// Dave Barnes

I cannot begin to express my love for the oh-so-talented, local artist, Dave Barnes. His whimsical painted/illustrated/layered/collaged pieces, often conceived on discarded wood, make my heart flutter. Please check out his site, as it's full of beautiful eye candy.

// Jen Skelley

Hunting around for an image for my Practical Dreaming post below, I stumbled onto the charming, intricate illustrations of Jen Skelley. After digging a little deeper into her repertoire of work, I realized that she's done music posters for some of my favorite musicians, including Andrew Bird and the Mountain Goats. Check out her prints on Etsy or on her website!

// Tina Berning

Was stumbling around Linsday Brackeen's lovely blog when I discovered the incredible illustration work of Tina Berning. Check out her site... it's *full* of beautiful illustrations...
