Just as politics were becoming curiouser and curiouser, Alice fell deep into yet another rabbit hole... America in Wonderland... where she believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. In her dream she was given a potion that shrunk her down to the 'Stature' of Liberty, Uncle Sam was Mad as a Hatter, the Democrat Donkey was as unpredictable as a March Hare, and the Republican Elephant bore the sinister smile of a Cheshire Cat. When asked to join the Tea Party Alice remarked, "But I don't want to go among mad people,". "Oh, you can't help that," said the Republican Elephant: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Republican Elephant, "or you wouldn't have come here." Don't know how much they accomplished for their constituents on that fractious day, but there they sat to enjoy their 'Texas Tea' and apple pie! Vote "America in Wonderland" to be elected for print on Threadless! Thank you!! 
When men were called to duty, they carried with them photos of their wives, girlfriends or their celebrity crushes as inspiration. Their 'pin-up girls' reminded them of what they were fighting for - for the women they love to live in freedom. Men are now fighting for the women they love to live free of cancer.

Mike, the beloved Bayou Bengal has left his mark as a beware to his opposing teams! "Scratching" out this ferocious feline via cg was both exciting and challenging! I wanted to capture his beauty, strength and pride which embodies the spirit of LSU!

Sport Your Stache by Valerie Strecker
In the wild, it's a gallant male's 'crowning' achievement that gives him a certain distinction among his rivals. For man, it's the magnitude of his mo during the month of Movember that sets him apart from his peers. This tee comb•ines these powerful forces of nature. So go ahead, gents - sport your stache. Strut your pride. Ladies, here's to men's Health! http://bit.ly/VoteSportYourStache   
Walk in Love. Love thru Shoes.
Four billion people live in conditions inconceivable to many. Barefoot, they walk terrain we can't imagine stepping thru. We have the opportunity to love thru shoes. Bringing awareness brings hope. Invest your heart in someone's sole during the worldwide One Day Without Shoes, April 8th 2010. Thanks to John Strecker and Cindy Strecker for helping to develop the concept! http://bit.ly/VoteLoveThruShoes   |
Check me out, I got printed! My gallery photos
I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.
My designs  All about me
I grew up in Louisiana enjoying the rich cultural experiences of great food, nature, and family. Coming from an artsy family, mother & brother-artist and father-musician, provided me with an environment to imagine and create. My mom helped in teaching me design, composition, typography and the “hands on” art. As for the cg... that was self-taught!
Around age 17, I started airbrushing pixels with Windows Paint '95. A friend then introduced me to Adobe Photoshop 5 and said "this is the magic wand tool", "those are crawly ants" and "here's the paint bucket"... now go for it! I had no idea of the “fun” that lay ahead, but stuck with it! I've endured all of the “fun” aspects of maxing out 3 computers (now on computer no. 4, “Big Mac”) and at 26 I'm enjoying a successful art career as a graphic designer. My passion is working with bands to create their image - from album covers to graphic tees, starting my own clothing line, designing surfboard graphics, developing company logos and branding, and working with organizations that affect positive change in the world - both humanitarian & environmental.
