REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE USED TO POST 'throwback Thursday' where they showed images of how they looked years ago, or what they were doing years ago, etc.? Well, this is a serious throwback to the artist I was. I honestly don't remember how old I was, but I'm thinking 8 or 9. My father and I used to go into a gun store in Augusta over near the airport (I think it was on Wrightsboro Road, but I could be mistaken) and alongside guns, they also sold prints of deer or other animals. There was one of some deer in a field and the price tag was well over $1000 and I thought it was crazy someone would charge that amount. Better yet...that someone would pay that amount.
My father wasn't the best motivator and would make comments like, "well you're not that good," or "you have a ways to go and you probably won't be able to sell it for that amount until after you're dead." The latter comment is something I often heard from guidance counselors, friends, family members and the like.
Imagine if I would've listened to them...
