Actually I have no problem with him selling scribbles with his signature
as art. The people who buy such things are the one's I feel have the problem.
I also agree he was a draftsman of great skill and an artist of great vision.
However I too can create drawings that look a bit like a Picasso meet

Bob,
Nothing astonishing about that.
What I found (in my days as an art student) curious was the number of

To be honest, I didn't even want to get into it. The main reason I'm
trying to learn to draw is that I have an idea for the logo for my own
site, which will be distinctly non-corporate, and I can't afford a
designer, so I figure I

Hi Amita,
I've studied fashion design, graphic design and web design. I do all 3 at
the same time but Graphics mostly. Photography is mostly a hobby except if
I'm taking a pack shot. But I have started to get in wedding photography as
well cause the money is there. Learning to hand draw to draw lo
My wife and I took drawing lessons years ago at the NY Art Students League (a
great place). In one class, the instructor remarked to my wife "If you could
draw, you would be dangerous," pointing out that she had a great sense of
composition but lesser technical drawing skills. So, after that,

No, I don't take drawing classes, nor I took any. Well, what I had in
my school back in Moscow does not count. I remember none of what I

I don't engage in the visual arts, but as a member of the local community
band, I guess you could say I engage in the performing arts. Since I'm not
