I aged a few years and got my money's worth out of some therapy sessions from that day — but I've got a babbling, squealing little boy who army - crawls around the house, is learning signs, and is
fascinated by shoes and semi-trucks.
He was
fascinated by particular self - taught artists and focused his attention on James Castle, Bill Traylor, Nellie Mae Rowe, Thornton Dial, and someone he regarded as his own discovery, Willie Young, an African - American man who, when not shining
shoes in Houston, made obsessively complex, poetic drawings on scavenged paper.
