Jennifer Diamanti

Great figurative work incorporating collage. Really nice.

Great show at the Linda Hodges Gallery. This image is Beauty by Daphne Minkoff. Great stuff!

Tarda Mucho

Someone emailed me this link. I love the spare quality of the collage work. It challenges my "fill the space" mentality.

Mark Eaton

I also met Mark Eaton at the Art Party. I just love his figurative photography. He prints these on canvas and they have a nice, soft effect. Very nice. Mark just relocated to Seattle so I'm sure I'll be running into him again.

Doug Keith

I had the pleasure of meeting Doug at the Art Party last night. I love his ArtAxes. I have always wanted to do something artistic with guitars but a) never could find an old one to do it with and b) didn't know what I would do if I had it. Doug doesn't have that problem. I found it interesting that he said some folks are turned off by the fact that the guitars are rendered unplayable. Well, they are for display not play. Duh. C'mon people. Despite the fact that a guitar is a beautiful instrument sound-wise, have you ever just stopped to enjoy the aesthetic beauty of their design.
Doug is also a remarkable illustrator. You can view more of his work here.

James Caudle

I met James at Velouria in Ballard the other night. As I was reading his statement, I saw that he graduated from The University of West Florida...just like me...only 10 years later. I really like his work. I hope we cross paths again sometime.

Building C

We met several great artists over at Building C in Ballard on Satuday night. Here are a couple I really liked.




I am very envious of their studio space over there. I suppose that should be a goal of mine to one day be able to support myself enough to have a studio outside the home.

Crystal Thomas

We met Crystal at the Edmonds Art Walk back in October. We love her mirrors and would love to be able to purchase one someday.

This is downright strange.

Craig Howarth

I'm happy to add this link to Craig's site. He commented on my site not long ago and I finally got around to seeing his work. I love it! I also discovered that he's linked to my site from his. Thanks Craig. He also has his 36 Square Inches site and he's involved at Scrapiteria. You can find links to those sites in my sidebar.

Joseph Larkin

I met Joseph at the opening for the collage show at North Seattle Community College where he also had work displayed. His work is amazing! This guy can draw...it makes me so jealous.
He introduced me to some other folks who are involved with Thirsty Artists. I met Sharon who had contacted me in the past about showing at a Cafe Minnie's Art Party. They are no longer doing the party's at Minnie's but are working toward doing more in the future. They are also talking about getting a group together for the next Pioneer Square Art Walk. I think it would be fun to wander with a group of artists.
I'm really glad I'm beginning to connect with other artists in the area. It's made me realize how much I miss being part of an artistic community.

Phil Hansen


Phil's art is gimmicky but the guy's got talent for sure. Go here to watch a film about his work.

Sketchcast




This is a fun little toy. You just draw what you want and it records it for you. You can even add a voice recording if you want. Ah, the internet.

Justin Hillgrove

I met Justin at the Fremont Oktoberfest on Sunday. I love his art and I used our common Twilight Artist Collective ties for my introduction. I used the opportunity to ask him some questions about selling art at events. He gave me some great starting advice. Thanks Justin!
