Say, Allen
Drawing From Memory. - New York, NY : Scholastic, 2011. - 63
This is Allen Say's own story of his path to becoming the renowned artist he is today. Shunned by his father, who didn't understand his son's artistic leanings, Allen was embraced by Noro Shimpei, Japan's leading cartoonist and the man he came to love as his "spiritual father." As WW II raged, Allen was further inspired to consider questions of his own heritage and the motivations of those around him. He worked hard in rigorous drawing classes, studied, trained and ultimately came to understand who he really is.
