Get to know Dave Bloomfield...

Here is another artist who makes me happy. Dave lives in Seattle and enthusiastically joined my Travel Kitty Project a week or two ago. I'm lucky enough to have some of his work hanging on my walls (Thanks Dave-the paintings you sent are terrific!). If you are in the Seattle area go check him out. He is having shows almost every week. If you are not in the area, well, tune in to the TKP as his kitty, Sodabread McGrath, will probably make an appearance at one of his shows. Here are some links to his work: Imagekind online gallery Dave's MySpace page Here are some of my favorites from Dave:

I've been meaning to share this with you

Letter from Ed Emberley

Right before I moved I got this letter from Ed Emberley. I was overjoyed to get the letter, but I was in the process of moving and I stashed it away for safe keeping. Well, I just found it. If you read my zine or my about page you know I mentioned this fellow. His book sits on my desk to remind me I can draw even on the days I don't think I can. I sent him one of my zines and thanked him for his cool drawing books that I looked at over and over as a kid. He was kind enough to return a note. Thank you Ed Emberley. You are cool.
