From the editor:

Over the past three years now, I seem to always cross paths with things that remind me Daniels spirit remains with each of us. For those of you who have known me a long time, you know that I spent 8 years working for Hard Rock Cafe, opening the St. Louis location in 1998, as well as a transfer to Las Vegas in 2000. Upon a recent visit to the St. Louis Cafe, I was excited to see they had rotated the memrobilia that was original in 1998, and while randomly selected from a warehouse in Orlando Florida, they chose to place "My Chemical Romance- Welcome to the Black Parade" items in a very prominent location.

It can be said that the more you look for such "miracles" the more you will find. From the video selections you may find on facebook, to the Artwork I look at today, and understand even more, what Daniel's point was. I recently looked at a peice as I hung it on the wall, and saw the same hand as always, but now it dawns upon me its "Red Handed", lol Only Daniel thought to express through art this way, making it a complete blessing that I came to understand the "wordplay" he often incorporated into his creative side.

The secret is to sometimes call out what you see, and you may understand what it being said.
The selection this month, is oil on canvas and was situated above the refrigerator at his apartment in Belleville.
Titled: Above the Fringe, Above the Fridge, it remains among my favorites.

As always, thanks to our many supporters, and i want to welcome our 230 followers on Facebook. Each of you play an important role in our mission.


"The mission of DanielMcCree.Org is to share with the world,

the creative works and spirit of Daniel McCree,

foster a dialogue for those who were moved by his life,
while promoting the 7 Arts of Power:
Literature ,Performing Art,Visual Art,Design Art,

Decorative Art, Technological Art and Spirituality"


Someone recently requested we should "clarify" our mission, and after some consideration, and review, I came to the conclusion that our mission is not only clear and defined, but I think we hit it spot on, and our mission should not change at all.

Through our work with Metro East Pride, our outreach online and visiablity in the community has made great strides towards this mission, and continues to offer us clear direction in what our purpose is.
Much thanks to our Board of Directors, and to all who support our endeavors!
Sincerely,
Colby Kluthe
