Children's Toys.. by amanda Rae
resin sculpture of assemblege….”TOY” gun and Mothers form John Carnochan 30 years experience policing in Strathclyde said “We know that domestic abuse increases during pregnancy. A mother living in an aggressive environment cannot provide a safe haven for her baby. “Research shows the effects stress hormones such as cortisol have on the foetus’s brain are as profound as heroin. So when the baby is born it is fractious, hardwired for an aggressive environment. The mother then has a fractious baby and an aggressive partner.”

Military Humor by Mark Walker
This guy is PFC Lewis, recently discharged, on ‘medical grounds’. Since leaving the military he has received no support for the numerous physical and psychological issues he sustained over 7 tours of duty. He has taken up residence on the corner of 5th and Main, where he hasn’t lost his sense of humor (yet). He will happily trade you your loose change for a story, or a laugh. / / CONTACT/FOLLOW: /

LIFE - This is not a test by nofrillsart
Turn off the TV…go outside and enjoy life. You only get one…well ok that bit may be debatable if you believe in life after death. But IF it is only one life then you may as well make the most of it. It’s funny how live(as in live your life well) and live(as in live on air) are the same word if you know what i mean. / Keep it real! / NFA

Key to peace (white) by Frank Stillitano
I believe the key to peace is goodness, kindness and love…and—despite the usual hint of negativity in my work—I actually believe that positive messages are more powerful.
