Video and art pieces display at Myspace

Thanks to all my followers and readers to support my son and me on this journey. Lets go back and begin how this idea came about: I remember one day sitting at the doctor's office and usually Arthur's will draw to make the waiting time more enjoyable, one afternoon his therapist came out and ask Arthur to give one of his drawing for her to frame it, to display it at her office and other children could enjoy them, she also gave me the idea to do something with his art.

Well, after a while a few ideas came about it. First to enroll him on art, but I decided to test his art on eBay, at the time I was selling and buying a few things. I remembered that on that first week a teacher bought all his drawings to display it at his school. Arthur was so happy that he was encouraged to keep on drawing, after the teacher a painter came and bought them and them collectors all over the world. Right now we opened a store at Etsy but I still sell on eBay.

Now going back to Myspace, the page will show one video and Arthur is describing one of his work . Also we have a display with a lot of his art since the beginning of this journey. It will give you an idea of his style and ways he had improved his art.

    Hello, thank you for following my blog and leading me across to yours. I admire that you are doing this for your son and think it is wonderful how art is helping Arthur to express himself. I truly believe that art is a way to help and reach out to so many people, in all walks of life, all over the world. My son has dyslexia and his outlet is his own creativity. Well done Arthur, love your paintings and wishing you all the best for the future. ruthie

    It is great to meet you and Arthur! I had a look at his paintings on My Space and was blown away! You have a truly very special son who has found his way of expressing himself in his own unique way. I am going to really enjoy following your blog! I and my son have Attention Deficit Disorder and I have often wondered if this is related to Autism in some way, maybe a very minor form of Autism? I would love to hear your views.
