This artist, Steven Quinn, is one of those people that I’ve never heard of until today, and when I visited his website, I was blown away. There are so many colorful, abstract, fun and creative paintings, designs, illustrations, photographs, etc… There is visual inspiration overflowing there.
These paintings below were particularly interesting to me. We all know how boring it is to go to a professional photographer and have family portraits made. As a matter of fact, after my son turned five, I stopped putting him through that experience. It seems unnatural and over-posed. To me, it’s so much more fun to just take candid photos of life as it happens. So, it was interesting and bizarre to see these paintings created by Steven Quinn. They are the unofficial Star Wars family portraits.

Proof positive once again that cell phones will kill you! Well, until next week, when a new study proves they are good for you! But this week…brain tumor.

But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institutes of Health said on Tuesday, adding that the study will likely not settle recurring concerns of a link between cellphones and brain cancer.
