We spent Wednesday morning, working, sharing ideas, experimenting, and just having fun.  Everyone is pushing the envelope and trying new ways of expressing themselves in their art.  As we feed off of one another, and become comfortable experimenting and taking some chances, we increase the likelihood of creating more exciting and meaningful work.
