Founded by its Artistic Director C.S. Robadue, it has worked on Animated Shorts, Documentaries for PBS, Webcomics, Videos for non-profit organizations, and full length book publishing\u00a0projects. All with dedication and care towards creating something of value and enjoyment\u00a0for the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Imagination, creativity, technique, and artistry, these are the pillars of WaveGarden Arts work. As there is something special about creating something with your own two hands that has never existed before. Nor would have ever existed otherwise! And then sharing that idea, that vision, with other people and having that connection. That is the magic of art. Whether it be in the form of a painting, a book, a piece of music, a film, or a videogame, etc. Those experiences enrich our lives and our culture. And WaveGarden Arts wishes to be part of that movement in life.<\/p>\n<p>Based out of Rhode Island, in the United States, the studio continues to grow and expand its list of collaborators. Currently the world\u00a0of The\u00a0Adventures of August Winter is being launched as\u00a0a series of books. Written and Illustrated by C.S. Robadue,\u00a0they feature the stories of August Winter and his group of\u00a0friends at the Blackstone Academy where they attend school. \u00a0And in addition to their studies find themselves in all kinds of trouble and in the midst of\u00a0mysteries!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;\">C.S.
