Deja Vu Vu

We just got an email with our homework.  It's another cat only very different.  Again on the grid.  Plus now I can print out bunches and give it many goes.  

I was thinking that it would be really nice to have a board to work on here in this chair.  At least I do have the dining room table but it would be nice to get a different height.

What I want is the board I had with my Jon Gnagy Learn To Draw kit that I had as a kid.  I never learned to draw but I LOVED that kit.  Jon Gnagy had a TV show, too and I loved his show.  This was in the 50's.  

On a lark I plugged John Gnagy Learn to Draw Kit into Google and GUESS WHAT???!!!!

AMAZON CARRIES IT!!!! Seriously, my 63 year old self joined my 8 year old self in a living room dance of joy!  It even has the drawing board.  

Oh yeah, Prime is bringing it to me on Wednesday.  I cannot believe it.

When I was a kid, I learned to draw from this guy on PBS: http://www.amazon.com/Mark-Kistlers-Draw-Squad-Kistler/dp/0671656945/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1359868047&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=Mark+Kistler

I totally love him even now, so I can understand your attachment. To be honest, my Amazon wishlist is starting to fill up with things I used to love as a kid and haven't seen in years.

Yea for the internet!

I love that... different generations have their own draw guys!!

and yes, for the internet! I think if I had to give up one - the internet or indoor plumbing - I'd be an outside pee-er in a hot minute.

Did someone say Jon Gnagy?!

Oh, yeah, I remember watching him! I didn't learn to draw, but I adopted his capital "G": around counterclockwise and down for the "beard", then the cross-serif.
