hidden pictures

So, while this makes perfect sense to the artist, I am not the artist. I do think that it is an amazing mural regardless of whether or not I naturally see the "O-V-C-C."

Next time Sage goes to the dentist, remind me to grab a camera

I saw this video on Zach, from Jimmy Eat World's, blog site. I'll include his description too, 'cause it sums it up well:

Check out this clip of a little boy still high out of his mind after going to the dentist. It’s like a cute version of the buddy you have who always overdoes it on the booze.

"Is this real life?"

6 Hours & 10 cans of paint

Youth Center Remodel

The community painted on the plywood covering the tacky 50's stained plastic/glass was looking pretty shabby and faded, so I asked a friend to repaint it. If you look closely you might be able to make out "OVCC."

I left Jake to finish up tonight at 7:30... 5.5 hours into it. Final Picture to come.

Vandalism at OVCC

Restoration on classrooms that had been damaged in an act of vandalism three weeks ago were completed today.

On January 15th, someone thought that it would be clever to flood "The Lounge," a classroom that I transformed into a jr. high Sunday School room, by setting a cinder block on top of a hose and shooting water from a hose at full blast between two doors into the classroom. Water then seeped through the walls into four adjoining rooms.






Three weeks later, and about $9k later, the damage is repaired.
