BOSTawesome HIATUS

As many of you have noticed, BOSTawesome has been in a bit of an on-again-off-again hiatus over the last few months. I have been really busy with work, vacation, moving and Rahul's soon-to-be departure to New York, leaving me no energy a the moment to blog, paint, draw and do other fun crafty things. :(

Please contact me if you or someone you know would like to join BOSTawesome and post about free events.

Thanks!

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS BANKSY

If you have the day off, I suggest you explore Chinatown and Cambridge to search for Bansky's graffiti before it's painted over. 

bostonist.com saw Banksy in Boston (Chinatown, to be specific) earlier today, but it seems the famed street artist may have made his way over to 1 Essex Street in Central Square as well.

Mayor Thomas M. Menino
Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis
Boston Transportation Commissioner, Thomas Tinlin
Boston EMS Chief, James Hooley
State Transportation Secretary, Jeffrey Mullan
