Cal Is Good At Art - Tumblr Posts

i know there’s a lot of controversy over the smiley face on cal’s hand and whether it was a cut or a drawing, but let’s act like it was a drawing.

imagine cal being bored in class and writing random things on his hands and his arms. he’s been sent to the office for it multiple times; they usually just tell him to wash it off and stop being a distraction or else they’ll call his parents.

after a while, cal gets tired of getting singled out and having to carry his stuff down to the office, so he stops drawing on his hands and begins doodling on his jeans. when he’s at home he sews cool patches into the denim and draws the weirdest pictures. he even lets andre write his initials on them and draw one or two pictures. andre would draw more if he could, but both of the boys know he’s shit at art.

he’ll sit in class with his knees tucked up against his chest and draw little spirals and faces onto his shins. he mainly does it in science and math, classes he knows andre understands so he can just get notes from him later. his parents get him a sketchbook, hoping it’ll stop him from marking on his clothes, but it doesn’t. he just starts doodling in both.
