Meagan has been turning into quite the artist. She must get it from her mom's side of the family, because it SURE isn't from mine. I mess up stick figures.
Anyway, taking a page from some of my friends and a few of hers, she has been getting into a few Anime show series'. In doing so, she has developed something of an obsession with the art styles of Japanese animation (both print and screen). Below is a sampling of some of the things she has been working on.
It's gotten to where she actually wants to move to Japan for a couple of years to study that art style. To prepare, she is going to be using Rosetta Stone to start learning Japanese this year for her Freshman language requirement. She's even managed to convince her Aunt Elizabeth to go with her in a couple of years (she's going to be applying to get a job soon to save money for a passport and a trip there).
I love the passion that she is developing in going after what she wants. I can only hope that as parents, we can continue to help teach her how to find and go after (and want) the things that are best for her long-term. But I guess that is just one of the many typical "parent worries" when one's child is growing up faster than you think they should...
