These webpages are courtesy of thedetroiter.com, we asked local artists who their favorite local artists were (who didn’t and may have never had their own webpage), when names popped up more than a few times, they were honored with a page. Each artist gets to choose the next artist. Andy has chosen Ed Brown.
