About the Book

This book serves as a publication that succeeds in repeating my attempt at incorporating artists both literary and visual; giving them an opportunity to gain exposure on their craft. For some that are brand new to this and others that possess some experience. Ultimately, with this book I achieved an avenue in which I was able to express my stories, share my craft as a growing artist that has a lot more to learn and further to go in life. As a senior in high school this was my final BIG PROJECT that I conducted for myself to undertake. Allowing others including myself to put color to a blank canvas and give you something to visualize.
