Panorama
DaVinci Parks
The alter ego to Lee (the Poet), DaVinci Parks' Panorama Project was an experimental foray into hip hop with friend and producer OJ Miles. The two, both fans of hip hop, decided to collaborate in 2005 on the project. After starting with great energy, things were complicated a bit when OJ moved to Atlanta with his wife. Undeterred, the two finished the LP, along with help from friend and producer K Murdock a.k.a. DOC (of Panorama, RPM & XM satellite radio's SubSoniq series). The project wrapped in early 2007, but wasn't finished in mixing until later that year, which was more of a disconnect for the artist, who had creatively and conceptually moved on to other things. The long wait was just enough time for the artist to feel he had matured past the project, and caused him to sit on the project instead of release it as originally planned. Instead of doing nothing with it, he decided to make it available for free download.

Andy & Mae
Dr. Pat Roberson-Saunders w/ illustrations by H. J. Lee Bennett,
III
Andy & Mae is a brilliantly illustrated story of two naughty
little rabbits who have been disobeying their widowed mother and
menacing their neighbors in Animal Land. Mr. Lion crafts a plan
to bring Andy and Mae under control. A morally redeeming story that
is a must read for children and parents, alike!
Dr. Saunders is a university professor who specializes in business
and entrepreneurship and has a national reputation for researching
and working with minority- and women-owned businesses to help them
to become more effective and profitable. About this, she is extremely
passionate; however, she also has an intense love of poetry and
other forms of creative writing. A devoted Christian, she recently
founded These Three Productions, LLC, for the purpose of publishing
literature that focuses on the three virtues described in I Corinthians:
13: faith, hope and charity (love). Andy & Mae is the first
in a series of books that Dr. Saunders plans to publish under these
themes. She believes that showing love to children involves not
only “giving cookies and candy and other goodies” but
also imparting values that help them learn how to positively relate
to others.
