It's a start

So MB&B had a small "start" recently with Walton County's Youth Advocacy Board's "Why can't you, EXPO"

If you were there for it, you know how it worked but if you weren't... here's the breakdown.
The EXPO had a ton of "stations," each had a different interest or career path. There were tons of people sharing their life's passions with kids who have their whole futures ahead of them. There was a "why can't you be a photographer," booth which was outstanding. "why can't you be a firefighter," among others.

Mine was small but mighty, "why can't you be an artist." I got out the IPAD with a wide array of my current and older projects to look at, but it was the sidewalk chalk that was the project of the day. I really enjoyed getting down and dirty with layers of colors and from the gritty paws the kids had, I think they enjoyed it as much as I did. (and for those of you slightly giggling at the photo in the Walton Tribune... I'm laughing with you.) Really glad for the opportunity to get out there and talk a little about the struggles and rewards of a creative life.

Now, for bigger things. I'm planning a one day clinic soon. Details are fuzzy but I do think the stars are starting to align for an afternoon of art and fun!
