Hello Luke, I am an artist myself and when I saw your collage of photo + pencil, I thought I would leave a comment for you. I really like your composition and the use of two forms of art (drawing & photography). Art has always been a gratifying and also a healing thing for me, for emotional ups and downs over the years, and a really great way to express myself. Sometimes others wonder about a certain art piece I create, but that's what's so cool about it all - it doesn't need to make sense to anyone but yourself, the artist. I encourage you to continue to explore using your mixed media technique and if possible, to even read up on it. (I can suggest artists names if you are ever interested). The possibilities are endless! Currently I'm working on combining old photos with actual letters from WW2 soldiers to home that I've collected over the years, I then use glues, stains and hot waxes, with colored pencils/paint to give it my own spin, and also with the addition of found objects added into the wax. It's a very personal expression for me, you may want to give it a try! Keep up the art work and positive thoughts, humans evolve and grow and you never know where you will find yourself in the future - physically or emotionally. Best of luck, Julie P.s. possibly you would consider allowing me to incorporate some of your blog posts into my art some time? I wouldn't do it without your permission.
I read this post with such shame for the way this man has been treated for so many years. It's a shame for fellow human beings who've chosen to treat him with less respect than they would give to an animal. I'm only one person, but I will speak out to anyone who will listen and will write on behalf of the unfairness he's been subjected to for so many years, (regardless of whether there is belief in his guilt). The most critical fact to understand about capital punishment is that we, the USA, have placed ourselves in the company of Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and China as countries that execute the most inmates. That is nothing - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - to be proud of and should make all Americans shamed and devastated with the association. I send my personal wishes for peace and sincere hope to Mr. Rose and would like him to know he is not forgotten.
I have just finished transcribing your blog, and I find it really interesting. It's really nice from you to not only appreciate Taylor Momsen's appearance but her ideas. Nice job :)
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. It was really good, and I'm glad that you decided to write a blog. I hope that you keep on doing it. It is truly inspiring. I would like to express my sincere condolences to you; your friend will never be forgotten.

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind And oh, the shame He was ashamed Thought of changin' my name What's in a name? And I got downhearted How did ya feel? Everytime that I...
Hey! Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids! Oh. Sorry
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
Hakuna matata is a Swahili phrase that can be translated literally as "no worries." Its meaning is similar to the English phrase "no problem" and is akin to "don't worry, be happy". The phrase is uncommon among native speakers of Swahili in Tanzania, who prefer the phrase "hamna shida" in the north and "hamna tabu" in the south. The phrase has been popularized by its use in The Lion King and Timon & Pumbaa (TV series), so that it is heard often at resorts, hotels and other places appealing to the tourist trade. Furthermore the phrase is in more common use in Zanzibar and Kenya.

30 years is too long for an innocent man to suffer. I will sign your petition and hope that 2014 will bring you justice.
Best wishes and God Bless.
