I have started a new project called Roadside Memorials. I want to document the crosses and other symbols placed in memory of lost ones along the side of the road. These are temporary pieces of history. Either by neglect, weather or rules that demand they be removed after a specified amount of time, they too become lost to history.
Many monuments and memorials across our country remind us of fallen soldiers, great leaders or dramatic events. The crosses and shrines that we see along our roads are much more personal. They memorialize friends, families and loved ones. People who may not be as visible to the general public but are definitely not forgotten by the people who knew them.
I have started a blog called Roadside Memorials where every week I will be presenting a new memorial found along the roadside.
Box of Crayons
Sunday, June 6, 2010
Give a guy a box of crayons, well, a really cheap set of oil pastels, a sketch book and he will find some time to play. Oil pastels can get a little messy. With little pieces all over the place and the surface easily smudged onto your fingers, clothes, etc. Though they are NO WHERE near as messy as chalk pastels.

If you thought all I was selling was those cards, there are a couple of images and photographs that I have and will be adding. This one I have printed out as large as 20"x20". If you are interested in getting a print of this image please let me know.
