Crafty crafty everywhere

I am starting to realize more and more how many creative people I am surrounded by. My friend Steph (from the last post) who made me that incredible drawing - she also takes amazing photos.. and I wanted to help show here skills, so check out her flickr site here.

And now I'd like to tell you a very small story about another creative friend I have...

Sunday a few friends and I made a trip to Lexington to see the Jim Henson travelling exhibit at the National Heritage Museum. It was awesome to see all of his process work. I have to say that's the part about all art I appriciate - the stupid little sketches that hold the key to all the big ideas. I love it. But I think my friend Derrick got the most inspiration out of the exhibit.

This morning, while at work, I recieved this image in my inbox:

Needless to say - I was pretty excited about it. I'm pretty sure this could be one of Derrick's big callings in life. And I can not wait to see what happens next with this puppet. I know Derrick has built up a wide array of voices over the years, and I think we're all pretty excited to see which one comes out. So to Derrick, good luck! And for everyone else I will most definiately keep you posted on this unique and interesting process!

Check out Derrick's website to see some of his many other talents!
