Sean Penn directorial master piece, Into the Wild was a moving picture. The story of a young man searching for fulliment in his life goes on a journey of self discovery that ultimately costs him everything.
A family torn to the core because of issues with the parents drive a young man to turn his back on everything they stand for.

Everyone will want to have their picture taken with this Elk.
The Art Fair has invested $3500.00 with this statue and that would cover the cost. His platform is made of aspen and weighs about 300 lbs. The Elk weighs 140 lbs. and is painted with an exterior sign enamel. It has never been inside a building and he travels well. We love him and hope to find him promoting a new hotel entrance, overlooking a bar, or surveying the diners in a cool restaurant somewhere in the Colorado area.

SAN FRANCISCO—Now you see it—and then you see it again.
You go to the “Picasso and American Art” exhibit here at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and what you see is the face of genius so obliterating that lesser geniuses can do little more than fall in line.
Max Weber, Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollack, and so on: they tried to keep up through the 20th Century that Picasso, the ineffable Spanish artist, did not stride upon the world of art so much as squash it. Starting with Cubism, Picasso not only re-imagined the human form but the human subconscious while he was at it. In so doing, he also re-defined what an artist could be.

I introduced myself and answered their question – Yes, I am a serious candidate – very serious. I explained that when I was doing my daily Grassroots television show, my responsibility to my sponsors, was to generate viewers. My plan to generate viewers was to “Stir the pot” – and I believe I was successful. The key to my success was actually having a plan.
I will not run a “buzz word” campaign. Instead, I will run a campaign that lays out a plan to reach the goals the community has set for itself.
