I'm #Lame, but these people ROCK!

I was poking around my new friend Anna's blog - Soft And Fleshy. And she is an amazing artist! Seriously, I feel lame for not drawing as much as I should be! I have a ton of great friends who are great designers and artists. I am inspired to start some new work! Every year the Owatonna Art Center hosts the Festival of the Arts and I figure if I can't get in this year then I can save up and put some work in the MCAD Art Sale this coming fall/winter. Some other awesome people can be found below:

Daily Doodle #1 & 2

I was poking around Wet Paint the other day, it's an art store in St. Paul, MN and not only did I run into my friend Steve, but I also scooped up a new little sketchbook, just begging to be drawn in. I don't do a lot of hand drawing anymore (sad), so I decided to change that by starting my New Years resolution a little early. I'm starting what has been named The Daily Doodle; every day I'm going to hand draw something and update you through my blog and if I miss a day, I better have a really good excuse or pull double duty the following day to make up for it. I hope you enjoy. I'm also happy to hear feedback and ideas for more doodles.

Helping all artist

This Post by MPR talks about an artist-friendly physician in Northeast Minneapolis, who has opened a practice that's getting praised for addressing a gap in the health care system by offering cheaper rates and making it much easier on the poor artist types... I mean, patients.

Here's the Link to Dr. Sam's site, too. If anyone does end up ever needing to go to Dr. Sam report back please!

Ps. I love his logo!!!
