One of the best parts of graduating with an Art degree is meeting all the other amazing artists that are in your field of study while you're there. I have friends working from Tampa Fl. to Chicago, New York, Seattle and so on. Of course I'm the guy who ended up staying in Arkansas, you don't have to remind me :) It's an awesome feeling to know that I shared ideas with a lot of these ultra creative peeps. Many times when I'm burnt with what I'm doing and feel as though the vendor world is calling my name, I'll check out the portfolios of my peers. It's a good reminder of why exactly I ended up in the creative industry. We love what we do! Soooo, with that and with their permission, every now and then I'm going to plug for them. We have a ton of readers, hopefully you guys will end up supporting some of them like you support me.
First up, John Holcomb. Probably one of the more creative (and talented) guys I've ever met in my life, John is a Professional Freelance Illustrator. For those of you who aren't really sure what that is, you MUST check out his link: www.shorthandedstudio.com. Illustration, in my opinion, is one of the greatest forms of art in the world. In heavy doses it requires incredible amounts of creative thought, technical ability in every art medium (drawing, painting, mixed media, digital and so on) and a "go get em" type of attitude. In my opinion, only the best have the guts to try and make it as an illustrator. I tried majoring in Illustration, after sitting next to John one semester I dropped out and moved to Graphic Design. Thanks John, you're awesome, keep up the hard work!
If you want to see some of John's work FIRSTHAND :) come to our studio here in Downtown Bentonville. I'm the proud owner of a "United Plate." Arkansas that is...yummy. Check it readers, you won't regret it!

John's work rocks. Abby and I picked up a full set when we got back to the States in August and it is pretty much the coolest thing we own.
