Blogs I ❤️ is the first post in a long-overdue series focused on artist blogs worth loving. With Valentine’s Day upon us, I figured it was time to get this going.
First Up: Austin Kleon
In a past blog post, I mentioned that I wanted to do this and asked readers to weigh in with suggestions—hat tip to artist Carol Skinger for the first pick. Austin Kleon’s blog just had to be first in this series. He’s a best-selling author, so you may already be familiar with him. If you’re not, you should be. I’ve read two of his books, Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work. They are worth reading.
Why you will ❤️ this blog.
Visit his site, and it will be evident why I’m sharing it, but I’ll highlight some of the reasons I love it.
The content is useful, interesting and entertaining all at the same time.
He covers a variety of topics while staying true to his promise of delivering new art, writing, and interesting links.
It’s effective. The layout is simple. I can find what I’m looking for. I want to read more.
He shares a ton of worthy things from books to music and other creatives.
Go check it out. You might lose an afternoon reading, which isn’t a bad thing!
