This wonderful guy is proud to be a Lake Orion dragon. He was carved entirely with a chainsaw by Gary Elzerman. There is a carved an “LO” on the rocks and a plaque. If you’re in a school or sports group in Lake Orion, you’re welcome to come by and take a photo with him! [...]

So, if you would like to use this cover for your own production, feel free! The art was created in adobe Illustrator, and [...]
The boy joined marching band, and is having a great time. These guys are competitive, so his entire summer has been spent on various fields and lots learning the moves. This shot was snapped at the first football of the season. It isn’t his hat — he’s a trumpeter, not a drummer. Both cool instruments [...]
