List of Art Blogs Wow, 2008! I thought I better get back on the bike and post something before I get too comfortable sitting around reading, watching television (pay TV is an evil brain deadener), listening to music, and playing with the dogs.

My main goal for 2008 is to notice and acknowledge each day, each hour, and each minute. I feel like I missed most of 2007 as I now think back on it as a blur. The blurring effect wasn't from too much red wine either. I think it was from spending too much time in the past or the future and forgetting about now.

So, smelling the roses and being thankful for the simple things in life will be my goal.

Forgetting me for a moment, I found a list of 8 art blogs that should be read in 2008. They were posted on the EmptyEasel art portal and used the following criteria..

"My criteria? I chose blogs that are focused on art, illustration, or design that consistently feature helpful and well-written articles, are frequently updated, and have the staying power to last all the way through 2008." EE

• Kirsty Hall (thoughtful UK artist)
• Making a Mark (artist blogging about art)
• Laurelines (life of a watercolor & ink artist)
• William Wray (figurative painter from California)
• Lines and Colors (blog on all things art and design)
• Danidraws (art, illustration and photoshopping)
• A List Apart (more design and web than art)
• Art News Blog (me, me, me!)
