Many children make amazing imaginative art, when they decide to focus on it on rare occasions or are assigned to make it by teachers or other adults.

Read MoreShowcasing his wall art assemblages, Thom J. Ertl Designs is a hybrid of wall art and furniture. It incorporates and recycles common, everyday items—bottle caps, beads, fabric, bric-a-brac, just to name a few—into modern, artistic, practical, original home furnishings and interior design. It is a reflection of over 35 years of artistic experience, combining visual merchandising, graphic design and contemporary urban assemblage with a strong sense of whimsy and color and a thought-provoking element of surprise.

Each artist had only one week to react to the artwork that was created by the person working just before them. Each reaction reveals ideas related to an artist’s personality, visual style and his or her view of the world. All of the work is connected by the shared love of making things and the willingness to find inspiration from another artist's ideas.
