My Right 2 Write!

My Right 2 Write is a project by three graphic designers looking to contribute their skills for the good of the local community. Out of a brainstorm came the idea to handcraft blank journals and to donate an unadorned composition book to a local needy school for every original journal sold.

My Right 2 Write’s books are hard cover marble journals covered in vintage & new wallpaper. The covers feature kooky googly-eyed monsters and clever cyberspeak that everyone can relate to.

To see all the journal designs, visit the My Right 2 write Website!

Ray Hart!

The works of Ray Hart feature original paintings in the abstract and surreal style. Hart’s pieces often reflect a sense of constant motion, inspired by his reverence for freedom and the “mysterious unknown.”

According to Hart, art is an effortless, natural occurrence. “I do not paint these paintings, they somehow paint me. Every emotion, which I may have suppressed in my past, is evoked here in my artwork. Thus, the constant focus is on the underneath, as it prepares to rise.”

Visit Ray Hart’s website for more examples of his work!
