Creative Kick in the Pants

I took a trip to Dallas this weekend to hang with some friends and also to do a bit of "research" on the local art scene. Turns out there are some pretty rad shops and art + craft groups in the area -- if you're in the Big D, be sure to stop by We Are 1976 on Henderson and keep an eye out for anything Etsy Dallas and ArtLoveMagic is cooking up!

Anyway, we stopped by ArtLoveMagic's Underground 2011 event on Saturday night and it was a blast. Tons of folks doing their thing live, selling art and chatting it up...it's always awesome to see fellow artists, illustrators and designers working their magic and to be a part of that energy. I headed back home Sunday afternoon full of inspiration and ready to get cracking on work of my own. Always a good feeling.

To the right are a few quick pics from the event...check 'em out!
