2nd Chance Art

My son is presently an Inmate in a Utah State Correctional Facility. I have started a small business (Raven Novelties) based upon his art. All the proceeds from the business are placed in an account to give him a second chance. The business and proceeds will be given him at his release. My son is a fine person that made a stupid mistake and neither he nor I justify his actions but he deserves a “Second Chance”
We hope to expand the idea to extend the opportunity to other deserving Inmates Who might create appropriate works of Art.

The Raven Lunatic Story

In September 2010 as an inmate at the correctional facility in Gunnison Utah, my son developed the idea (Raven Lunatic) and did his first drawing of the logo pictured here.


The Idea was to indicate an extra ordinary interest in rigorous sports such as football, basketball, surfing, four wheeling etc. That is you are a raving “Raven” Lunatic about such activities. The final Logo has evolved into the following example. Which has since been protected by law.


All of the “Raven Lunatic” art subsequently depict a characterized Raven participating in these several activities with more to come.
To see examples of my son’s “Raven Lunatic” art go to the Raven art tab found at the top of the page.
