Who’s your monster? Inspiration from Children.

I have always found children’s artwork to be interesting in both their young imaginations and the details that they choose to incorporate into the work.
I ran across this page today and I thought I’d share. It takes a Child’s drawing and an artist comes along after the child and “finishes” the work.
Here’s an […]

Philosophical Thoughts at Work

I used to be a photographer for Olan Mills. One day that I knew was going to be particularly slow, I took my laptop to work and began writing.
