Happy Halloween!!!

Tricks or Treats and everything Sweet! Monsters, Goblins, Ghost, sure are Neat!
Creeks and Cracks and Spooky Eyes, Skeleton Bones and Witches Fly
Pumpkin eyes flicker, Mummies moan and Frankenstein stomps up & down the Street and who would have thought that even ghost like to Trick or Treat? Apples, Cookies, rocks or Gum, it doesn’t really matter what is in your bag as long as you or the unknown around, are haveing fun!

Our Mission Statement

One of the best things about my wife being a second grade elementary school teacher is that whenever she needs some kind of artwork or illustration she comes to me.

This always gives me the opportunity to try something new and show it off to the worst critics of all, kids!!

This particular piece was for her class mission. Let me know what you think.
