on sunday afternoon my pal West called and asked if i would write him a letter of recommendation for this cultural exchange program through his college. he said he already had a letter written by one of his art professors, and he needed a letter from someone who wasn’t from the college. i was actually honored that he thought of me.

i thought it was going to be difficult to write that letter, but it really wasn’t. and since he already had a letter from a teacher i decided to write the letter in less of a student/teacher format and more from a peer/collaborator format. which i don’t feel is that far off the mark. cos while we’d call it art lessons, i don’t feel like i was really teaching anything like techniques as much as i just provided West and Sara a forum where they could create what they wanted and if they had any questions i’d try my best to help them. and feed them. my god, can he eat.

like i said, the letter was easier to write than i thought it would be. when i started it i was thinking about how i could make West sound good, and it just poured out because West really is an exceptional young man. and i’ll admit it, i actually teared up a bit because wasn’t it just last week he was Liz’z annoying little brother?
