I love the feeling I get after completing an art project that I was working on. I stare at it. Sit back and smile. That’s it! The joy of making something with your hands makes you feel amazing.

What Is Your Carbon Footprint?

Environment

What is your carbon footprint? Is that something you ever thought about? Wondering what that means? In its simplest terms, a carbon footprint means the amount of greenhouse gases produced by a particular human activity (CSS University of Michigan, 2020). These activities can mean anything that you do while home, in school, at the office, outdoors and more. Even in your sleep, you produce a carbon footprint. According to the EPA, many of our daily activities cause emissions of greenhouse gases (EPA, 2021), which contributes to our carbon footprint.

For the Love of Comics and Paper

Tips & Trends

Nearly 10 years ago, Superman Action Comics #1 sold for over 3 million dollars.  That’s a lot of paper for, well, a little paper.  If you look at the artwork, it hasn’t aged all that well.  By today’s standards, this handywork wouldn’t even qualify for a student newspaper.  But it had the unique distinction of being #1.  It set expectations, it changed them as well.  It wasn’t just the artwork that connected with a generation, it was the messages tucked inside – good versus evil, heroism, random acts of kindness. These aren’t just dust collectors; this is heavy duty stuff!
