Career day is show and tell. On career day you get to talk about your profession to students and hope the kids are interested enough to ask questions. Hopefully a few of these kids will be inspired and realize that there is a wonderful career as an artist. Every year I try to attend at least two career days. This year i had the opportunity to present my comic strip Fouls and violations to grade school and middle school kids. I designed a handout for the kids to create their own version of Fouls and Violations. I was amazed how much fun I had watching the kids write and draw their interpretation of what a Basketball referee would do in conflict.
Big shout out to the students in PS/IS 76 on 121st street in Harlem, NY and The Brooklyn Brownstone School on MacDonough Street in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, NY.
