what Was, what Is, and what Will Be

Roughly 15 years ago, when I was a lowly high school student, I started an assignment for art class. I, mmmmm, took my time in finishing it.  It is kind of a reverse drawing, where you take a sharp object and scratch the black off of a white board, hence the name, scratch board. My teacher was not only fantastic, but also fantastically patient. This represents probably more than half of a semester of work, on and off again, and is what I turned in to the aforementioned and epic Pataconi. Don’t know what kind of grade I got.

However, I then spent most likely another semester, possibly a summer, and finished it.

The original is *hopefully* at my parents house in a closet somewhere, but these are the scans Pataconi uses as examples, to this day, in his class. This means so much to me on many many levels, so I thought I’d share my First Falcon with you all, some 15 years later. Very cool.
