Testimonials for this guide:

I am in prison and am interested in any form of self expression to help me build healthy habits instead of my current self destructive ones. My goal is to build a new go-to way to express my emotions instead of drugs and violence. Truly I just like learning so I want to explore all you have available.

- Zachary, in prison in Texas

This art guide is very in depth, and it shows you step by step on how to see artistry. You won't believe how much better I have gotten, and how much I've learned. It has filled that void that kept me uptight all day, walking around with a mad look on my face. It is a stress reliever for guys like me behind bars.

- LaVoy, in prison in Texas

I would just like to thank you all for creating these educational guides. It really means a lot to me to know that there are people out there who care about people in here like me. I really believe that the more people are able to learn and educate themselves then the world can be a safer place.
