BZTAT has added some new blogs to her Favorite Places. Pencil Drawings by Kelli Swan is the blog of friend and artist Kelli Swan, who does amazing pencil drawings of horses, dogs and other animals. Kelli recently won an Honorable Mention Award at the Stark County Artists Juried Show at the Massillon Museum. Congrats Kelli!!!! Kelli is also a graphic artist and web designer, and she has been very helpful to BZTAT with becoming more web-savvy. Check out her websites at: Cygnet Graphics ltd. and Pencil Place .

Another blog that BZ enjoys is A Multi-Colored Life , which is the blog of friend and artist Sue Steiner. Sue is an animal artist as well, painting horses, dogs, cats, chickens, cows, etc. BZ especially enjoys how Sue chronicles the process of her painting, allowing people to watch her paintings develop from a blank canvas to a completed work. Check out Sue’s website.

BZ has also become a fan of her neighbor around the corner in Canton, OH’s trendy arts district, Kevin Anderson of Anderson Creative. Kevin is an artist, furniture creator extraordinaire, builder and, of late, building rennovator! He has recently taken over a long-neglected building as his studio, and is in the process of tearing it down to the studs and starting all over. A big job indeed! Kevin’s website is a fun place to explore. Kevin also has had a new little person recently join his family as he became a dad all over again. Congrats to Kevin for his new son and welcome to the neighborhood!

BZ hopes that you will check out these blogs and support these local Canton, OH artists.
