If you are reading this and in high school art programs, please get ahold of us for a story we are working on.

//Anna Barbieri

Anna is a wonderful French born artist currently residing in Switzerland soaking up the wonderful art air, while being busy as an art director - yet still able to produce amazing illustrations. Such a wonderful interview here.

//Brian Gilbert

Drawing since the third grade might be the reason why New Yorker Brian Gilbert has the talent for an interview, or it might be his cats. Either way, check it here.

//Matteo Gualandris Spotlight

Italian born artist talks about his shyness to his art, filled up sketchbook pages, and the weather here. It is great to get such a wonderful spotlight from this part of Europe.

//John Grider

John checks in from Minneapolis to let us peak in at his huge murals, out of state shows, and 35 more cans of rusto here.

//Dasco Blog

It is a great feeling to have Dasco on board with us at the site, giving us a wonderful voice from the Miami South Beach. He is moving his regular posting from myspace to his new home here, so we encourage you to check it out here.

//Chris Dent

Chris creates beautiful details of cities, leaving the viewer lost in doubletakes and wanting more. Another great artist from London that has been pushing the limits and making himself in print and on cloth. Take a second to peep it here.

//Winston Tseng

The creative force behind enjoi Skateboards fielded some questions on the East Coast, giving us some insight in the skateboard graphic industry, defending rainbows, and using an economics degree to create art. Check it here.

//David Foldvari

You probably seen David's work in the gazillion magazines at Borders, but you didn't know about the London art community, how boredom creates color, and a minimal amount gives the viewer so much more. You can find it here.

//Rui vitorino Santos

A very amazing artist from Portugal who doesn't mind his art being defined in a box. Peep it here.

//Jeral Tidwell

The Butler found his way in Louisville, Kentucky to interview Jeral Tidwell, an artist who sleeps until 5am working on his art, gets awards and not even realizing it, and basically someone who is becoming a powerhouse in the graphic design community. You can find it here.

//Matthew Smith

I always wanted to know more about the world of illustrations in media, and we were lucky to have Matthew find some time to fill us in on the questions we had about the processes, the cut throat business end of it, and waiting on the postman. You can find it here.

//Gregory Siff

This Hollywood artist thinks sleeping is for the East Coast, and you can see him either hustling the possible shows in LA, speaking through colors instead of words. You can find it here.

//User Profiles

We are currently beta testing the user profiles on the site this week, so please jump in there and let us know if there are any bugs. We believe a user profile ability on the site would better help artists across the world connect, so check it out here. Those of you that had a user account in our first phase of beta testing will be pleased to notice everything should be the same as you left it.

//Panni Malek

Panni took some time out from her MFA studies to answer some questions about her move from the LA scene, the search for studio space in Brooklyn, and today's art schools here.

//Weekly Wall

We were lucky to get some shots of the wall in Louisville, Kentucky before it rained down on the camera. Every week we're updating this, so don't forget to check it out here.

//Maxim Ryazansky

Maxim's understanding of what the American Dream is piqued my interest, and led me to ask a few questions about what my idea of America and what is happens to stand for in the midst of our lives. Maxim's work, American Dreams caught my eye recently, and it may turn your head as well. Check it out here.

//Craig Atkinson

Craig took some time from the UK to talk about his launch of his new zine, the art scene in London, and tearing up the tele here.

//Peat Wollaeger

We have been trying to find more street art for the site, and finally came across a great artist St. Louis who has been tearing up the streets with his stencils, paints, and his cute kids. View more here. Peat also did an instructional article telling us how to customize our vans here.

//Ben Javens

A wonderful artist from the UK, Ben Javens talks about creating art all day, drawing while people are talking in bad French, and the rent here.

//PhotocopyMe

This is such a brilliant idea from the UK: make ten copies of a magazine to give out filled with art from submissions where the editors cannot say no. How do they sell them? They don't. They make nine copies, keep one for themselves, and give out those nine to various people across the world in hopes they will pass it on by photocopying it. I know. Check it here.

//Ben Frost

Possibly the hardest working artist in Australia had a chance to answer some questions about his wonderful collages and other illustrations. A great interview you should check out here.

//Angryblue

Angryblue, only the hardest working artist in Louisville, was able to set some time aside for a very lengthy and informative interview with The Butler this week and we are glad he did! Check out what a little hustle will do for you here.

//Maureen Gubia

It is nice to have art showcased not just in America, but throughout the world. The Butler must have heard this and went to Ecuador for an amazing artist's views on the advantages of the internet for artists, the lo-fi of MSPaint, and the happy accidents - all here.

//Michael C. Hsiung Blog

Hsiung Blog We are pleased to announce the new blog by Michael Hsiung. You've seen his amazing illustrations before on the site, and now you can read about his goofy life in LA. Check it out asap www.ourartsite.com/hsiung

//Porous Walker

We are lucky to have had Porous Walker find some time to answer some questions for us, and it is worth your time to check it out here. Porous Walker

//Weekly Wall

The Butler took some time out to mosey over to The Experimental Urban Art Project (aka, that huge wall of dope graf art) on East Market, and came back with some good photos. This is the first part of our weekly observance, The Weekly Wall, so check back to watch its progress. Weekly Wall.
