Stopped into Ming Cafe this evening for a bite to eat and ran into a couple of really cool local artists. One is about to have one of her works (pictured above) don the cover of Mercury Rev’s newest cd (scheduled to be released May 17th). The other is a miniaturist that paints his originals on the covers of matchbooks. Both artists will be featured in the August issue of Buffalo Rising Magazine. And both agreed that Ming Cafe has the best Chinese food in the city.
