Our Mission Statement

merrillr@littlerainey.com (Merrill Rainey) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:53:00 +0000

One of the best things about my wife being a second grade elementary school teacher is that whenever she needs some kind of artwork or illustration she comes to me.

This always gives me the opportunity to try something new and show it off to the worst critics of all, kids!!

This particular piece was for her class mission. Let me know what you think.
