Somewhere a child dreams
of the happy years
What shall I be, who shall
love me

Years later on a squalid
pad
a child gives what she 
never had

now a child screams
crying falls upon deaf ears
What have I come to
where is the love
I never knew

Alone she wonders
how it would be
if she were home
at once joyful and free...

Human Trafficking is a subject close to my heart. I had never heard of it until a few years ago, then I watched the movie "Human Trafficking" with Donald Sutherland and was struck by how easily even the smart and savvy among us are taken in by these thugs. I knew that I in my younger days would have succumbed also. It is heartbreaking. This are was inspired by that movie it has been years since I have seen it but I will never be able to forget it.

Human Trafficking happens everywhere, in every city. To real live INNOCENT children, tricked, deceived and swept away. Forced labor, forced prostitution or both. The average lifespan of victims of human trafficking is 7 years. Only 1% are ever recused. What can we do? Start here:http://www.freedomyouthproject.org/

I haven't been on here in a while. I have been taking care of some personal stuff. They have found a large cyst within my spine and have been trying to figure out what we should do with it. Anyhow I am still drawing, painting and sculpting (less hours than I used to)but still going! I thank God for that so I thought I would share a bit of what I am doing. Three Graces is an old piece I did 25 years ago, I recently pulled it out and decided it needed to be re worked. I wish I had taken a before pic but as is par for the course I just dug right in!


My Steampunk/Cyberpunk series "Edge of Dysphoria" is alive and well, heck I am starting to identify with the women built with artificial parts! The Shepard Princess is the series latest edition.

And then finally there is the endless struggle to keep the bunnies out of my kitchen garden. I had read some where that you can put a garden hose piece in your garden and move it around ever so often and rabbits and squirrels will mistake it for a snake and actually go no where near it. The article did not say that the hose had to be ugly! So you tell me is this scary? The bunnies think so!!
