I love Cannon’s style as much today as I did when I was a kid. And I’m going to keep using it because I stole it fair and square. LAJ,

It is my favorite Site on the entire www; it has only gotten better w/the recent changes/additions. But I've never registered to comment (on either) until now as I'm compelled to tell you how much I loved this post. I just had to tell you that. Great talent.

Ha!! Was that Art Instruction Schools, Inc? I'd actually considered that since I was a kid, but I did have a creeping notion that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be (side note: Charles "Sparky" Schultz not only participated as a child, but later became an instructor!) “And bad ideas: Becoming an art student through the mail.”
