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.

Visitors

On their flight back home, Benny and the gang decided to take a quick trip and visit the moon. They wanted to see what NEET-O things they could pick up on their trip, but while looking around they weren’t quite sure as to whom really was the visitors.
