Hey guys,
Just in case you are looking for that perfect gift for a loved one, my dad is an artist and he also teaches art classes out in California. His work is just incredible and he does commissioned work if you want. You can see some of his stuff at

Thanks Cory, bookmarked.

I may get in touch with him to compare notes about our pasts.
