Local indie rock band A Crowd of Small Adventures kicked off the new ArtBeat season. They were awesome! People really enjoyed their music.
This time we're featuring a really cool craft artist. He makes leather accessories. His name Vern Watson Jr.

I make anything out of leather.

You can find my items at an indoor swap meet at 10 W. Pacific Avenue, Henderson.
Apart from creating, what do you do?
I like to fish and cook.
Where does your inspiration come from?
From things around me.
What does handmade mean to you?
Something you make, not embellish. Something you don't buy in a box.
