The Little Street Painters

Last time I visited home, one of my neighbors told me that he used to walk past my house and marvel at the elaborate and colorful chalk designs I drew on the sidewalk.

This photo is me at a street art festival somewhere. My Mom purchased this small square of asphalt for me to show off my talents. I drew a lotus flower - I had heard about lotus flowers on Reading Rainbow. Or was it Mr. Roger's Neighborhood?...no, I'm pretty sure it was Reading Rainbow.

This photo is funny because all the kids around me are so much younger, and they're just scribbling away, having fun. Meanwhile I'm like, "this is art."
