==========
Whimbubble Face and Body Painting
Whimbubble Studio is my small business as an artist and face painter. It’s all the things that I love to make and do, which I like to call my “whimbubbles.” I love to make things and have since I was tiny. First scribbling, then stick figures with triangle shaped dresses. Everything changed when cardboard came into my life. I went crazy over that stuff! My favorite thing to make out of cardboard were candy machines. I would take them to school and the other kids would be totally amazed! That is how I remember it, anyway.

Dig Deep
Music Village
Formed in 2015 in the dead center of the thriving Midwest roots music scene in Stevens Point, WI, the four members of Dig Deep drew inspiration from their shared appreciation for traditional bluegrass and country music, their love of rock and roll, and their combined decades of hard gigging in the punk/metal scenes, local bars, roadhouses, and regional festivals. Three releases and 1,000+ shows later, they have firmly established themselves as a unique and powerful force in the roots world.
With a body of work that showcases their vision, craft, heart, and clout as songwriters and instrumentalists, Dig Deep has earned a reputation for their well-honed and hard-edged sound that goes far beyond bluegrass, as well as their blistering and boisterous live performances that give audiences much more than a string band show.
