Volume 1 was released in print format in 2012 as Bullets and Bandaids through Hidden Wounds, 701 Whaley, and Piensa: Art Company. This first installment paved the way for the nonprofit organization as it is today. Many original artworks were sold at auction and are unfortunately no longer part of the permanent collection.
