I’ve always believed strongly in giving back to the community in anyway possible. So I was all over the opportunity to come to my cousin and his wifes 5th grade classrooms at Schendel Elementary school in Delhi, CA to speak to the kids about my career in the art field. I felt so honored to do so and were so stoked the kids were digging what I was throwing their way.

What 10 yr. old wouldn’t love a woodland creature?

I focused on letting the kids know that anything they imagine can become a reality with discipline, ambition, and practice, practice, practice.

I’m working on some fur for my return to the chilly SLC.

The kids were extremely respectful, we all walked away with some rockin’ elf drawings, and now I’m off to scarf down some enchiladas.

    Awe, you are so awesome Tony! The picture of my brother and sis-in-law brought a tear, I haven’t seen them in almost a year and I miss em!
    OK, so now you need to come out here and do your thang-I’ve got a three and a half year old who would worship the ground you walk on if you did Spiderman or Thomas the Tank in his room. Oh, and Kamryn would probably love Tinkerbelle in her room. You may be SOL on Brianna’s room-if you were even able to get IN her room with all the crap on the floor, you’d realize pretty quickly that almost every inch of wall space is covered in posters. LOL Love ya!
