Moon Adventure Painted

I began a series of sketches awhile ago I called The Adventure Sketches. Each one was meant to be a moment during an adventure but only insinuated the characters or the overall story. The idea was to give kids the opportunity to make up who these characters were and what great adventure they were on. In a sense, I was aiming to have children create whole worlds and stories in a single image. I did this because I realized that children these days don't use their imaginations like they used to. Everything is handed to them on phones and computers. They don't grab a stick and see a thousand different magic weapons it could be or tie blankets around their necks and go in search of innocence to save or monsters to battle. This ability, while it may seem silly and childish, is terribly important when it comes to creativity, intelligence and critical thinking and I really hope to one day put a book together to inspire more parents to show their kids that their are whole universes inside their heads if they just allow themselves to walk through that door before it disappears....
