Valentine’s Day SPECIAL by Snyder Art

Valentine’s Day Special by Snyder Art True love is like a painting. It never wilts; it never dies. It hangs with confidence and radiates with color.

Carl’s Bad Dream by Snyder Art

An early Fall chill runs through moist grass and shadows dance upon a rolling green hill. Cars speed on the neighboring freeway as a low murmur of hot rubber and overworked engines makes their best impersonations of waves crashing upon the nearby beach. A powerboat yanks limp vests and the stories of a thousand nightmares […]

Remembering Same ‘Ol

I first met Don “Same ‘Ol” Hocza in the back of Rite Aid, formally known as Thrifty’s, in the early 90s. I was a young skateboarding kid who used the village streets as my training ground.
