Frozen - The ever popular Disney movie is now available in my shop. See my profile for my Etsy shop.
This book was included in the Hand Lettered exhibition at Abecedarian Gallery in Denver Colorado in 2011.
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration originally premiered at the Premiere Theater in the Streets of America section of Hollywood Studios during the 2014 Frozen Summer Fun and moved into its current location at the Hyperion Theater in Echo Lake in 2015. The show is hosted by two live actors known as the Royal Historians of Arendelle who humorously recount the entire plot of the entire 2013 animated feature, Frozen in 25 minutes, pausing to play the songs from the film with the audience encouraged to sing along with the aid of the on-screen lyrics. The hosts are joined onstage with appearances by Elsa, Anna and Kristoff.
Last Tuesday my Uncle Jack died. He was 74 years old. He was the eldest brother on my mother's side of the family.
Regretably, I did not know Uncle Jack nor his family very well. And after I pick through the foggy reasons in my mind I am not sure why I did not know him well.
Uncle Jack was a person who worked with his hands. He was a manufacturer at Fiberite for many years. In his spare time he liked to work with wood. He also liked watching the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings on the television.
At the wake and the funeral I was reunited with his large family. He has a beautiful and gracious family. Kind sons and daughters and many many lovely grandchildren.
Uncle Jack passed from this life a very rich man.
I started thinking about family over the weekend and its importance. To know where you come from. Meeting some of Uncle Jack's children over the weekend helped me with that.
I made this drawing today of my grandparents farm. This is the "Lower Place". The "Upper Place" I don't remember much at all and I think it had been sold before I was born.
This is pretty much how I remember it. It was sold a few years back at auction. My mom took the turning gate and put it at her home. The big tree behind the house was incredible and was called "the air conditioner". The stained fence leaning against the barbed wire fence was a place that we would climb to escape from my uncle's dogs.
I miss this place a lot. I dream of it.
I'm pretty sure the window on the second floor of the house is innacurate. Too late to change now.

'I've got open eyes,
And an open door,
But I don't know what I'm searching for.
I should know by now.'
He's walking down the path, his backpack on his shoulders and earphones plugged into his ears. There's a quiet, sad smile on his face; it's as if he's happy about doing something that makes him sad, but it makes someone else happy.
'Well, I've a big old heart,
This, I know for sure,
But I don't know what my love is for.
I should know by now.'
The strong breeze pushes his hair away and makes him look up and around him; he realizes he's been walking for a long time-longer than he had intended to, but he needed to clear his head. He still hasn't decided yet. He could take the easy way out-and lose a lot of friends. Or he could fight through and see what happened.
'Well, I spent my money,
I lost my friends,
I broke my mobile phone,
3am, and I'm drunk as hell,
And I'm dancing on my own.'
He didn't know whether to trust or not. Everyone else had failed him in the past, no matter how close to him they had been or how long they had been close. It was as if he wanted to try again, but he expected them to fail, too. Why should they be any different? They were only human, after all.
'Well, it's hard to find a reason, when all you have is doubts,
Hard to see inside yourself when you can't see your way out,
Hard to find answers when the question won't come out,
Everyone's filling me up with noise, I don't know what they're talking about.'
You play with the cards you've been dealt, but sometimes, you don't know which card to play next. Always keep an ace hidden, though. Never show your entire hand, no matter what.-That's one of my original quotes. Sometimes, you have to open your soul and your heart-even though it's a big risk-and have a little bit of faith in life. Because if you don't try, you'll never know.
'See, all I need is a whisper, in a world that only shouts.'
