Summer 2009 Shadow Art Fair Roundup

Yesterday I attended the summer iteration of Shadow Art Fair at Corner Brewery in Ypsi, and it was just as awesome as the last time.

This time, I splurged a bit and got a necklace (by Wei’s Open Secret) and a photo print (by Ann Arbor’s own Peter Baker) for myself, as well as a birthday gift for my mom.

I also traded some postcards and stickers, and ran into some other Ann Arborites happy to escape the art fairs in town this past week.

Some of my favorite artists there this time:
