01-24T21:38:50.215-08:00True that.

The Connecticut School of Art convinced me long ago that I had no future in graphic design, as I was unable to faithfully draw their example pirate. :)Jim O'Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806624628546492210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952925068925494892.post-86046343825344646332012-01-24T11:37:17.450-08:002012-01-24T11:37:17.450-08:00Yes, one of those people whose contributions are s...Yes, one of those people whose contributions are subtle but incalculably enormous.
