Imagination and creativity are wonderful things. They can take you to different worlds within your own mind. From seeing my HomePage, you can tell that I have some creativity. But, the extent of my imagination doesn't end here. I have done many things to express it. This page contains some of those things. Enjoy!

Writings
McCARRON Part 1
This story was written January 2, 1997. It is about a heroic firefighter that goes to the edge to get his job done. McCARRON Part 1 was written as a creative writting assignment in school.
Backround: First of all, my dad and brother are both firemen. The day before the story was written, I went to a party to honor the new chief of the fire department (Yes, that is the Chief Lee in the story). I had the thoughts of firefighting clear on my mind when I was asked to write about what ever I wanted.
McCARRON Part 2
As you probably guessed, this is the sequal to Part 1. It was written January 3, 1997, again as a class assignment.
Backround: The day after Part One was written, I had to write another story about whatever I wanted. I figured a sequel would be perfect.
Note: McCARRON Parts 1 & 2 won a Merit Award in the Arts and Science Expo at the 1997 National Boy Scout Jamboree.
The Bridge
This is a horror story that I wrote as yet another assignment for school. It was written December 12, 1997. Backround: There is a bike trail that runs almost 20 miles across the Jersey Shore. I had to ride 5 miles of this trail every night at 6pm and 10pm to get to my job. It was creepy going down the dark trail by myself on a bike. My feelings of fear and creepiness inspired this.
Pictures/Artwork
Flower
This picture is one of my favorite pieces of art. It was created in October of 1997 in my Computer Art class in school. The assignment was to make a picture using something from nature and to use a simle color scheme. This is what came out.
Robin Williams and his "Oscar"
This is another great and humorous picture. I absolutley love to take two realistc things and put them together in a wierd way. This picture was the result of another Computer Art assignment. The class had to put themselves into a some sort of photo\picture. I chose to put myself with one of my favorite comedians. To give credit where credit is due, the original picture of Robin Williams was taken out of the April 6, 1998 issue of People Magazine.
Unusual Friends
My all time favorite computer games are the Monkey Island Trilogy from Lucas Arts. This is a picture of me and the villian from the game, LeChuck the Evil Ghost Pirate.
Mount Rushmore?
You always see cartoons and fake pictures of Mount Rushmore that have had the President's heads replaced with other heads. After seeing so many of these spoofs, I thought "Why don't I try that?". Here is what I got.
Grid-Drawn Bag
This picture was completed December 19, 1998 in my Fine Art class in school. The assignment was to find a picture from a magazine and draw out a bigger, copy of it using a "grid-drawing" method and different shades of black pencil.
House Exterior
After finishing the bag (previous picture), one of the next assignments was to create the exterior of a house, and paint it with only different shades of black water color paint. This picture is dated February 2, 1999.
Sunset Palm Tree
I created this picture in the same art class mentioned in the past 2 pictures. It was made with pastel chalk. This picture was completed on May 1, 1999.
Beach Scene
Completed on May 18, 1999, this is a watercolor beach scene. It, too, was created in my infamous art class.
