One of the best parts of street art is interacting with your environment. I really admire artists who are inspired by what already exists and add their own spin to it. It's not as easy for me to do, so I get excited when I can make a statue a little more fancy....
On the first day of every month, I compile a list of my Top Ten Things about the previous month. I also ask for my friends' lists, and it's wonderful to read them. Reflecting on your life in a positive way is an extremely good skill to have, and if you can't do it...
One of the benefits of living in Maryland is that you get a lot of different types of scenery. We have city, ocean, mountains, and more. I've been to Ocean City many times, but it had been years since my last visit. One of my goals for this year was to build a...
