Belle Starr: Western Bounty Hunter

Story and artwork from Grace Garner

Hello, I am Grace Garner, I’m 16 years old from Jefferson City, Missouri. My dad is a fine artist. When I was young I would watch him paint. He would let me draw on the backs of canvases, and this is when I first started drawing. I consider art my passion, just looking forward to drawing, looking at art, or anything art related inspires me! Art has helped me so much in life and is practically my own personal therapist. I am inspired by my mom, who sponsors why passion, my sister who enjoys art, my dad who is my personal art critiquer, and Walt Disney, who is my idol.

Fading innocence -Artwork by Samania Sakur Auralee

A great dreamer

Story and artwork from Dimitri

I don’t even know where to start. I’m a simple 16-year-old French teenager of Russian origin, and that’s the problem. Being dependent on my parents who hate seeing me draw, it is impossible for me to buy this wonderful training. I am the only one in my family who has been passionate about drawing and art in general since my childhood. Why would you tell me?
