This was done for the back cover of the Avant Ministries publication, which they are in the process of redesigning, along with the website. They gave me this quote and some demensions, and this is what I came up with.

Secret Garden

This January, Nate and I went down to Hollywood, FL, the town I spent my childhood in, for my Aunt Carolyn's Wedding. We stayed with my grandparents who have lived in the same house forever. My Grandfather has built a little paradise in his backyard, a photographers gold mine, with more knickknacks and kitsch than you can imagine. The garden is complete with hand painted signs, gnomes, and hand- built stands for many a bonsai plant. You can see more pictures here.

Hooked On Phonics

Once again, Christmas was very different for us this year. We tried to make as many gifts as possible or give the kind that give back. I made my friend Chris Bohatyritz this website to help him promote his paintings. And just in case you don't know how to pronounce his name, I've included a little phonic translation on the home page.
