1. Artist Tommy Kane Revisited

We had a nice response to Tommy Kane's feature a couple of weeks ago. Why not highlight his Etsy store sooner than later? At his store, Tommy welcomes you to his "humble boutique". Take some time to window shop and perhaps pick up a couple of things.

2. Is Your “Wilson” A Sketchbook?

Are you an artist who brings a sketchbook with you everywhere you go – consistently jotting down almost every place you visit – almost every thought - just about everything you see? Some artists can’t leave the house without a sketchbook – one in the car – one in a backpack – a small one in a pocket. Do you think Tommy Kane is an artist whose constant companion is a sketchbook?





Eat, sleep and breathe design – there are others out there who do – that’s what a professor once told me upon my first day of college. He was a graphic design professor, who unfortunately passed away soon thereafter. I never had the benefit of learning more from him. But his words remained forever engrained in my mind. Of course they didn’t only apply to design. They apply to art in general. Tommy Kane seems to be one of those “others” that eats, sleeps and breathes art. That would explain his intense understanding of art and his ability to create such compelling graphic design and beautiful drawings and paintings. Perhaps he’s discovered the contentment and solace that can be found inside one’s mind recording personal experiences and the world around him inside a sketchbook.
