Your thoughts on the Arts
What the Arts mean in my life/To my company?
Art shaped my life. Blessed, with the heart of a boy, the hands of a man, a good shot of Dr. Seuss, I tamper, reshape and reform common things hoping to kindle a fire in the thoughts of passers by. Believe it or not this is my job.
