I can feel that the way I use this blog may be changing, just a little bit.
For one thing, I have started to become dissolusioned with
Illustration Friday. It's been almost a year since I found it. There were two or three hundred people participating at the time. It has been growing steadily since then, and now there are more than a thousand. Of course, in that number are people who double and even triple post, people who post their kids' art, and people who post ...can I say it?....really crappy art. If you can even call it art. Anyway, it's just gotten too big and too ponderous to really enjoy.
Oh, and another thing: even though the guidelines say you can post old artwork if it fits the theme, there are some
art snobs who think that it's pointless to post something old, and what we really should do is crank out something new every week. I thought the idea was just to share our art.
So anyway, I'm not abandoning
IF entirely, but I probably won't be participating as much as I used to. At least not until they make some improvements. What I hope to be doing here is posting some more of my older art, what little new stuff I can manage, and maybe some photos of things that catch my eye or my imagination.
