Name hrrrthrrr
Location Los Angeles
First Post October 2007Heather Peterson gets to make incredibly cool stuff all day and get paid for it. As an interior designer, she transformed her concepts and ideas into million-dollar homes. Recently, she made the jump to a new career she knew nothing about: set design. Now she builds spaces in a matter of days instead of a few months. “Some days I’m making stuff out of clay and the very next I’m building an 8-foot-tall ice cream cone. You just never know!” she says. Heather is highly skilled at a wide variety of artistic media, and she shares her daily adventures, creative endeavors, and photos on her blog.

Name Ian Andersen
First post November 2009
Location Houston, TXIan Andersen always liked comics, but it wasn’t until he found James Kochalka’s American Elf that he started making his own. “The idea of just doing a strip a day about my own life really blew me away,” he says. Like many other cartoonists before him, he discovered that this daily routine pushed him to improve his ability in both drawing and writing. Ian has posted a daily comic for two years now, attends college, and drinks lots of coffee.
