It's been a year since my family lost my Grandpa Kerwin. I still miss what a great man he was. And I try to keep different things that I was able to inherit from him in my room to inspire me. These things are truly what makes my room/studio such a great inspiration to me:

wooden drawer chest that has paint splattered from years worth of projects in his basement.

the drawing I did just over a year ago from his navy picture

his old camera (he loved taking pictures...we couldn't leave Buffalo without taking a family picture on their lawn)

his 'kerwin' stencil he probably used to label trash cans and other stuff that needed marking.

one of his drawing tools (he was an engineer)


There's a lot of my Grandpa's possessions that I was able to inherit that I am so glad I was able to have. I think it may not be much to other people in my family, but I know he worked with these objects that in some sense or another gave him inspiration, and it inturn inspires me to keep doing what I love to do.
