Randomness from my past
Now many of you happen to know I used to draw a great many wishing wells and probably wondered "Where the hell/why the hell do you draw wells?". It all dates back to when I used to watch a little program on TV called Secret City. The dude in charge is named Mark Kistler (Or Commander Mark to those who watched the show). Everyday he would draw bits and add to this giant freaking mural and I would tune in every chance I got to see what he was up to that day. I remember one episode where he showed you how to draw a wishing well (and using the basics from there you could easily move onto castles, walls etc.) I drew all sorts of wells, castles etc. but doing little wishing wells was kinda fun for a while, i'm still not quite sure why. Anyways you can watch tons of his videos on Youtube still and while cheesy it still is a decent program in my opinion. The only thing that really drove me nuts was that annoying monster Lucy.

Hmm, i have never heard of this guy, I was more into the Mr. Dressup gig myself. I will look him up to see his wishing well prowess. Funny what kinds of things impact us as kids?
ReplyDeleteI remember all the schoolhouse rock stuff. Conjunction junction..whats that function? Picking up words..phrases and clauses.
Well, welcome to the Blog challenge!
I used to watch that show when I was at my grandparent's house. The only thing I really remember is the giant mural, but I seem to recall it being some kind of futuristic city.
ReplyDeleteAll in all it was a great program that i'd probably rank up there with Mr. Dressup. I learned a huge amount about drawing/shading etc watching this show. The mural was really quite cool, if I remember correctly there were various "worlds" represented in the mural. eg. there was the futuristic city, the underground cave system, the forest etc.
