6. A postmortem portrait, eh?
George looks like he's starting to go off. Either that, or he really WAS a shapeshifting alien lizard.

19. I always coloured outside the lines
I got told by my elem school art teacher that my watercolor piece was "of nothing"... it was supposed to be abstract... she reprimanded me.

Then I got to HS and everything changed. My art teacher was like "do whatever the fuck you want, but if it's photography... it better have no dust or scratches"

23. Same thing happened to me!
I was told as a kid that I was crap as an artist, because it was abstract and not "real enough". Fuck that.

Took me until I was in my thirties, and found an art mentor/teacher who appreciated ART, that I was finally affirmed as an artist.

My elementary and junior high art teachers were fuckall useless fucks, come to find out, for not appreciating actual art.

24. I guess I should have tried post elementary school art then
:shrug: my elementary school art teacher wasnt the most pleasant person, I remember one of my favorite art pieces, it wasnt any good I guess but it was funny, it was of this dude I hated, and I managed to put in Dr. Evil and stuff in to the background, ahh 5th grade, those were the days.
