I ran across a booklet I picked up in 2001 that showcases the art of Sharon Kopriva. I really like her work even though it is grotesque.

It isn’t name brand, but my grandmother and mother chipped in to buy it for me on my 16th birthday. I had less than a year off of drugs when they had bought it for me. Fast-forward many years later to today: I find myself really LOOKING at my guitar.
On my way to the campgrounds, I ran across some creepy places… so you know I had to stop and take pictures
