Some of my drawings : I remember when we lived in Belgium I would bring home a book that kids had at that time so that someone could write a comment. I brought mine home so my dad would draw a picture. My last memory of my dads drawing was one of the big giant who was sleeping and someone would take off the giants shoe and how alive his drawing was. 
This is a start for me
