Saturday at the Baltimore Grand Prix
The 2012 Grand Prix of Baltimore presented by SRT runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. I’ve been attending the Grand Prix as part of the SocialGP group and trying to take pictures and share them whenever possible. My friends and I showed up early on Saturday to check out the paddock and enjoy the sights and sounds of the qualifying cars.
Interview with Artist and Illustrator Joe Granski
From strippers and porn stars to protesters, cosplayers, and super heroes in the making, Joe Granski’s work gives a peek into sub-cultures outside of the mainstream.
Joe Granski is a painter and illustrator who is local to the DC area. His portraits explores the way people use images to present themselves and how those images are, in turn received by others. He has recently displayed his work at DC’s Artomatic.

The colored regions represented the various empires throughout the last 4000 years.
Who is Peter Pan Based On and Why Do You Think He is the Angel of Death?

The closest I got was that James Matthew Barrie (J. M. Barrie), the author of Peter and Wendy, lost his brother David two days before the young man’s 14th birthday. David Barrie died in an ice-skating accident which both deeply affected James Matthew and his mother, J.M later wrote that his mother took solace in the idea that David would never grow old and leave home.
