\"Andreas1_2\"Meet Brian Andreas<\/a> of Story People<\/a>.  He creates wonderful sculptures and works of art that incorporate ‘stories’ and bright images of figures.<\/p>\n

When asked about his stories – he comments, "The stories still lead me around at their own pace & if I’m lucky, I understand them soon enough to make sense of what they’re trying to tell me.  I feel that the stories are catalysts & they help give a new form to our unspoken thoughts & feelings.  I see the strands that connect us, the ways we’re more alike than we’re different, the dreams we all have for the future of our children & our neighbors. The stories remind me that wherever we are, we live in the heart of the world."<\/p>\n

Brian’s website offers loads of lovely stories with fun options… like free e-cards<\/a> and ‘story of the day’ subscriptions<\/a>.\"Andreas2\" \"Andreas3\" <\/p>\n

Our Berkley location<\/a> proudly carries a number of his cards seen here<\/a>. And you can purchase many of his other books, prints and sculptures via his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite stories goes a little something like this… <\/p>\n

I tried for a whole summer to teach our cat to play the piano. We started with an easy song. It was 3 Blind Mice. My dad said it didn’t work because the cat had a tin ear, but I think it was because she kept looking around for the blind mice the whole time & never gave it her full attention.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
