McGuire, the artist. Turns out he's too shy to promote his own work, so here I am to do it for him. Everything he does is artistic, even the yards - they're gorgeous. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What he's done most of his life is pen and ink drawings, mostly of wildlife, but he ventures out sometimes - did some antique planes, a firetruck.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then he decided to paint murals on walls - one was over a hundred feet long.
