High school artwork. Gun oriented, of course.

[Wyatt Burp]

These were drawn while in high school class when I was 16. I would have been a sophomore. English class, mostly as I recall. I watched so many westerns I had guns and holsters pretty much memorized. That group shot started with just the card table then characters were added as I went along over a period of time. Oh. I passed that class just fine.

I wonder what would happen if a kid drew that in school today....?

Red flag!!! Back then in metal shop I made a cast in sand and it was an 1860 percussion colt mold that I of course chose to use. Couldn't do that now. That "gun" is hanging in my patio now. Here's one from the early 1990s. I never did finish the wrist cuffs...

I'm envious, I can't draw a straight line with a ruler for a guide.

Today you would be suspended, expelled, and scheduled for a psych. eval.

Depends on the state and school district?

We made numerous weapons in shop class, including throwing stars made from sheet metal.

Eight grade science project was home made gun powder with drawing of cut away cannon. Even lit the powder, got 100 on that. Probably get 100 years in jail these days.

Are all your gunslingers left-handed? Every one you've shown us so far is a southpaw.

Great art work.

Fella In the top hat in the first is using a cross draw... all the rest are lefties.

Burp wish I could draw like that.

Wyatt ! excellent artwork! And done in school is the best part. My art teacher for the last two years of HS told me several times I should talk to someone, Pythons, Troopers, Highway Patrolman, pen and ink was my weapon of choice. Also made a clay S&W that turned out pretty neat, the HS Narc at the time said it looked cool but be careful with it, imagine that happening today !
Always enjoy your posts.

From some holster posts I remember that WB is indeed a leftie.

Pretty good. I do set a low curve, as I would mess up a stick figure.

Most dangerous weapon that I made in school was a straight pin with a wad of wet paper around it shot through a straw, to get rid of the flys at school.

When in grade school, I used a thin 5" rubber band, broken at the bend
and screeched back to 7-8" to hit a fly that was 4-5" away.

Now that was fun !!
