The Chaos (2013)

“Sixteen-year-old Scotch struggles to fit in—at home she’s the perfect daughter, at school she’s provocatively sassy, and thanks to her mixed heritage, she doesn’t feel she belongs with the Caribbeans, whites, or blacks. And even more troubling, lately her skin is becoming covered in a sticky black substance that can’t be removed. While trying to cope with this creepiness, she goes out with her brother—and he disappears. 

A mysterious bubble of light just swallows him up, and Scotch has no idea how to find him. Soon, the Chaos that has claimed her brother affects the city at large, until it seems like everyone is turning into crazy creatures. Scotch needs to get to the bottom of this supernatural situation ASAP before the Chaos consumes everything she’s ever known—and she knows that the black shadowy entity that’s begun trailing her every move is probably not going to help.

A blend of fantasy and Caribbean folklore, at its heart this tale is about identity and self acceptance—because only by acknowledging her imperfections can Scotch hope to save her brother. “

THank you so much! I am in the US, so I will search tat database.

How would I go about finding someone interested in evaluating and conserving 2 drawings from the early 1930's. They are pencil on paper, and were drawn by a group including my wife's grandmother, andHelen Wills, who was an American artist and tennis champ, who is most famous for being the nude model for Diego Rivera's murals about CA in SF. Another person who contributed whose name slips my mind but he took Frida Kahlo in when she became distressed over Diego's affair with Ms Wills.

If you’re located in the United States, you can use the American Institute for Conservation’s “Find a Conservator” search database. 

Another option is to send it to a regional conservation facility, via mail, such as Etherington Conservation Services or the Northeast Document Conservation Center.

I love this shot. As for the saying- it is golden. But I am #ADHD so it is more like dare, dream, and then think. I need doubt, but it is rare for me. #adhdproblems

First, think. Second, dream. Third, believe. And finally, dare.
