Clarence Pencilman Pointer a Man With a Pencil Paper and Purpose

There are still a few homegrown things that come from the USA, and Clarence Pencilman Pointer is one of them. Hailing directly from Alabama this man makes a pencil do on paper what Monet makes a brush do onto canvas. He makes it dance. He makes the pencil sing and gives it a voice. He makes it draw. His family and friends felt that Pointer was truly talent worth nurturing. They offered their support by purchasing drawing materials, and anything needed to help him continue to create. Gifted at an early age with the ability to see lines, shapes and figures sight unseen Pointer has taken that gift and now sharing it globally. He says the tools needed for any artist and drawer is to make sure that the materials used for drawing are of quality. A noticeable difference in different lead types is always a good thing to have in mind when approaching certain subjects as well and the more practice the better. He says that only in practicing can one become a master at one’s craft. An Airforce veteran having served in Okinawa he met a master Japanese artist who encouraged him to put more focused energy into each project. Well, it didn’t take long after that chance meeting for Pointer to excel and win several awards in local art contests and soon skyrocket to international acclaim.
