Some works are on their own pages and some are collections, such as Short Poetry or Artwork. Therefore, on those pages you may have to scroll down quite a way to find the comment box. But all the better, because you will be able to enjoy everything on that page. If you do comment, please mention the piece you are commenting on, unless it is just a general praise.

Mission Statement
t4 Studios is dedicated to personal creativity encompassing artistic, spiritual, and educational endeavors. The purpose of this body of work is exploration, growth, and personal and professional development.
Short Stories & Poetry
Some short stories published here are fiction and some are non-fiction, drawn on my own life experiences. Two stories are a mix of truth and strangeness. It’s up to the reader to figure out how much is true, and it is more than you think. All of the stories and poems are my own original copyrighted work.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of my writing. Compliments and constructive criticism are always helpful. If you are an online or print publisher, and something here interests you, by all means, contact me. 
Artwork
The artwork shown here is all my own original work. I work in oils, acrylics, watercolor, and multimedia. The photography is both digital and some scanned prints. Comments are also welcomed concerning my artwork. All images are copyrighted and permission must be secured in writing from this artist prior to use.
About Me
Black Diamond is my nom de plume, and for other matters, my spiritual name. I was college educated in the Southwestern US, although currently living away from my heart’s home in the Southeast. My interests lie in natural sciences, fine arts, research, teaching, and writing. I respect the earth and all its inhabitants, especially non-human forms, and I continue a life-long nature-based spiritual search for meaning and value in life. I don’t negate the unexplained and do seek out the different.
Peace….. Black Diamond, June 2011.
