Originator: D a v i d E. M c K i e v e r. ( with help from his lovely wife:
C h e r y l ). My interests include writing poetry and non-fiction, as well as
attempting to play the keyboard. If you asked me to tell you which one I
enjoy the most, I'd ask you not to make me choose. Everyone has a
creative gift whether we realize it or not. I feel that any positive
expression of that gift is equally as enjoyable and important as another,
regardless of the form it takes. The Wudds represent an expression of my
own love for music and the creative process, from the characters
themselves right down to the name. If the Wudds can cultivate an interest
and appreciation for music in children as well as adults, then I can hope
for nothing more. Wudds.net is financed and managed by: McKiever-Holly LLC.

We cannot be moved by what we subconciously belittle.
There are many perspectives to what is real. Reality is a very big room,
but many of us have taken away space that belongs to our
own individual creativity and have given it to the admiration of what
others have done. Let that not be the case with you. My disposition is curious. I am a Web Developer. The facets of my
work include animation, music composition and
2D / 3D graphic design. The curiousity is not in what I do, but that,
to a large degree, these things point to who and what I am.
Who are you? Are you not also a creator? Be considered curious by
clinging to your creative identity as a reason to exist, not by living
a lifetime learning everyone else's name ...but yours.
