I recently did a colored-Pencil illustration of the center of town where the Illinois Central built their infrastructure in 1854. Fast forward to Feb 20th, 1885 and a fire would erase most of it. Buried underground still, and only a handful of photos and a Sanborn map to unravel the mystery, I cared to look deeper and this is what I came up with.
I hope you will view the many items I have available on amazon, all ebooks, easy to download, and I keep everything priced so ridiculously cheap. The purchases help keep me inspired at least. When items are purchased at the museum it also helps support the museum.
My music is available through cdbaby.com or itunes.
On to the next video project. Only a few more history projects to do then I am DONE. And once I am gone, so is every account I have on the internet, the books, the postcards etc., So get it while you can.
Lastly, I am sorry that we live on a planet filled with human beings that are not intelligent enough to love and be at peace. War is and always will be stupid. It's unfortunately human nature. "Us and them." I digress. I guess I am angry. I have an allergic reaction to hatred of others because they are "different." Evolve, people!
