About James G. McDermott how it started
James G. McDermott
Born July 4th, 1955 in Queens New York. I was touched by God at a very early age. I was with my Mom shopping at the Green Acres Shopping Mall in Valley Stream Long Island. I was two years old, I knew the toy department was downstairs in a place called J.J.Newberrys. I slipped away from my Mom as soon as I could so I could check out all the great toys downstairs in the bargain basement area of the store. When I finally got downstairs I noticed some bright lights and flickering lights to the left of me. Yes! I found the pet department. I walked into the pet department, or should i say I scooted over there. This was the very first time I ever have seen fish tanks. Meanwhile, my Mom was freaking out and looking for me along with a bunch of store security people. About two hours later they finally found me standing in front of the fish tanks in a hypnotic trance. I was mesmerized by seeing all these sparkling little fish. I thought for sure my Mom was going to kill me when we got home. I think I got lucky because she was relieved to find me
When I got Home from the mall an artist was born
The miracle of my art and the God-given talent was about to become self-evident, even though I was blind in one eye and had to tilt my head to see out of my other eye. The passion that emerged from being at that pet store. For the next two years, I started to draw thousands upon thousands of little fish that resembled the current day Christain fish
symbol
Confirmation of my early art gift
I was so annoying, running around saying look I'm an artist showing off my little fish drawings to my older brother Bob. he finally said if you were a real artist you could draw a picture of the 57 Chevy in the backyard. I came back in 15 minutes with my first ever 3-dimensional drawing of the 57 Chevy. I was around four years old at this time. Everything in my life since then has always been about art
This is why I sign my paintings with the Christian fish symbol at the end of my art name J.Macky
