[COLOR=800080]I ADORE the new drawings! You guys are so creative and do fantastic work! The horse thing is wicked & very well done! The eye is beautiful. I sure hope art teachers have improved and appreciate fantasy work these days.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=800080]Let me tell you girls a little secret about high school...Sally will chime in with me on this one...mean girls stay mean and miserable. Years from now, boys will run into you or contact you on some social network, telling you how much they secretly dug the art chick back then and lamenting the fact that you are now happily married to a dude much hotter and cooler than them. Cheerleaders will commission you to draw their kids for fat wads of cash, and you will run into your psycho gym teacher at Walmart, where she will ring up your groceries politely, bowing her head, telling you what a good job you're doing with your kids and flabbergasted to see that you, the poor, goth art chick, made it, and is living happily ever after. (yours may not be at Wally World, per se, but it's rather likely that the time will come that they will say, "would you like fries with that?" Or "How may I help you, ma'am?") There will be bumps in the road, and you will overcome them. This will p*ss people off immensely, which is just a bonus. Your unsupportive art teachers will brag about you being their prodigy, and attribute your success to their teaching. You'll politely smile & give them the finger. Try your best, for now, to suck it up and participate. Have more confidence, because one day you will & will regret not having it then. You're beautiful, made of awesome, and can rule the roost.
