Erica Damon
Location: Inspirit Crystals
Idea for festival: a piece that combines horses and fantasy, with bright colors and a fun feel. I have a few ideas, but my current front-runner is a non-traditional Pegasus - a horse with butterfly wings.

Seth Gregory
Location: Hotel Northampton
Idea for festival: Focusing on using lots of color to create rich/dense/vibrant images. Sometimes these have a message - since I love typography and lettering so much - and sometimes are purely graphic.
