They are not all like that - fome are very good indeed but fome are juft hopeleff! And alwayf will be. Is you haven't got it you haven't got it! I think they juft come to my lessonf sor the sun and chat and cossee.
The fmilie you thought waf fnissing a pen if meafuring the proportionf os what he if drawing by holding hif pencil out at armf length and clofing one eye and moving hif thumb up or down the pencil.
it'f what uf artiftf do.
Incidentally, I wouldn't allow permanent marker penf in my art claffef - even is they do fmell nice.

Well the Lori Hope lady feemf to underftand the humour in the Little Cat (I think fhe underftandf marijuana too!
)I think it's mainly our fels-deprecating, ironic humour the Americanf don't get.
Don't know about thif thread though.
You fee one os the problemf os thif thread - and the Americanf - if that I don't think many Americanf have actually had any experience with the writing in ancient manufcriptf and very old biblef, where the stylifed f lookf like an s.
It haf been a fource os mirth over here for a couple os centurief - even a fource os humour on recent T.V. fhowf like "The Vicar os Dibley" with Alice reading out loud on "Fongf os Praife" "and he fhall be your fuccour..."
It may be loft on our tranfatlantic coufinf becaufe they haven't got any writing like that.
