I'm sure you know the feeling of having incredible people in your lives. People you've met and become friends with, people you do business with, or have as close friends. I'm so lucky because I recognize that while consciousness is the volitional force of the universe, creativity is the essence of consciousness, and I have some very conscious friends.

Chris Schelling is the artist who created the gas pump element of my logo. We are going to be doing dome pretty cool stuff with that in the future, so keep stopping in if that sort of thing excites you. Click on the image to go to his very far out site.
Scott Bluemel is my NEXDemand.com business partner. He has taken to the concept like a fish to water and has been invaluable in helping me to hone the vision. Scott "gets it", and then some. Here is his blog: "Value Creation Is The Key To Happiness."
Aside from being a walking library, one of my best friends, a Schoolteacher who actually puts education before "test scores" and politics, PBM ( that's how he wants to be referenced) is masterful in the kitchen. Here is his blog, Moodyitchen. Cooking is an art form, and the depth of respect and culture reflected in this blog is due some proper heed.
Montana Boroughs is a graphics artist I recently met. We have hopes of working together on some kid oriented comic books that will both stimulate and educate young minds. Some pretty unique and more than capable stuff can be found at his myspace page.. click the photo and check it out.
Tamar Mag Raine is one of my newer friends who has a way with color. She does the type of art that would look great on a large wall, in a spacious, airy room. Kids really like her work, and so do I, being the kid at heart that I am (something Tamar and I have in common). Click on this photo to see her stuff.
If you have ever seen the old TV variety shows from the 50's or 60's, you might remember the guy who would get a bunch of plates spinning on the sticks. He's have all these plates spinning, and he'd be running around from plate to plate keeping them going. Well, meet Miss Mia Park. And don't get dizzy trying to keep up. What does she do? Wrong question. What does she NOT do.
Gerald Hawk is my oldest buddy from my youth. The freedom and creativity that flowed from him, those memories, they still inspire me to this day. He's quite a multi-faceted artist. As soon as we get his website back up and running you'll be able to see what I mean, but for now, check out the Sun City link to the left, right there... that one.
Ever meet someone who is just naturally bigger than life? When you experience their creations you just know they have that "thing" that the greats have naturally? It's Mami, La FemaLyricist, and she don't lie. When you go to her page to check out her songs, they are all the best one. I tend to like the lyrics on the first and last ones the best, so just start at the beginning and go all the way through. Oh... she's a Mom, too.
