So yeah I got this new blog..

So on my vacation I got this idea to blog meetings with artist and give them a chance to tell a bit about themselves. Armed with my camera I will set out to meet and put a face to the name and expand a personal handshake to this industry who has embraced me so kindly. Im doin this on an email basis too but the catch is you have to give me a blurb about how you got into this industry and link/pic and what not. Hope it all makes sense. And be patient with me cause Ive got a few that I have to post. Make sure you tell these guys hi and get to know em cause its a blast to get to know everyone on a lil more personal level. Ive got a couple up so check it out. Loads more comin.

it's a wonderful idea
and a very interesting read.

It is kind of funny,
but they all started to turn into
cartoon characters as I continued reading- each with their own personal quirks:)

I look forward to meeting all these nice artists with you. This will be a nice extension to your blog. Already I've seen you go through art school, the ultrasound of your baby and flowering of your career. If only I could go back through time to show you how I became a misanthrope artist barricaded in his studio. I kidd.
