Life As An Itinerant Artist

Stories and anecdotes from fifteen years on the art show circuit.

Graph Paper Press

I’ve used the Graph Paper Press themes on a couple of web sites for other artists, and have found them pretty easy to work with. Steve Baldauf’s site uses the Chromatic theme, while the page for Antoni Kozlowski uses the Base theme. Check out the artists, and check out the themes.
