A Note from His Sons –

The Verdeville Studio Company’s
Rock the Art Wearable Commemorations

It all began with one question.
What should be done with our father’s art now that he’s gone?
Rags entrusted the fate of his art to his sons after his death. In 2007, a document written in his own hand was handed to us by our mother, Shirl.

He had four suggestions we could choose from.

Number four left us dumbfounded because it required trashing his artwork and pretending it never existed. Numbers one and two just didn’t hit the mark. But number three appealed to us, and we have come up with some great ideas for sharing his talent with you.

Being his kids, we’re creative too. Rather than framing and selling the art to put up on a wall, perhaps enjoyed by a few but not seen by many, we’ve crafted more adventurous plans. We are spreading his vision to as many people as possible.

Of course, we also hope to ‘make a nickel’ as he would have said. Stand by! We’ve got some great ideas cooking!”    Lee and Cary Lathouwers
