Hey everyone, Mike here— Even though this post may have nothing to do with what’s going on with the band, I thought I’d spread the word about some artists who I’ve been keeping my eye on for a while now. If you’ve got a few minutes, go and check them out.

Here’s the list, in no specific order:

1. Blaine Fontana
2. Sylvia Ji
3. Jeff Soto
4. Mike Giant
5. Kurt Halsey

PS: I created a Flickr page with some of my own artwork on it. Go and check it out. Leave comments. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikevanmeter/
