1984, bitches!

My mother has finally decided it's time I get the rest of my crap from her basement, much to my husband's horror. On the plus side, I discovered my school treasures dating all the way back to kindergarten. My mom likes to blame all the hoarding on me, but there's no way I started keeping those things from way back then on my own - all neatly categorized in order by year. Ahem!

Anyway, I have been laughing my arse off at my seven year old self for the past two days, so I thought you might as well join in on the ridiculousness that is mini me.
Loving the fake tan and leg warmers, Cyndi!


I don't know about this one, but the accuracy is amazing.


This actually explains a lot . . .


I was scrap booking before scrap booking was cool!


Holy fuck, I really do love winning!


And it appears my artistic abilities peaked in 1984
because I'm pretty sure I still draw sunsets like this:


Magritte can stick this in his pipe and smoke it.

    Lmbo I think all of us drew sunsets that way, and like you that is probably how I would draw it now, despite knowing that is not a typical sunset lol.

    I especially love your shamrock medal - were you an irish dancer too?

    There is a haunting melody that run’s through all of your work, that marks it as distinctive.

    Your technique reveals a competence that can only come from talent that has been put through its paces- this work exudes the quality that comes only from the hard work of application and quest.

    Boy George's hat hits us with a shock to the senses and draws us in for a closer look, to be rewarded by the more quiet changes in mood effected by masterly use of soft mark making that lulls us back to a sense of security.

    LOL.

    Thanks for that in-depth critique of my work, and despite your smartassery, you are right about one thing -- I haven't changed much in 27 yrs. Ahem.

    I have stacks and stacks of my daughter's first grade masterpieces, I am debating on which ones to tuck back in the archives to embarrass her with later in life. This helps give me a few ideas!

    YES!! The boys come home with loads of crap but I'm very particular about what I think will be "keepers".
    So far, not much yet. LOL

    Being the smart ass kind of Dad I had, he'd always ask me, "Why are there flying M's in the sky?" - I see you have them also. :)

    Boy George and Cyndi Lauper are eerily similar in looks...

    At the wee age of seven you were turning in drawings of Cyndi Lauper and the Boy that was George. I have to say I'm impressed. Ellen

    Man, if I could go back to 1984. I wonder what my mother has outside of the random photo she mails to me.
