"Bogey" (1980) Drawing by Andre Mckee

As a child, I use to watch my mother draw comic book figures from the Sunday paper. I was amazed how her number 2 pencil made magic figures appear on paper. I then took a pencil myself, and copied what she was doing. From that day on I've been hooked. My love affair with creating, and doing art was at full bloom. As I got older, I started taking any, and all classes to sharpen my new skills. I even started get first place in shows here, and abroad. I've currently have place in the top ten in a international show, and waiting for the result in three national shows. I owe all this to a loving mother, and family who have supported me from day one. So if you notice your child watching you do something amazing, remember my mom's magic pencil, and send them on there journey of a lifetime.
