Hey gang! I just received information about tickets to the Kaneko Events during the Fall meeting.
Scroll down to the NORTH CENTRAL CHAPTER MEETING SCHEDULE and down toward the bottom of that entry is the information about ticket prices. We will be provided with a certain number of comp tickets. Get a hold of Jeff Koterba or myself if you need comps. Or see Sara Bongers at Kaneko about ticket information. She can be reached at sara@thekaneko.org

Star Wars Oil Paintings


Here are some oil paintings I've recently finished. They were for a friend who watched my lil girls while I went on the NCS/USO tour to Germany last spring.
