New Original Artwork


"Spirit of One" , makes its debut exhibit today. Daniel painted this very quickly on the floor one night in my apartment around April of 2007, We are glad to present it now in the art gallery.


Here is a Quick Link: http://danielmccree.org/art6.aspx

Here's Whats New- (or 2)


DANIEL MCCREE ART GALLERY
www. DanielMcCree.Org

From the editor:

We've updated a few things this past week, to Including new Videos, Artwork, and also Recently added new original writing.


Here are some quicklinks:

http://www.danielmccree.org/effort.aspx (NEW WRITING)


http://www.danielmccree.org/triplets.aspx (RETURNING FEATURE VIDEO)


http://www.danielmccree.org/sketchwork.aspx (NEW ART SECTION)

**New Videos have been included to the Landing Page, including "Ol '55" from Tom Waits. This classic, was among Daniel's favorite songs, and has been on the playlist since late last year. Also see "Gocchur Rings?", a video tribute to the olympic swim team.

**NEW ARTWORK- as you know, we are always finding new peices of Daniel's original artwork, and have actually yet to exhibit all that remains in the collection today. So you never know when something new may pop up. Currently we are "bringing out" a sketch he drew on graph paper. The book at one point included various mathematical equations, D-QASHUNS if you will.

**A great Story- As you may also know, the website has long since participated in a linkshare site, to help us find new readers. LinkReferral, at one point made up 40% of our readers, today there are more visitors, and thus less a part of our readership. At any rate, we often receive "reviews" regarding our content.

This was actually the second time this question was raised, in that we do not "Banner" throughout Daniel's site, how exaclty he passed away. In both cases, the visitors were compelled to "find out", and became frustrated, its not written in black and white. I was more than happy to explain to the why.

For those of you who may wonder yourselves- Its planned that way. Because Daniel never saw life in terms of "Black & White", but a larger mystery, one must actively seek the answer to.

I first tell them, that it would be EASY for us to simply write it ourselves, but preferred to let Daniel tell the story in his own words. And leave them with the friendly challenge, that the whole story is there.

And we too, feel there are much more important aspects to his life than the impulsive decision that was made. I think for me, this website has offered the "opportunity" for anyone willing to seek, to find the answers. Not only to that simple question, but much more.



"Down the Rabbit Hole", as we would say. (Alice in Wonderland/What the Bleep)




Depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go... :)









Thats the "D-Vine" we're talkin 'bout http://www.danielmccree.org/









Sincerely,




Colby editor@danielmccree.org





The Rabbit Hole begins down here, you read this entire letter, here is your "secret Link", of stuff hidden in the closet right now: http://danielmccree.org/aidsdaze.aspx

the creative works and spirit of Daniel McCree,

July 2008 NEWSLETTER DANIELMCCREE.ORG
From the Editor:
Remembering Daniel McCree (November 21,1979- July 23, 2007)

I would like to take a moment to thank each of our visitors,
and especially those who have contributed to the development of
DanielMcCree.Org.


We are always on the lookout for childhood
photos and any stories you wish to share.
For myself, and perhaps you may agree, the past year
has been one of great challenges, and enormous changes.
As we observe the final week of July, let us remember fondly
the time god gave to each of us to share with Daniel,
as breif a time it may have been.
It is my firm beleif that he continues to influence each
of our lives, and I know in my heart-
he watches over 'the grapes of his vine'.

Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to exchange
stories and share new memries with both Daniel's family, as well as
friends and loved ones who knew Daniel throughout his life.
Each time I hear from one of you, it reminds me again why
DanielMcCree.org is so important.

I began the site on a promise to Daniel, and have found inspiration
from the occaisonal 'newly found' artwork or photos that is contributed
from people like you. In some cases, I have heard from people who knew
Daniel well, but had simply lost track of him. Sadly it was thru the website,
they learned of Daniel's passing.
You know he traveled extensively, and certainly had a talent for making
friends wherever he was.

I encourage each of our visitors to continue the dialogue and
contributions, as we continue to share 'This Place for Daniel'.

He will live on, through each of us, and the spirit in which he carried himself
all the days of his life.

Sincerely,
Colby Kluthe, editor

consider this your personal invite to join Daniel's Spiritual Family for worship on Sunday.
112 Sydney Street, 63104. Services begin at 11:30. 'Come all- beleiving as you do'.

Daniel was very active in the MCCGSL community, insisting that I come to church with him.
His level of devotion was for him, going to MCC entailed more than a mile of walking,
and a 45min train ride. (often making him late), but NEVER a reason not to come.
