A while back I said, hey got a new job, will be spending more time posting stuff and learning news things and sharing that new learning. It started going in that direction but then my time started getting eaten up more and more with work and issues with people, issues with tech, issues with direction, […]

The pictures do not do this justice. In person it looks 3D and made me gasp when I took it out of the box. My sister the official artist as in she makes art day in and day out painted it. She is amazing and can turn any picture or multiple pictures into just about […]
