If you dont know local artist Bobby Marinez, you SHOULD! You've seen his work -- on electrical boxes, on building murals, at the Mall of America, on stage doing live paintings during rap shows, and pretty much everywhere else around town!  Bobby is the guy who came up with the idea for Art Blitz last year and pulled together all of that amazingness in just 4 weeks!  And it's coming back again -- next weekend!

Last year about 2,000 people attended Art Blitz, and this year they are expecting at least double that!

"We are expanding this year. We have seven stages this year, inside and outside venues, 60-plus visual artists, over 20 bands, seven to 10 dance performances, a vendor area, a kids' area and a whole bunch of randomness," said Bobby Marinez the other day when I was talking with him.

And check it out!  I FINALLY own an original Bobby Marinez piece!
