Shout Out!



Our very talented friend over at The Bat Ranch, has once again started his 31 Doodles to celebrate the spooky month of October.  We here at the Richert Ranch are big fans and wanted to let you in on this web-based art show.  Check them out, I can guarantee you won't want to miss a doodle!


And our artist of the week (or two) is Ingrid Michaelson.  She's great, yes?  I found her while stress-shopping on iTunes.  Is there anything better than stress-shopping at iTunes?  Instant gratification for only $1.  Beautiful
