Billboards seek to reunite decades-old kids’ drawings with their now-grown creators

The two Sanford students used crayons to draw self portraits, then turned their artwork over to Crayola, the famous art-supply company, which 20 years ago was collecting kids’ drawings to display in galleries across the country.

“I hope one day to be in an art gallery or in a famous museum,” wrote Emily, then a fourth grader at Bentley Elementary School, in her artwork’s caption.

“I wanted to show how much fun my family is,” wrote Tommy, a Bentley second grader, in his description.
