Half Gansburg and Half Schlanger……why expect anything else. Truly amazing!
I’m an painter and graphic designer and I graduated from The Cooper Union in ’71. I won other scholarships as well. and was also a Junior H.S. art teacher.
Shimshy Gansburg has a tremendous talent. A marvelous drawing for a 12-year-old!
Keep up the GREAT work. I can’t wait to see his color work!
(By the way, one of the only, perhaps only, students who got top marks in Cooper Union’s engineering and art schools was a Jew. The Cooper Union is all scholarship. It was the first private, tuition-free college in the U.S.)
Shimshi, we are so proud of you. This is an absalute masterpiece!!!! WELL WELL WELL DONE!
