I may or may not have coined a new adjective. But at least I can say I watched the original Star Trek series in the late 60's---when I could, that is. This is one of the drawings I was considering for a coloring book. Back in February of 2018, I drew some small line drawings for school kids who wanted something a dollar or less at a book fair. The librarian who ran it did not have anything within that price range. Using a paper cutter and some regular copy paper, I made around 30 quick sketches and a little placard that read, "Mr. Jones drawings 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar. Believe it or not, those first ones sold and I had to make two more batches. An art teacher admonished the kids she found coloring them telling them they were original art but I figured if they enjoyed them enough to add color, it was their choice. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches ink drawing on medium weight acid-free paper. Original Jones Art is still doing his thing in northwest Austin, Texas. Until his thing is done, of course.
