"I'd love to see you post the drawing of R2D2 you did as a child and once showed me and Jen."
...so here it is!
I did this drawing in my kindergarten class after having seen (and completely freaked out for) STAR WARS the night before.
R2D2 was, instantly, my favorite character of the movies and still is to this day.
Unfortunately this scan isn't from the original (I'm not positive if the original exists any more) but this is a (get this) DITTO my teacher did of the drawing. I'm told that after I drew the original, a bunch of kids in class were asking me to make one for them - so out of pity for my little fingers, my kindergarten teacher mercifully ran off a bunch of dittos so that everyone in class could have one.
This same teacher got me a scholarship at the Kalamazoo Art Center that year... ironically, her husband taught one of my art classes when I went to college. Weird.
Anyway, this one's for you, Vince... enjoy!

KINDERGARTEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I couldn't do that drawing NOW and no, I'm not kidding. I do, however, do great doodle flowers. What a great teacher you had to take you under her wing like that.
