A pencil scratches on paper, making lines, which join to make shapes, which when looked at together, create beautiful things. A man, arms spread, glides through the air, suspended by not a thing. The moon, but up close, with a boy eating the surface. One assumes it’s cheese. Another, a glider rushing through the air, flying on its own. Shaped like a bird. These were dreams on paper. But no hand can draw all dreams, too majestic they are. So the pencil was a limitation, but still, the artistry was incredible.
This drawer and dreamer was named Jacques Fiacre. Only nine, he rivaled the best drawers of the 1780s. His room, walls made of drawings, was a museum of art. Pencil, pen, charcoal, these media, and others, drew his work. Along with pure skill, practice, and training, another way Jacques made his art stand out was that he used multiple types of medium in a single piece.

The family could easily use just one story, with Jacques sleeping in the kitchen/dining room. But he was fine with the privacy of his room, and it gave him space to put his drawings. Not that there was much space left. His walls were covered in not only mediocre and fine paper, but also cloth, slices of his curtains, and cheap paper. None of the walls or door remained visible, as was their quantitude. He had wooden cabinets that were supposed to be filled with clothing, but instead he used them for storage. One piece of US standard paper has a volume of about three hundred seventy four thousands of a cubic inch or 0.374 in3. He had about 683.0175 in3 of paper in there. That’s more than the volume of a cube with seven foot side
