Starting today you can buy my art prints through Society 6. My library is small right now, but will continue to grow. I also have a library of items for sale on my Zazzle shop. To make things easier I have created a page on this site listing all (or most) of my items for sale. Just click here.

In case you haven’t heard, Apple’s former CEO, Steve Jobs, passed away yesterday (October 5, 2011). We all owe Steve Jobs a lot! Even if you use PC and Android products you have Steve Jobs to thank for inspiring those products.

Note: The above image was taken directly from Apple.com.
