Too Much Coffee Man Opera

Shannon Wheeler draws the adventures of the comic strip character, "Too Much Coffee Man." Although his comic appears in the Eugene Register-Guard among other papers around the country, Shannon is still relatively unknown in his hometown of Portland. But he has a plan to change that. Meet this aspiring artist and learn how he is bringing "Too Much Coffee Man" from the page, to the stage in the first ever, comic book opera.

Kaleidoscope Artist David Collier

Art Beat's camera goes inside a kaleidoscope! David Collier makes kaleidoscopes, which he calls "multi-functional art objects," ranging from the simple to the spectacular. They are as beautiful to look at as they are to look in. Dave also makes lovely wooden boxes and pendants. You can find them at The Contemporary Crafts Gallery and at The Real Mother Goose.
