Well, anyway, if you'd be interested in hitting up one of the local life drawing sessions or something, drop me a line. Cheers!

A fishing town. Lol =) Right now I live in Switzerland, and commute to Zurich, where I sub-rent an office space for 2 days. I'm grateful for that, it's good to get out and talk to other creatives! If it works out with Kodiak, it will be a big change... but I'd still like it. Just takes time to find your people I guess. Have patience, and good luck Meg!

I live in LA now and have a support system, artistically. But two years ago I spent a number of months seemingly stuck in a small town in Indiana with very little contact. Looking through the annuals and the trades, I found out one of my favorite illustrators lived only 45 minutes away (I really was in a small town, not Phoenix) and I contacted him. My timing was good because it was close to a larger scheduled meeting with a group of local professionals to discuss work. Chin up. I'm sure there's a tennis pro or two in your neighborhood, able to lob the ball back. Keep looking. I live in LA now and have a support system, artistically.

I live in Southeastern KY in a small town called Somerset ( It's a Dry county-meaning no alcohol sales-which means not many quality restraunts or local hangouts). We have a small Folk Art community yet it seems there could be an artist group wanting to sprout, but just needs to be watered. Becoming inspired hasnot been a challenge though. I keep intouch and in conversation with other artists via websites like this as well as circulate Lexington KY Advertising Agencies for work. I think I have all you beat.
