"Curiously people think that the difficultly of drawing is making things look accurate. Accuracy is the least significant part of drawing. BUT you have to learn how to draw accurately before you can do anything else, then you can begin to think about drawing expressively. That's another game entirely." - Milton Glaser

Poto and Cabengo: The secret language of twins. "In 1978, French filmmaker and sometime Godard collaborator Jean-Pierre Gorin, then teaching at UC San Diego, trained his lens on eight year old identical twins Grace and Virginia Kennedy.    Poto and Cabengo, as the two girls called each other, spoke to each other in a private language they’d made up.  Because their father feared they were developmentally disabled, the twins were neglected by their parents and kept from the outside world and their unique language flourished in that neglect."
