"I wanted to see if it made a picture."

Children's Publishing - Child's portrait of 'Our Founder'.

'Miss Cole hung it right next to Eddie Doan's sun.'

"Let me know if I'm going too fast for you."

'Do I have to be creative?'

'I'm not good at coloring inside the lines, but I can fix it in Photoshop.'

"You really should take some art classes. That doesn't look anything like me."

"Pfft. Derivative."
