 This is, to my knowledge, my earliest true art endeavor that is finished.  Its kinda abstract.
 This picture is of a part of some kind of historical building in Michigan.  Maybe some kind of mill. 
 This is sort of a concept drawing done in colored pencil of...well, of a castle.
 Colored pencil rendition of a part of the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C.
 Funky row of birds from a picture taken from a pet shop. 
 My own idea.  I love coming up with new buildings and environments. 
I personally like this picture the best.  Its my own design of a commercial building.  I thought it looked kind of cool. 

These are two of my pieces of artwork that I have done.  The top piece is one of my earliest entries in art at the Shiawassee county fair.  The picture of the spider is done in pen and ink, and the other is done in pencil.  I will put more up soon.

Trombone Shorty vs. Wynton Marsalis

this video is of Wynton Marsalis and a trumpet/trombone player who has a lot of skill. I particularly like the sound of his trombone playing. Its not quite as mellow as trombones usually sound. He also has a fairly new CD out called Backatown which is very good. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell his name. His real name is Troy Andrews, but his stage name is Trombone Shorty. This nickname was given to him when he was little because he started playing trombone at like 5 or 6. The trombone was taller than he was, hence the name.
