This Week: 7/5 through 7/11

Published on Jul. 5th 2009


It’s been a great 4th of July weekend, hasn’t it?

Right now I’m wrapping up a visit to friends and family in Portland, Oregon (BBQ, sunshine and fireworks—can’t beat that!) but I will be back in time to publish these three posts by the end of the week:

Wednesday in Featured Artists – Lisa Orgler will be sharing her review of Leila May’s beautiful black and white photography. Check out those photos on Wednesday and feel free to submit your own artwork to be reviewed as well.

Thursday in Announcements – I took longer than I intended to looking through all the applications for the new writing positions here at EE, but on Thursday I’ll finally be able to introduce you to a few more EmptyEasel writers. Stay tuned. . .

Friday in Artist Polls – And with new writers coming onboard, I’d love to get a feel for the type of articles that YOU want to see on EE. Drop in on Friday to cast your vote!

Plus, here are all of last week’s articles on EmptyEasel:
