About Us: Aaron Smith

Wow, less than 12 hours after I put out the call for writers and we already have several people signed up! Of course it’s possible that not everyone reading this blog knows who we are (I have a lot more people following me on Twitter as teachers20 than at theartguy, for example…) I I would love it if each of us took a moment to introduce ourselves in one of our first blog posts.

Hello, my name is Aaron Smith, but most of my students call me The Art Guy. It’s a rather pretentious name to use when surrounded by other artists, but it was a nickname given to me by a student and it just sort of stuck. (It was either that or “Mr. Teacher Dude.” I think I chose wisely.)

You may or may not have seen me before. I suppose I should spend most of my time here, but I’ve found some places like here tend to suck up a lot of my creativity. (Although I must say I enjoy this place a lot better.) If I or one of my students takes a cool looking photo, I’ll often post it here. Although student photos also invariably end up being blogged about here as well.

I’m also a member of this thing here, although I’m not as active with them as I used to be.

So that’s my somewhat ambiguous yet informative introduction … who’s next?
