Carnival

Story: I became inspired to do a piece of work inspired by events synonymous with the summertime.  I think you all would agree that the Carnival or any Carribbean celebration in your neck of the woods would top the list.

Sorrow

Title: Sorrow

Story: As usual, I like to create things that tell their own story. The country is experiencing a tough economic time and some are more affected than others. There are some working class folks and some in the unemployment line who are both wondering how they will continue to take care of their families or themselves. This piece is for them!

Cool Learning Tools... Or Just Plain Fun!

I think it's a pretty cool and non-messy way to have some creative fun without the hassle of cleaning up afterward.  Check out more on their website http://artacademy.nintendo.com/
