* The following is an update from the artist, submitted on August 5, 2013:
I always wondered what exactly my purpose was here on this planet, but felt I had no solid artistic talents to pursue. The realization then came to me that I’m here to be of service to my fellow man. And that’s what I do every single day, whether it’s a smile or a hug—anything that makes someone’s day just a little brighter. It’s what I’m here for: I CAN Serve. My I CAN serves as a reminder to maintain the dual creed of positivity and service that I’ve always tried to uphold throughout my life.
