This poem is easier read when looking through a mirror. Sometimes in life it is necessary to really look at yourself. Try it sometime!

I am sure this original ad, which I updated a little bit, was quite the scandalous image during its time. For some reason I almost see young boys hiding such an image under their mattress or sharing it secretly with their friends, with a lot of 'oohing' and 'ahhing.' In a very short span of time we have certainly come a long way in what is acceptable and unacceptable. I was reminded of this during one of my recent classroom discussions on censorship in advertising. Today we are constantly bei... Continue reading ...

Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November; Gunpowder, Treason and Plot. I know of no reasonWhy the Gunpowder TreasonShould ever be forgot.

Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

One of the most memorable experiences in my life is having had the opportunity to live in Israel surrounded by Holocaust survivors.

About Me
| Erich Shelton |
| Evansville, Indiana |
I currently teach graphic design and illustration at the University of Southern Indiana. I really love teaching and the challenges which this provides me. It not only keeps me young, but forces me to be that ongoing learner; sometimes referred to as a life-long learner. This goal of continuing to learn as finally brought me back to the role as a student as well. Some years ago I started and MFA, but due to an automobile accident was unable to complete it.
I have just been accepted as a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and will finally be able to work on the MFA. The great thing is I can continue working at USI and will visit the AAU in the summer. The rest of the time I am able to take my courses online.
Like technology and life, it is constantly changing and evolving. What a joy to be part of it all!
