"Build a Dream" Homes as "Door Prizes" from the Door Plant for opening of homeless center won't happen...But another door opens...

For 19 months, Artchilles has worked on getting some of his "Build a Dream" drawings of homes, created on the factory floor,  at Kempsville Building Materials, back to the location they were created, the Housing Resource Center, that opens there Aug. 23. What makes more sense than placing in the facility, works that were created there, by a struggling artist, who salvaged a dream there. He was down on his luck just like the people the center is to help. He is an artist that has come up in the School of Hard Knocks of the Door Plant, to develope an award-winning drawing style. He drew on old invoices, bearing the KBM logo, and building developments of the bustling late 1980's and early 1990's, adding history to the works. The invoioces were ripped to adapt to the small drawing board. In between assembling doors on the line, he drew his heart out. To improve efficiency, he took up karate. He was the most efficient worker on his machine, and when there was a contest for cost saving ideas, he won the Grand Prize.
