This month's lethbridgeartsncraftsonline.com recommended web site is called Cartoon Ink and can be found here!

The site is the work of a BRAT, Patrick Lamontagne, and he is also the son of a BRAT as well. His work, in my opinion, is in the top five of Canada's cartoonists. His talent is remarkable. His grasp of the current affairs in Canadian Politics is so real that he should be running for office. He puts me in awe with his cartoons of animals. I wish I had 1% of his talent!

You must check out his site, and help spread the word by liking his page and sharing it with your crafty friends. This man is an awesome artist.

If you have a web site why not submit it for inclusion in our next newsletter.
