So my son just won an art contest

[MakiSupaStar]

My four old son drew a picture of me and my wife submitted it to a contest at the local Japanese market, Mitsuwa, and his won first place for his age group. There were over 150 entries for his age group (3-5yrs). Pretty proud of the little guy. We won a 50 dollar gift certificate out of it.

It looks just like you....
Seriously though, that's cool. Congratulations.

You should Photoshop an American flag behind it and make it your avatar.

Once I drew a tongue and shades over the top of it... I knew it was you right away...

Now... to get these tongue and shade sketches off my monitor... ???

[bassteban]

now you are a proud man?

That's actually a really good face for a four-year old. I was at my daughter's preschool on Friday when they were doing self-portraits, and most that age aren't able to draw faces/facial features very well yet.

Yeah, so I've been told. He likes to mix medias too. He will use crayons, and colored pens, and I've noticed when he colors something he doesn't just use one color he uses multiple colors within the area. Kind of trippy. He did this giraffe that most kids colored brown and yellow, except his had pinks, blues, greens, oranges, as well, but when you stepped back it looked brown and yellow. I don't know what the hell he's doing, but I'm beginning to get suspicious of his flintstones vitamins.

Congrats, that's pretty cool. Although the first thing I thought of was the Powerthirst ad: "You'll win at running, football, arson, weddings and art!"

That's called optical color mixing. Buy some Seurat prints for his room

[MakiSupaStar]

Actually, Seurat, that might not be a bad idea. He has some of my buddies artwork in there right now.

sounds like an inordinate amount of skill for a kid his age (better than I am right now...)

you may have fathered the next Picasso!
