Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson

 Hi! Our name is Vicky-Verity. We are twins and are Wikiversity mascots. We think Wikiversity is a great place to learn and make friends (when we aren't sleeping). Leave us a message!

Derek Blair: Helltown Grocery I love that you made an everyday sort of life story into something more fun with limited amounts of explosions and exaggerations. I feel like you are humorously going to describe things from a jaded point of view at first, which is usually entertaining, but then you go farther and do better by showing a bit of hope in your determination to craft the pain into inner strength and a determination not to become what you see, but rise out of it and take command of your life with vigor! I apologize for that run on sentence, but refuse to adjust it. I think describing the people of Belltown as zombies makes quite a bit of sense, and rotting is a large portion of what many of them do while walking about. You feel remorse for the loss of fellow human beings, but at the same time your anger keeps you from feeling as though that is all there is to see, and it shows that you mean it when you wear it outside your mind as well. You used to wear t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans constantly, I was wondering “why the new duds.” Now it all makes sense. Nice work, and nice working it out! Sethleneelliott
