Prayers for Kenny Brimer. He's having a rough time & a lot of freinds from Hawaii have visited this past weekend. Peep some photos of the visit at Fitted. A bunch are heading back tonight & tomorrow. The image below was a sketch & a painting he had back in 2003. This is back when I started out experimenting with this site & featured Kenny's artwork & Chane Wilson's photos. Keep on Kenny!
