Talk to the Snail

As a high-powered executive, I often feel the responsibility to toss a few euros to the creative rabble in the local artistic community as a show of support. Call me a Patron of the Arts, I guess. Many, many artists have been able to scratch out an existence thanks to my generosity.

Take Amanda Visell. Please. She’s this excellently-talented gal who, along with her buddy Michelle Valigura, runs Two Girls Productions out of Pasadena. You should go to their site now, browse around, and see a bunch of great Visell artwork, including the two pieces I purchased (the pair you see above) for a song. Not only do I admire them daily hanging in my humble office here at Frederator (the paintings, that is, not the girls), having AV’s art here gives me some much-needed street-cred with the artists who stop by. Thanks, Amanda, from your biggest fan. (And when the heck are you and Michelle pitching Oh Yeah!?)
