Name and blog name (if applicable): Mary-Katherine Yaeger. The blog I use most is Tumblr . I post my jewelry pieces and latest art works there.  Tell us a little bit about you: I’m 19 years old and I’m an unusual character. I like dressing in 1920’s and 1950’s fashion, but adding my own unique “gamer” style to it. A long with video games, my other passions include jewelry making, illustration, and talking about oceanic life. Ask me a question and I’m sure I’ll find some way to incorporate an octopus or whale shark in there somewhere.  Where did you study? I currently attend Craven Community College in North Carolina, but for the fall semester I will finally be transferring to East Carolina University’s school of Art and Design for Animation and interactive design.  How long have you been painting/drawing/illustrating/etc? I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. It wasn’t until the past few years I decided I actually wanted ...

Tell us a little about you: My name is Laura Caldentey and I'm behind Lauryn Green's blog. I love to take analog photos, drawing, sewing, food, cooking, films and animals. I live in Spain in a little island called Mallorca and I dream of travel around the world with my camera. Where did you study? (if applicable) I studied art for two years in high school, and now I'm studying audio and video in Mallorca (Spain) where I live. How long have you been painting/drawing/illustrating/etc? I've never stopped drawing. Since I was a child I love to draw. I remember that I started to learn how to draw copying my favourites animes. I drew comics and cartoons for my friends, just for fun. But in these past months I've been drawing a lot more. I'm also doing animation (stop motion) with my friends, I love that since I was a child too. In university I've learnt photography and some cinema skills and recently we did our first short film called "D...

Name and Shop: Dawn Derman from Redbird Cottage Art    I have been painting for about 1 1/2  years. Where did you study? (if applicable) I took a couple of classes in watercolor about 2 years ago, and have been painting ever since.  I love the unpredictability of working with watercolor - it seems to have a mind of it's own.  I love to pick up a brush and know that I can create something unique each time I paint. How long have you been painting/drawing/illustrating/etc? I began taking my creative life seriously about 6 years ago - a rather late start in life.  At the time I was working in fiber arts and creating primitive hooked rugs.  I sold and exhibited at a gallery in Wisconsin, where we were living at the time.  I discovered etsy then and opened my first shop. What inspires you to create art? The natural world surrounding us is my greatest inspiration.  I feel drawn to call attention to the wonders of ...
