Artists

I've been doing some reading this morning about artists friends who are working from home. Since leaving behind my days of roving cub repoter, I've classified myself as an underpublished artist and thought it would be fun to shed some light on some of my friends who are plodding thru the muck.

Here is a fun link to my friend Heather's website http://www.yodelbug.com/index.htm - She offers "an online gallery shop filled with fun art for kids... fine art prints and wall decals, as well as originals upon special request." Heather and I went to high school together and lost touch along the way, but her work is whimsical and fun and I'm a big fan.

My friend Erica is a freelance artist based on Cape Cod, MA. A link to her work is http://www.wishastudios.com/  "Recently I’ve focused on digital illustration for business or private needs.   I enjoy creating images for organizations or events that are tailored to the client’s project.  Whether the subject is a family member, friend or furry one,  I strive to convey a likeness with accompanying personal detail." She describers her style as "bright & lively and finished digital images are illustrative yet uncluttered, lending themselves easily to a variety of uses." I've always thought it was pretty cool stuff and thought you might too.

Erica's husband Ben is one of my oldest friends, former roommate, workmate and all around good guy. He's a self described "independent photographer" who has trouble with labels and an obsession with all things hockey. I've been a fan of his work for nearly 20 years, so I might be a bit biased, but I think his work kicks ass. You can view his gallery and decide for yourself at  http://www.benshotme.com/ - Oh bye the way, he's got a running blog post that is friggin hilarious and borderline disturbing, but that's another story entirely.

So there you have it... Enjoy!
