MCB's Ross Sandelius was hanging at the Detroit Art Battle last night and since he kicked out the shots so fast we just updated this post from yesterday with his photo set...check it out
"I didn't know what to expect when I walked into the 2009 Artist Battle at the Russell Industrial Center on Friday night, but I'm going to blow the conclusion right now: I'm going back next year. Virtually every medium of art was represented, and every artist was having a blast, talking, networking, and doing whatever it is that artists do when they're not bleeding creativity. One of my favorites was this area that sectioned off using kind of a veily-mesh... as the sun was setting, it lit up like a giant, 30'x30' golden lamp... way cool! I had to jet early, but let me assure you that I was DESPISING having to walk back to my car and leave. The air was literally heavy with creativity and creation...
