Artist Interview with Traci Bautista
I met Traci Bautista in January of 2009 at a craft and hobby trade show and we spoke briefly about doing a feature on our website. I’ve finally gotten around to doing so and am happy that I did.

Makes me want to get up from the computer and go to my drawing table with nothing but a pile of old magazines, a glue stick and my favorite drawing tool. Continue reading
