A solemn tribute to Officer Timoshenko

I am currently based in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn New York. We are a community based off of the south eastern end of Prospect Park.

As many of you may have heard, there was a brutal shooting of two of our NY police officers (Herman Yan and Russel Timoshenko). It happened about 100 yards from my home. With the passing of Officer Timoshenko, a few of my neighborhood residents and myself went to visit the 71st precinct to offer cards and kind words for the 71 and Russels family. It was a impromptu gesture and i couldn't create a decent card but did make a collage:



I was surprised when Bob Marvin of The Lefferts Manor Organization's Echo (our local newsletter) asked me to print it. I am thankful and yet still hoping that Officer T's family can find a way to deal with their grief.

A match made in Brooklyn

The last few months I became addicted to Myspace.com It has been awesome making contact with old school mates and friends from long ago. So I found Tyese, a woman I was in the first grade with! We also went to Middle school at Phillipa Schuyler (class of 91).

She put her engagement pictures up on her web page. As I explained to her the work that I do, we exchanged a note here and there. She and her Fiancée are looking for a plum, lavender colored invite with a possible Brooklyn theme. These are just mock-ups of a possible scheme. I took a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge and with the magic of graphics; I made it into a backdrop. I liked the idea of the gate fold. It has a "Welcome to Brooklyn" feel.
