since opening my shop, i've been hoping a new project would come to mind, & hooray, it has! i had been planning on some speed sketching, by listening to itunes on shuffle, & drawing whichever artist or band came on for the duration of their song, before starting on the next one. but who was i kidding; it took me the entirety of bat for lashes' album two suns to draw natasha khan! i drew andrew bird first, & since his name begins with a, decided to move onto b. this should keep me busy for a little while.

Hello!!
Would you mind terribly if I used your project to get out of my own art block? Think it's a really awesome concept and would love to do it too!
(I love the Andrew Bird picture...but maybe I just love Andrew Bird! Hehe)

Emm...I might do, keep meaning to start a blog but then I'm not sure I'm quite arty enough for one yet.
