Shino Takeda

I am inspired and in love with Shino Takeda’s ceramics. I am taking a ceramics class in June for my first time.

Here is her website and her etsy store.

Corpus Delicti: The tale of Joe Ball, Alligator Man of South Texas

Our friend Teppei made an animated film about the serial killer Joe Ball. Lots of the buds contributed their voices. It turned out great!

Jo Mora

I just discovered the art of Jo Mora and have been enjoying it a great deal. The Byrds used his work from a 1932 poster for their album “Sweetheart of the Rodeo”. Click on the images for greater detail.

I especially like the maps that he made!
