I am lucky enough to be both a contributor and recipient of this melting pot of support

I feel that the tribute to Dario Escobar was truly the most effective. Escobar is a well-known artist born in Guatemala. He is famous for his many abstract ideas for artwork and his theme for many of his work being made of sports gear and some covered in gold leaf.
