May 24, Gayle’s Something
This is a picture of my Aunt’s something, sent all the way from Arizona. She asked that I dedicate this piece of her passion to the people of Moore, Oklahoma. In memory of lives lost and treasures stripped from generations.

May 22, Emily T.’s Something
“This is a picture of my doodle wall.. last summer I did a Ted talks challenge to do something for 30 days and I chose doodling! It was really fun and cool to develop a sort of doodling style!” – Emily T. I thought this was an inspiring something to put up with only TEN …
May 21, Carrie and Matt’s Something

May 16, Simone’s Something

A relevant excerpt from Don’t Make Art, Just Make Something: “On most days, an artist’s studio isn’t full of inspirational …
