“I have always been attracted to 3D artwork, but this one in particular because all of the layers, panels, colors, textures, and the different stories it produces every time you see it.”

“This piece reminds me of my son when he was five years old and attending Prescott Elementary School. His class had to do the California Raisins dance in their program. He was so mad and embarrassed, because he didn’t want to wear his raisin costume. All four of my sons went to that school, but unfortunately the school has been torn down.”
