The Gallery (Part One)

In a blatant rip-off of Hartbeat, I bring you the kindergarten attemtpts to rival Van Gogh and Renoir. This first installment focuses on a couple of the genuinely decent "colouring-in" artists, and one example of the young disturbed mind of a boy with a girl's name.

First up, we have Simon from Bobby Class with a gorgeously rendered elephant. I see that in the top right hand corner he got confused with where the jungle stopped and the sky began, which I think was his purposeful comment on the ever expanding population of his native land, which gives it a certain subversive quality. Good job Simon, truly visionary.

Next up, we have the fantastically named Grace1, and her depiction of Peter Pan's Tinkerbell. Grace1 is not simply a clone of Grace, but arose from the Korean teachers running out of female English names.

Which neatly brings us to Deby. The poor lad seems very tormented ever since the misinformed naming ritual prior to our arrival, and it is beginning to show in his artwork. When all around him draw flowers and houses, Deby consistently turns in pictures of the minions of Hell, usually with blood flowing from every orifice. Next time we have a Taekwondo rumble I will check for the mark of the Beast on his head, better safe than sorry.


More importantly, the soon to be posted next edition of The Gallery will focus on those kids that just can't stay between the lines if their Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards depended on it. Truly shocking.

Just back from "the big city", - to those of you who are not in the know, that would be T.O. of course!!! Will catch up with you in detail later but purposely caught the Korean exhibition at the ROM and it took on a whole new meaning knowing that you and Lynne are actually there - start new job tomorrow....
