The Crossroads of Becoming
I found it by accident. Tucked between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore, half-hidden by ivy and time, stood a rusted phone booth. Not the sleek glass kind from movies, but an old metal one—peeling paint, cracked receiver, a dial so stiff it groaned when turned. No one had used it in years. Probably decades.

The Girl Who Turned Her Face Into an Aquarium . AI-Generated.
When people first saw the photo, most of them thought it was edited. A young woman stared into the camera, her face transformed into a living aquarium. Tiny painted fish swam across her cheeks. Blue water-like shadows curved around her eyes. Light reflections gave the illusion of glass, depth, and movement. It looked surreal, impossible, and strangely emotional.

Dunn & Sandwichgate
"Sandwichgate" -in this topic- refers to an incident: The 2025 acquittal of Sean C. Dunn (i.e., "Sandwich Guy") for throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent during Trump-era protests, while viewed as a symbol of resistance, was also scammed into existence as a misdemeanor assault.

The Bench by the River
Every evening, I walked past the same old bench by the river. Its wood was weathered, gray with age, the paint long gone, and yet it had a quiet dignity that made me pause, if only for a second. I had always been in a rush—rushing home from school, rushing to finish homework, rushing to keep up with life. But that evening, something about the rain, or maybe just my exhaustion, made me stop.

The Day the Silence Learned to Speak
On the edge of a quiet town called Marrowell stood a clock tower that had not spoken in twelve years. People still checked the time by it, of course. The hands moved faithfully, circling the face with stubborn loyalty, but the bell—once the town’s heartbeat—had gone silent after a storm cracked its iron tongue. The mayor promised repairs. The years promised forgetting. And forgetting, as it often does, won.

Martini's
Just a note all of these Christmas movie illustrations were created by Valentin Ramon in his book 'The Unofficial Christmas Movie Coloring Book.' I believe most everyone should know that "Martini's" is the bar where George Bailey's friend owned. I used colored pencils using shades of blue for sky and snowflakes, gray for car with red brake lights, green for the pine tree, brown for the walls and fence, and black for the trim of the building and steps and sidewalk.

Route 66
boots (my own) These two illustrations are in a new adult coloring book entitled 'The Route 66 Coloring book'. The black and white drawings were drawn by other artists I just colored them with my favorite medium colored pencils using in the boots drawing-orange, yellow, red and black, brown and tan. In the main illustration it's a drawing of one view of Route 66 traveling down the road. I used shades of blue for the sky, shaded together black and gray for the road as well as greens for the trees and in the fore front I used orange and red for I made the little area like a flower patch on one side and light green on the other side. Again, I used colored pencil for this one as well.
