Ten-Year-Old Guitarist

This talented ten-year-old has been playing his Gibson Les Paul guitar, his drums and singing in popular venues since he was eight years old. 

He loves an audience, and says his goal is, "to be a legendary rocker the whole world knows." 

He taught himself to play - no lessons. 

Perhaps he will take me on tour with him.

Young Mensa Member

Mensa, the largest and oldest High IQ Society in the world, accepted my eight-year-old client when he was seven years old. 

At the Mensa Mind Games in Washington, DC, (April, 2012) he was the youngest adjudicator present, responsible as a Mensa member to play, review and vote his top 7 picks of the new board and card games competing for the 2012 Mensa seal of approval. 

When asked what he wants to be when he grows up, his response was, "A scientist. I'll invent all day and party all night."

Sounds right to me.

The Illustrated Woman

This lovely lady is a feminine work of art.

Her tattoos are a combined picture, meaning she can put her arms together to make a solid drawing. The flowers represent each family member she loves. 

The butterflies illustrate a time when she was an iron worker. It was her first time on a particular type of girder, and wore no safety cables. She was ninety-feet in the air and just as she took her first step onto the girder, a butterfly landed on her shoulder staying with her all day. The trolls are a man and a woman giving each other a lady bug; the gnomes are protectors.
