Our Summer Issue Cover was painted by 10-yearold artist, Viggo! The painting is titled "The Ice Cream" (emphasize on the The), and Viggo says he had a lot of fun painting it while at Tinker Art Studio. Viggo is going from 4th to 5th grade this year, and although he's excited for 5th grade, he's mainly excited for summer. This summer, Viggo plans to hit the pool and playhis favorite video game, Minecraft.

Viggo lives in Louisville with his little sister, Shajaira, and two fur babies - Pickles (a chihuahua mutt) and Ziggy (a chorkie: chihuahua-yorkie).

Louisville is also where his favorite restaurant, 740 Front, is located. His favorite food is teriyaki steak. Viggo gave up candy in 2023, but he's dreaming about the dayhe can eat Smarties Gummies again. In his free time, Viggo plays the electric guitar. He knows how to play acoustic guitar too, but prefers electric because it's easier for him, which makes sense because Viggo's favorite music is classic rock - particularly "Black Dog" and "Sweet Child O' Mine". He hasn't seen it yet, but he thinks the new movie, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, is going to be his new favorite. Viggo's favorite TV to watch is anime, especially the show Naruto.

Viggo always plays basketball and wants to be an NBA player when he grows up. Or an artist. Or a guitar player!
