WEEKLY INSTALLMENT--ARTIST YOU SHOULD KNOW

I've decided that in order for me to actually keep up with this whole blogging habit, I'm going to have to impose upon myself some obligatory daily/weekly/monthly posts. I am really bad at keeping this sort of thing going, but I figure if I set up various "Weekly Installments" I will have a greater chance of succeeding. So here is the first idea...

WEEKLY INSTALLMENT #1: Artist(s) You Should Know

As the title suggests, this topic is meant to enlighten the masses on the various artists that are living/working/still relevant today. The person(s) chosen could be a visual artist, a musician, a writer, etc. If they make what I believe to be art, they could be an "Artist You Should Know" (or AYSK).

I will strive to provide some biographical information, info about their influences, their artistic style and links/images of their most important work.

Here goes! [Fingers Crossed]
