This is Fletcher's Chicken. He drew it freehand, from memory, with no practice sketches. He then wadded it up and stuff it into a plastic egg, and gave it to me.

Maybe this doesn't impress you. All I could think was, "Wow, he's not even six and he's doing conceptual art, and decent, legitimate conceptual art at that. And it's a pretty fair drawing of a chicken, too." I've paid to see conceptual art that didn't excite me as much.

What's even more weird about this, is that when he draws people, they're REALLY primitive and out of proportion; pretty much a square body with a circle for a head, two straight lines on either side and two straight down for the arms and the legs. Sometimes the faces are inside the head, sometimes not.

since Sept. 10, 1998.
