friends and art:

When my friend Laurel True asked me to photograph a piece of hers I own so that it can be featured in a magazine about her work in New Orleans it only affirmed a recent theme/focus of mine: How creative my friends are and how much it means to me to have their work around me:

Laurel True: Shotgun houses:


Much press celebrates these talented people: witness this great article came out today on a blog I hadn't seen before : http://sfgirlbybay.com/
it features my good friend (an talented potter) Whitney Smith




I'm pleased to see she mentions my blog in the article...especially because since moving to Maine I haunt her blog regularly for news, and general (what can only be described as) "Whitni-ness").



Recently I've been haunting many blogs, like the blog of an artist I've long coveted (who actually owes me a coin peice!) and also etsy shops of friends from the bay area. I'm starting to learn about people in my area through etsy...They have a map so you can peruse by location. I enjoy seeing what everybody is making, and I also greedily exalt in my own collection of their work....XOXOXO,t.
