Yeah, Mr Bob, Neil Young, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Tom wait, any many more pushed into my ears at young age, hated the time now now love them all! Coach your old man must have good taste also. Sorry this is off thread. But jeff are you interested in doing something for my old man I think I owe him.

[arcam]

Respect Mr Aerosol.

[Oliver Winconek]

Good old Jef, nice to see that he is so keen to encourage young artists, we are really to have someone like Jef as a member of this forum.

[Gurn]

This is what it's all about..great thread..Jef you are a gent

[Cocteau 101]

Coach, thats what it's all about mate, my youngest daughter who is 9 met a guy who is a great painter last week and she was delighted that he came to our house with his stuff and we just sat and chatted for ages.
It's amazing how kids get so into it early.
Jef is a top bloke and totally into it for the right reasons I hope your son really gets into ita, you must be made up.

Nice one

Beautiful!

[Photoxtc]

Thanks for sharing that... you can't help but smile when you think of the Joy he had opening all those goodies!!!

Jef is a Class Act, truly one of the nicest guys out there and hearing this makes the two pieces I have from him all the more enjoyable...

Mucho respect for Jef

[Martin Whatson]

The beautiful exitement of a child.
I wish I could experience that again!

Great story.
Made me smile!

[pezlow]

That's an amazing story coach. Top marks to Jef who does seem like a really nice guy.

[robertlondon]

Great story

I must say I think Jef's animals are truly remarkable. I love his pigeons and his marvellous frog.

[olapig]

What a fantastic story and a brilliant gesture from Jef. Top man!!!

I took my 11 year old son to cans and it totally blew him away. He came straight home and put a picture of Banksy's Hoodie as his wallpaper ;D

I think it's Great to get the kids involved if you can so they can form their own opinions.

Oh and I've also been told that when my Fight Vanity turns up it would look much better in his room cause it is blue ;D ;D

[gra]

top story... ya lad could be the next soupastar............

[Pistol]

That really is a lovely story! Well done to you and your son. I twice tried to email Adam Neate and twice got an automated reply from Elms Lesters (exactly the same wording both times). It must have been nice to get a genuine reply from a genuinely nice bloke!

[slowmo]

Like it, nice way to start the day reading something like that

[killerkellah]

fantastic story.

[timba82]

what a lovely story to wake up to on a saturday morning....Jeff your a dude.

[moleman]

when is jef gonna put your lads art up for us to see

[seidbereit]

Great tale, coach! Very refreshing and heart warming and well done Jef, a true gent!

felix: PMSL! ;D

[goffy]

Nice one Jef. You obviously made the boy's day if not year.

[Bram]

Great story and Jef is a top bloke!!!! - i'm just trying to get my daughter to write to Mr Neate, telling him how great he is and how her dad would love a signed 3d piece by return ;D ;D ;D

seriously, that is a nice touch from jef.

I know Adam gets a huge amount of emails so does find it very difficult to reply to all of them... I'm not sure how you got an automated reply from Elms on his hotmail address though

[Jef Aerosol]

Dear friends
discovering this thread made me feel very very emotional and I have to say my eyes are wet...
Thank you so so so very much...
Here is one of the drawings Luke sent me :



I love you all !
peace
Jef

[shaunyboy]

Well done all round.
I knew Jeff was a special guy when I bought a print off him.
He actually reads and replies to your e-mails.
It might not sound like much but it counts for a lot.
I've heard this cobblers about, oh he gets lots of e-mails so he couldn't possibly reply to them all, before. It didn't wash with me then and it doesn't wash now.

It reminds me of when I e-mailed my MP. A certain New Labour Clone by the name of Tom Levitt. It took him well over 2 weeks to reply to me justifying the war on Iraq.

Later on I e-mailed one of the great minds of our time and yes one of my heroes, Noam Chomsky, and in less than 2 hours he personally replied. I kid you not.

And he must be one of the most e-mailed people on the planet getting literally hundreds of e-mails a day.

At the end of the day either you give a s**t about your correspondents or you don't.

Jeff does.
Chomsky does.
Levitt doesn't.

Since then I know it is possible for people to reply to e-mails, it is that they choose not to if they don't.
Make of that what you will.

Peace and Respect,

Shaun

[Blind Angle]

What a great little story....well done Jef! Luke's drawing is great as well!

cheers

Ragnar

[themightyreds]

Great story this.
Well done Jef for making a young one so happy.

& shaunyboy you are spot on with your point about people replying to your emails, or choosing not to.

[master]

One of the best posts I have red on this forum for a while... What a top bloke you are Jeff... Every time I see your stuff I will remember this story. Little gesture like this puts everything into perspective.... Thanks and keep it up...

[jonpud]

I would expect nothing less from Jef!

Another little reminder as to the true meaning of this forum and community!

With all the negativity that has developed on here over the past 12 months this is a breath of fresh air!

Nice one Jef!

[Jef Aerosol]

Thank you very much !

[grantb]

it is great. jef should now base some work around that work that luke sent, guess its not his type of style though (i see more todd james) in it.

[scavos]

As prevously mentioned coach is a self-confessed fuckwit when it comes to computers and downloading photos etc. That maybe the case but he's an absolute pleasure to know and this thread is a credit to him as much as his boy and Jeff. Good on you all.
Here's the work that Jeff sent through to coach's lad.
