Childhood Art 2

Sometime around 7th grade, I embossed a tuba onto a small sheet of brass. We then rubbed some sort of acid on it to make it look older, but it didn't come out very well.



Fast forward to 2005, when my friend Jorge and I were driving back from Salt Lake City to New Mexico, via the Grand Canyon. We passed signs for Tuba City, Arizona, but we were in a rush to see Meteor Crater before sunset, so we didn't have time to detour for a picture. Fortunately, Julie traveled around the Southwest a few months ago, and was kind enough to go out of her way to take a picture of the sign for me!



Now I have a wall devoted to tuba art!



I like this picture, because it also shows a mouthpiece and valve oil:

Childhood Art

Among the stuff my parents gave me once I moved into my new place was this drawing I made of the Delta Upsilon fraternity house in Potsdam. I don't remember the exact date, but I think I drew it around 1982 or 1983, when I was in third or fourth grade. I also printed and framed a photograph of the actual house, circa 1978 (there are a few minor differences). Unfortunately, the Google street view car hasn't made it to Potsdam yet, but here is the satellite image of the house. I sat in the park across the street with a few other students.


Here are close-ups of the drawing and photograph:
