More of his art work can be found at www.signalburst.org/rejean.  

A freshman artist popping between his school and his dreaming jobs. He is enrolled in the Mt. San Antonio College art program, but prefers being more of a self-learner as a real artist.

She finds people fascinating and enjoys spending time with them.
