I'm going to apologize in advance for what I'm about to share with you. I think I know you pretty well by now. Just be warned you're about to spend a long time at the computer thanks to this review. In the Make offers amazing sneak peeks into artists studios and with incredible interviews to read while you gawk.

Currently San Francisco bay area focused, the site was created by photographer Klea McKenna and writer Nikki Grattan. I love that I can learn about artists that are so close by. The in-depth interviews by Gratton hone in on an artist's daily practice and are insightful and observant.

McKenna is the one behind all those wonderful photographs on the site. Close-ups and overalls give you a good sense of the studio space and capture how each artist works.

As you can see from above, some studios are neat as a pin while others are barely held together. And seeing the artwork that goes with the studio space is rather enlightening.

And there's always at least one photo in each interview that captures the artist's personality. I love the one above. Haven't we all not taken on this posture at some point? There are links to the artist's websites as well after each interview if you want to keep surfing forever. In the Make. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Ha- I love this! Good find. Owe you a note!
Thanks for the great link! I am swooning over those studios since I recently had to give mine up. I've been working out of an extra bedroom which I find very frustrating but I'm trying to make the best of it! I miss my old place!
Thank you for this suggestion, it is inspiring to see where an artist dreams, thinks, swears, sweats and finally creates.
oh yes oh yes oh yes.
love the insight there.
so amazing....
[and i hadn't thought about it being that time of year - for the creative rush]
You've outdone yourself this time! I am so excited about this site. You find such wonderful stuff. I hope you never stop blogging. It's so inspiring to see all these artists. Thank you.
