This Week: 12/19 through 12/25

Published Dec. 19th 2010

Happy holidays from all of us here at EmptyEasel!

Starting tomorrow, and continuing through New Year’s Eve, we’ll be mixing things up here at EE by featuring some amazing holiday artwork by all of you!

My goal is to publish one or two new works of art each day (along with a link to the artists’ websites and/or art blogs, of course). If you miss a day, don’t worry. . . you can come back and find all of the artwork in our Featured Artists section.

Regular posting will return on Sunday, January 2nd, 2011. Until then, feel free to drop in as often as you’d like to check out your fellow artists’ work. :)

Last week’s articles on EmptyEasel:
