I’m a comic artist and I know how important drawing the human figure is in my trade. I go to weekly figure drawing at Mud & Prints and it’s been ground-breaking for my art! 💃 Linda goes above and beyond at getting a variety of different models. Some sessions are clothed and some are nude. She even goes as far as setting up backgrounds that fit with the themes of the costumes and poses.

The experience was wonderful, and when I picked up my mug - it exceeded my expectations! Thank you, Linda! I’d recommend Mud & Prints to anyone in the Fox Valley looking for beautiful...
Read moreI finally ventured into this lovely studio/shop a few weeks ago. I always assumed it was for artists (I have no artistic ability), but it is also a charming shop! They make beautiful (and functional) pieces. After buying a few random mugs on our last visit, today we stopped with the goal of buying a matching set of 4. They only had two available of the design I wanted, but they offered to make 2 more to complete my set. And they do custom mugs as well - quite...
