My Wheelchairs' Egos

Contact YouTube

For this set of prints, I used images from my original paintings and drawings to combine in photoshop to create new works. I do not really keep a sketch book, so I use the work that I already done as the sept for the next piece. Once that I was satisfied with the new image, I printed them on overhead projector film. Then that was exposed in a light until to burn/etch the image into the photo-lithograph plate. After that you are all set to roll as with any other plate.

Tiny Houses For PWDs

 Facebook    Gallery    YouTube     Twitter

I remember when I was young my mom would often ask where I want to when I get older. I would always reply a motor home, so I could keep moving around the country, once again it seems I was ahead of my time. In a new trend people are building tiny houses that are accessible for People With disabilities, this is a better alternative then renting a subsidized housing that one will never own and is out dated.

Back in the late 90’s people invested in building community living places for the elderly, I would do the same for PWDs. Buy property and run water and electric hook ups for tiny house.  That way PWDs have option of place to live in their own houses.  I would also build places so there could be PCAs on call 24 hours a day, but they would have their own spaces.   I am just an old soul hippy at heart, because you know what this sounds like!

This is what I mean by a transformer wheelchair, I’m sure by the end of one day pieces would be falling off due to my CP. Someone should take the song by the Eurythmics and turn it into Demolitionary Man as the CP theme song.

The first black Barbie to use a wheelchair is here, and people are loving the message it sends to kids
I like how she comes with her own ramp, as she can tackle anything that gets in her way! I always thought that it would be cool to have a ramp the rotated around my electric chair, it would rest in back of me and when needed, it could rotate from back to forward, over my head. It could also double as a roof in bad weather.

50 States. 50 labels. One way to score $100* - MTN DEW®
I wonder if anyone has done the math to see how much it cost to collect of 50 bottles in order to win the $100? Maybe MTN DEW figured people are traveling anyway for festivals so they could use some extra cash.I can see, if they come in 6 packs, people trading them as they do with Olympic pins.

This reminds me when I used to go to Skate Land, I would get go on the rink once an hour with three guards. One would push me while one skate in front and the other would protect our 6.

I really do not know how much work would get done during those late nights during finals? This is the type of thing people wanted to design to get me of my knees when I do my art.

If PWDs is the largest minority, than we should become the majority vote!

America will always be a work in progress, because that is what it is to  be human. just because someone is voted to be our leader does not mean they have the perfect answer and no law is without it's flaws.  That is why I  voted since the age of 18, so I could be part of the debate and hopefully shape the world into a better place.  I might not see the effect in my life time, our jub is to give guidance for future generations.

Starbucks to Stop Using Disposable Plastic Straws by 2020

               Facebook    Gallery    Twitter

My hippy side says alright, alright, alright, but as a Person With a Disability this might lead to frustration. I have never used a paper straw myself, I do wonder how long they hold up from the biting that I do. I did hear that Starbucks might offer metal straws, I wonder if they will be available for an extra cost? Before Brooke gave me a metal straw I really did not like frozen drinks, because I could not suck them up due to my biting. By this time I started to have missing teeth, so the straw had a slot to fit through. Other wise this type of straw would be too hard on teeth, talk about a Gimp Dilemma!!!
