Heh, Mr. Kantorka sure is one lucky guy - but in our family my BF is the real artist, with food and otherwise. If I tried to surprise him with my attempt at craft, I'd probably get a forced half-pitying smile and a pat on the head: "You tried very hard for this, baby, right?" Not exactly OMG, it's gorgeous... ;) I'll show you once his attempt at art, I can't attach anything here, but he's really good. And a computer programmer, mind you, completely missed his profession! ;)
Ahem - pssst, there is no "my" art, nothing in my LJ, see? *innocent blink* (Just a bit of doodling around for laughs ;))
Those stick figures, however, are glorious! :D How can someone stick (!) so much expression and body language onto a stick figure is beyond me. I'm sure you can do just as well - and you've got 24 shiny proofs of your artistic skill now! :)
