This Mom Lets Her 4-Year-Old Finish Her Drawings, And The Results Are Hilarious!

[arcane1]

At first, artist Mica Angela Hendricks didn’t want her four-year-old daughter near her new sketchbook. She is serious about her art, and she knew little Myla would want to scribble all over the pages. Then, her daughter said the words that changed everything.



“If you can’t share, we’ll have to take it away.”

She had used her own mother’s words against her, and now Mica had no choice but to indulge Myla. She let her daughter finish one of her sketches, and pretty soon, they had a whole collection of collaborations.

16. arcane1, did you cross post to art? eom

[arcane1]

17. I never think to cross-post things, but I will.

Thanks for the suggestion

18. And I thought there was nothing new

in classic art. This is very surreal making a meld of different ages of artistic maturity is like seeing your own development and maybe a new perspective on how we think. It's fun, beautiful, thought provoking, and it's really a new branch of modern art. I fall short of calling it a new art form but it is a very innovative style of art. I like it. I'd buy one.

It's Like Dali meets a 2nd grade art class.
