Share Your Blog!
(Illustration by Frank Hansen)
Do you have a blog?
Share it with your fellow Illustrators by leaving a link to it in the comments section of this post.
Feel free to tell us a little about yourself and your blog. Do you post often? What do you usually write about on your blog? You can even leave links to some of your favorite blogs if you like.
Whatever you want! It’s your chance to speak.
I’ll be inviting you all to participate more often on the weekends. After all, I post articles about Freelance Illustration tips all week, so why not have a little fun on the weekends? I call it the Weekend Forum, because there’s been a little bit of interest from the EFII community in having a forum, and to be honest it’s a bit much for me to take on right now. If there’s enough participation in the Weekend Forums, however, I might set up something a little more formal in the future. In the meantime, please share your blog in the comments section! If it doesn’t show up right away, don’t worry. It will soon!
If you found this post via Twitter, Retweet it to invite your friends!
I look forward to checking out everyone’s blogs.
Thomas

I’m a freelance cartoonist working on several personal projects that I am looking to develop for the licensing industry, as well as working on freelance projects that come my way.
My blog is pretty much a “sketch a week” concept that I’m using to practice techniques and recently use as a way to pay tribute to characters that have had an effect on me.
The weekly post concept is proving a little difficult to maintain right now, but that’s the goal.
The URL for the blog is http://www.martytoons.blogspot.com/
Wow, that was fast! You even beat me to the punch. I like the Kiss cartoon on your blog. Pretty hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
My blog, and my Illustration career in fact, has been on hiatus while devoting most of my time and energy to Escape From Illustration Island, but I’ve started it up again, which is what gave me the idea to ask about everyone else’s blogs.
You can find my blog posts integrated into my Illustration site here: http://thomasjamesillustration.com/
I generally write about new work, the occasional tutorial, and a series of posts that I need to get back to called How to Work With an Illustrator, where I hope to enlighten those not quite familiar with how to work with a creative professional.
What’s your blog?
Thomas

Hi everyone!
This is my blog http://www.lauralvarez.com/blog.html
Thanks, Laura! I can’t wait to see a photo of that mural when it’s done.
Cheers,
Thomas
Hey,

Cheers and a have a creative day!
Best,

Thomas – thanks for the invite to share…
My blog, THE QUOTIDIAN JOURNAL, is comprised of a collection of reflections, quotations, books, and art. I try to do a short post daily and am big on short and simple. I have recently been attempting a style of illustrations made from one continuous line and am posting those at the site…
http://quotidianjournal.blogspot.com/
if you just want the art:

Thanks, Dan. Continuous line drawings can be pretty tricky. I like your Sisyphus Illustration. I’m a sucker for the Myth of Sisyphus.
i’m a cartoonist.
i try to keep my sketches and free lance illustration jobs posted on my blog.
Care to share a link?

Thanks for sharing, Mike. Awesome Fantasy Illustrations! Very nice work.
Hi,
Thanks for the opportunity to share my blog.
I’m a freelance illustrator and post regularly, highlighting recent projects, both commissioned and personal. With each post, I like to talk about my process and inspiration behind the work, as well as share things I learned during the job — kind of giving viewers a glimpse behind the scenes of an illustration.
It may be found here:
http://allanburch.blogspot.com
Thanks, again, and I look forward to seeing you there!
Allan Burch
Your stuff is totally gorgeous, and I love the process blogging you’ve done. I’ll be following your blog for sure. =)
Thanks, Kim!
Great work on your site! I’ll be following along, too!
Allan
Stupendously awesome work, Allan… I gotta come back for more – definitely a keeper bookmark!
Thanks, Nate!
I appreciate that. I’m an admirer of your work.
Allan
My cartooning & illustration blog mostly focuses on recent artwork, with the occasional Photoshop or Illustrator tip thrown in.
I have been doing more live video artcasts and have been posting the final recordings on the blog as well. I’m planning to add more client-focused posts in the future.
I try to post once a week by setting up 4 or more posts at a time and scheduling them, but I always end up missing my deadlines after a while – usually because I am busy with current client projects.
Hello George,
Keeping up with blog posts is definitely a challenge, but it’s a great way to keep yourself accountable for creating new work, don’t you agree? I especially like it when artists post tutorials on their site. Thanks for participating in the first ever EFII Weekend Forum!
Yeah I try to do the occasional tutorial on the blog as well. I always try to post sketches and talk through the process of creating each project.
I’ve been fortunate to have clients keep me on the ball for the new work, but it’s equally important to share those with the internet, as that’s what draws in new clients and new fans. Each new post is a new promotion as far as I’m concerned :)
I have two blogs, one for animation work in ToonBoom Studio and one focused on creating and promoting webcomics.
http://www.tallgrassradio.com/toonboom/
http://www.bugpudding.com/bristolboard/
Ciao, love your blog :) I just got for my last birthday ToonBoom so I said wow I go yes, but I cannot get used to it! so now I’m looking trough your interactive presentation.
Thanks
ciao
I certainly hope you find the articles and tutorials related to ToonBoom to be helpful and informative. I’ve gotten lots of good feedback from people who have found them useful. I haven’t posted any new ones recently just because I’m so busy, but I have a current animation project that I will eventually turn into a whole new series of “how to..” articles soon.
My blog: http://www.nightengailart.com/
It shows sketches and projects I’m working on during my journey to becoming a children’s book illustrator.
Thanks Gail!
I wish you the best of luck in your journey. In case you missed it, here are some great Children’s Book Illustration resources:
http://escapefromillustrationisland.com/2009/12/04/top-12-childrens-book-illustration-resources-online/
awesome resource – thanks!
Thanks so much! I bookmarked most of those sites as resources for me to make use of. I think all the time you’ve put into EFII is fantastic.
Hi Thomas,
Its been great watching the site develop over these past few months. Thank you. EFII is just getting better. I love the Weekend Forum idea.
Well heres a bit about my blog.
I basically have two blogs that i update regularly.
http://eddycrosby.com/
This is for my illustration work. Finished pieces, rough sketches, work in progress photos all go here. It’s part of my wordpress site (wordpress.org) though i made the front page my portfolio page. I try to post something every fortnight.
Before this i used blogspot http://edwardcrosbydesign.blogspot.com/
http://ecofugal.blogspot.com/
This is my inspiration blog. I bookmark a lot of stuff but my bookmark list is like a bottomless pit. If i come across something that inspires me or might be useful for future refernece, weather it be a flickr site or a link to art materials i add it here. I don’t write much content for it. Its really like a visual bookmark.
Cheers
Eddy
Hey Eddy,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m excited about the Weekend Forum idea too. I’m always looking for new ways to invite my fellow Illustrators to participate in the site. Thanks for sharing!
My name is Rich Tu and this is my blog. Its mostly for my illustration, design, creative randomness. I update at least once a week.
Thanks, Rich. In some of your pieces, I see a resemblance with Penelope Dullaghan’s work, who I really like. Thanks for sharing!
oops, forgot the link.
http://richtu.blogspot.com
my blog: http://garrix.blogspot.com/
mainly about cartooning.
Thanks for adding the link. Always glad to see artists posting process entries.
My blog is about my artwork & photography, inspiration, Texana, food, and Texas music. I really enjoy your posts on here! I’ve learned a ton of things and gotten some great ideas from your site. Link to my blog: http://junkytrinkets.blogspot.com/ Check it out and see what you think.
Wow, you’ve got a great mixture of different media on your blog. Thanks for sharing, Jeb.
Thomas
I have a blog that usually focuses on my art/illustration. I update it fairly regularly and generally use it to showcase my sketchbook.
Sometimes I post things that I think are cool that have nothing to do with my work. check it out:
http://www.grammajones.blogspot.com
enjoy!
My blog is http://duncantonatiuh.wordpress.com/ My illustrations are inspired by the Pre-Columbian art of Mexico, but I do them digitally and address current issues that relate to Mexico and the US.
In my blog you’ll find my editorial illustrations of topics like the drug war, immigration, the national soccer team… I also do children’s books and there are images of them there. I post something new every two weeks or so.
and I have another blog which is in Spanish and has mostly the same content http://duncantonatiuhmex.wordpress.com/
Enjoy!
http://www.gopherillustrated.co.uk/
Not a blog, but a website focusing on arts, culture, music, design, interviews and a little something more.
Thanks for the link! Looks like a fun site. Must investigate further…
This is a visual diary where i share my art all the time. It contains my illustration mostly. Sometimes I post about my graphic design projects. It’s always up to date. My art is the best thing I can share on this world.

Wonderfully fun illustrations Gizem! I love the bookmarks.
love it!
Hey Thomas,
My blog is http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/teresamurphy. I’ve only recently start blogging my art so there isn’t much there. Not to say I haven’t blogged, I just never blogged about my art, which is strange. :D So sadly, there isn’t a lot of different art there like there is on my website. That should change soon as I update it with more samples of my work :).
Teresa
Hello! Heard you were asking after illustration blogs? Well here’s mine, it’s going to have its ‘look’ updated really soon too… should look really good when I’m done with it! Cheers for your time,

http://emmacowley.blogspot.com/
Thomas, this EFII site is awesome! I follow you on twitter, downloaded all of your podcasts, and I am still absorbing as much content as I can. My blog is http://ollicedesign.blogspot.com/ and It’s purpose is to help bring in viewers to my website through search engines. Problem is, I don’t illustrate enough or I don’t write enough. I have plans to change all of that. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Hey Steve,
Thanks for the great feedback! I’ll keep the content coming so you have more to absorb. Cheers!
Here is my blog: http://mrk2165sketch.blogspot.com/
I try to update it once a week, more if I have anything I think is relevant and/or good enough to post. I rarely post just text, though lately I have been doing that some. It is mostly there to chart my development as an artist.
I’m a wannabe Freelance Illustrator/cartoonist, I have no clients but as I’m trying to get my portfolio up to speed, that is not surprising. So I’m doing that and pursuing personal projects as well as constantly working to improve my skills.
I am a freelance illustrator and I use this blog to post stuff I do just for fun! I try to post once a week, it forces me to draw for fun and remember why I do this for a living :)
Here is my blog! http://doodlesscribbles.blogspot.com/

Ooh, I’m looking forward to checking out everyone’s blogs – I prefer them to browsing portfolios, actually, it feels more personal. Here’s mine: http://willdrawforcookies.blogspot.com
i am a graphic designer… recently i’ve been exploring the world of illustration and created this blog. sometimes i make products with them. i am interested in illustrating for kids’ books!
I have a couple of blogs, it’s hard sometimes to keep track of the posts and have content everyday, but I try to have something on my illustration blog at least every week. Just in case a potential client visits, they can see that I’m always working on something.
My blog is at http://www.jimenasanchez.com
My blog is a mixture of ongoing illustration and sketchbook work. I also share some design and animation stuff too: http://anthony-hibbert.blogspot.com/
I’ll be documenting lots of personal and professional work throughout the year.
Here is my blog.
http://felicitylingle.blogspot.com/
I’ve been making art my entire life and decided this year to start blogging about it. I post nearly everyday. Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
This is a great idea! Here’s my blog: http://www.roadsideprojects.blogspot.com .
I try to post at least twice a week about projects that I’m working on and about other artists I find that inspire me.
Thanks for all the work you do – I recently found your podcast via Big Illustration Party Time and put a link up on my blog to share it with my readers.
Best,
Jayme
Wow, what a great idea! Thanks so much for such a generous opportunity. And a lot of interesting sites to look through in these links.
Our blog is at http://siriusgraphix.com . Although my roots are in illustration (scientific and medical) I’ve somehow managed to get swept into graphic design over the years. On Sirius we cover topics on everything from design to writing and publishing.
I found your blog through one of Jon Woodward’s tweets and I’m glad I did. Great stuff here!
This is my blog. It’s my little outlet for ideas, ramblings, thoughts and other stuff. Every post is normally accompanied by some sort of wacky illustration. :D
I’m a graphic designer that started a blog to inspire my love of illustration.
My blog is: http://www.propertyofkelly.blogspot.com
I hope folks will stop by and say hello!
Thanks,

My blog bornet as a house for my autobiographical comics: now it contains also my illustration and….give a look to it

Good Day all!
This is such a wonderful website. Thank you for all your hard work!
A Love Of Drawing is a blog created by illustrator and designer Danielle C. McManus. Danielle begins each day with a cup of coffee and a million and one things to do on her ” To Do” list.
A blog is a place for her to share her ideas, thoughts and art. Each day her art takes her someplace different. Drawing is a part of who she is as a person and as an artist. It is why she loves it. Have a look and enjoy!
http://aloveofdrawing.blogspot.com/
I’m not a professional illustrator. It’s more of a serious hobby. (Though I do sell the odd watercolor painting from time to time…just not enough to allow me to quit my day job!) :-)
My blog is…well, had to describe. It’s a humor blog….with original stories and writing, which I like to illustrate with my own cartoons. I’m working on a few projects, which I eventually hope to publish, including some kids’ books.
The latest are my Viking stories, which seem to be a hit.
Anyway, I’ll let you be the judge. You can check me out at :

This is my blog. Lots of my sketchbook and process stuff ends up here. http://jaredfiorino.blogspot.com

In my third year of illustration now, so trying to get my work out there
Here’s my blog: http://clare-dolan.blogspot.com/
Hi Thomas,
I think the weekend forum is a great idea and great way to draw attention to illustration blogs.
My blog is at http://bunsenbrown.blogspot.com/
It’s mostly concept art and I try to update it once a month or so. Since it takes about 2 yrs between doing some concept art for a game and being able to legally show it, the majority of the pieces on my blog are done for fun and to simply keep in practice.
Cheers
Andre

Hi everyone! And thank you to Thomas for creating and maintaining such a wonderful resource for Illustrators! I love the site and really love the podcasts. My blog is at https://illustrationmotivation.wordpress.com and it is where I post new work and occasionally the work of other illustrators I admire.
Thanks, Michelle, for always participating and being a part of the community. That’s what keeps EFII going.
Hi everybody! I’m an artist/illustrator/whatever you want to call me.
My website/blog are sort of one in the same: http://cdowd.com
My Twitter feed is actually much more interesting: http://twitter.com/charlesdowd
Love to hear what you folks think of my work! Thanks
I have a sketch blog at http://cacodaemonia.wordpress.com
I haven’t posted any sketches recently, though, since I haven’t been doing any non-commission work. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things soon.
Hey Chelsea, Sometimes too much commission-work is a good problem to have. Congratulations. I hope to see more sketches soon, though. You do great work. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much Thomas. :)
Thomas – thanks for your wonderful contributions to our illustration community! It does not go unnoticed. I’ve recently posted some new work on my hungry blog. I am not a frequent poster, but this is something I’d like to change by adding process work and color inspiration. Enjoy!
http://jaimeanderson.wordpress.com/
You’re very welcome, Jaime. Good luck posting more. That can be a challenge for sure!
Hi Thomas & everyone with a blog to share,
This is a great idea and I can’t wait to look at all these blogs. Could take some time ;) I’m new to EFII and I already find your posts and info so useful and inspiring! I’ve been painting for a long time, but pursuing commercial illustration & licensing is still bit of a mystery to me. I really appreciate the work you put into this Thomas!!
My blog is http://www.blipadee.blogspot.com and it’s a mix; I share aspects of my work as a muralist, illustrator and scenic artist in the film business, profiles on other artists and designers, businesses and life in my Brooklyn neighborhood, as well as inspiration, influences, travel… lots of photos :D Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks again for letting us share, Allyn
http://scritchyscraps.blogspot.com/
Thanks for all you do on this site, it is a very helpful resource. I am glad I found it through LinkedIn.
Here is my Art Blog:
http://www.kosarteffects.blogspot.com/
I am a 24-year-old freelance artist through my company Kosart Effects Studios LLC, and post on my Projects, Process, and News & Updates for my Fine Art, Illustration, Comics, Sculpture, Creature FX, Masks, FX Props, and Special Effects Make-up & Prosthetics… I try to post as often as I can, mostly it has been a news and updates blog, but recently I have been doing daily warm-ups that I try posting every day (as projects allow)… I interned at Stan Winston Studio in 2007 and worked on INDIANA JONES 4 and AVATAR. Check out my post on Jan 7th, 2010 about working on AVATAR!
Thanks for the opportunity to post my blog :)

I’m a painter and a advertising designer that enjoys combining hand made art with the digital technology available. New to blogging since January 1st, I plan to make this my sketch blog and about anything visual that inspires me. And, as you said Thomas, a way to keep myself accountable for creating new work. Updated at least weekly.
I’ve already bookmarked some of these blogs. More inspiration!
Cheers!

Wow, what a fantastic pool of talent. I see a lot of blogs in here that I read and a bunch that I will be checking out soon.
I have two more I’d like to add to the list. One it for my teaching site:

The other is the Official Bob Ostrom Studio Blog where you can check out some of my latest projects and other stuff I’m working on:

Hey Thomas,
I’m currently a senior finishing up my last year as an illustration major and can’t tell you enough how helpful your site is. I started my blog not too long ago and haven’t posted much but do plan on letting the world in on my process and current events. Documenting my last year as a student will for sure be interesting to look back on in a few years
Thanks again!

My blog is mostly art, hardly any writing. I try to update at least every few weeks and would like to start updating more often.
http://jessicamlopez.com/blog
Wow what a massive response! Can’t wait to check out all of these blogs.
My illustration/personal blog is currently going under a revamp/relaunch, but for the time being I am posting on this blog, which is a drawing-a-day project.
http://365cartoons.blogspot.com/
I’ll post again when my proper blog is ready :)
Hello all! I saw this on twitter and thought I’d come join in on the fun. My name’s Angela Sasser and I am a combination author-illustrator working out of Georgia. I’m mainly a traditional fantasy artist and creative writer currently working on an art instruction book which will be published mass market next fall. My interests lie in both writers and artists, and that creative intercession between the two.
Many of my posts are about finding inspiration, helpful product reviews on equipment for artists, surviving in the business, e-marketing for artists, and my own journey towards entering the professional world. The odd bit of folklore pops up on my blog at times as well while I research for my own projects.
If you’re interested, my blog is here:
Shadowscript – The Art Blog of Angela Sasser – http://blog.angelicshades.com
Hope you’ll drop on by!:)
I usually post some of my scattered sketches and renderings, mainly in the classic hero or original creation genres. I love traditional illustration and vintage comics characters—right now I’m more focused on computer programming, but I still find time to occasionally post something new or at least view-worthy.

Hello everyone, this is my blog at the moment – i am taking part in a 100 day long project and do an illustration every day here!

sharing is love!
Hi! I’m a Finnish illustrator and I have a blog.
I use my blog to tell the world (or at least those 10 visitors a day) about the illustrations I’ve done, my progress, my process etc., or at least post best of my new works and tell something about them. I also really would like to have some comments (good and bad) about my creations.
I try to update my blog regularly but, you know, sometimes I’m too busy, sometimes too lazy and sometimes there’s nothing to post about.
My blog is here:

I’ve been doodling all my life…..all 42 years. Love art….went to an art school have an associates degree in Graphic design. My Dad got me into painting with acrylic paint about 4 years ago and I love it. I don’t post as much as I’d like due to my night job….but I try to post something at least twice a month.
Thanks for the opportunity to post my blog!

I’ve been doodling for all my 42 years. Love art. I went to an art school and have an associates degree in Graphic Design. My Dad got me into painting with acrylics and I really love it. I try to post something at least twice a month but it’s difficult to get too much done with my night job (not art related).
Thank you for the opportunity to post my blog!

Some pretty cool works I’m discovering on here Thomas!
I keep two blogs, which I update ideally every week, but often turning to a few times a month– using what I titled a ‘sketchblog’ for sketches might actually help~ It often ends up that I post pieces in pairs..
My main one is a mix between sketches, new work, and sometimes announcements under
Sketchboy01.
The other one is one with work specific to Storyboards.
I work as a freelance illustrator in Gothenburg, Sweden, here at my blog you can see some of my work and what I´m up to
Hi all! Thank you Thomas for this opportunity …
My blog is at http://planetmithi.blogspot.com
I’m a scientist re-training as an illustrator, and the Blog started out (3 and a half years ago) as a way for me to document my progress (and share it with my family and frineds around the world…). Its mostly been about documenting college work. I also used to spend a bit of time explaining the brief and what the tutors were expecting us to learn from it; so people who hadn’t gone to art college could get a sense of what its all about.
Nowadays, it has my other creative endevours too (like all the crafting I did for my wedding); and other bits and bobs of non-college stuff I’m doing, as long is its vaguely creative/ illustration based (the blog used to be susbitled “Mithi’s Creative Journey”).
I’m so glad I’ve been doing this over the last few years as its kind of like a portfolio now – although I have set up a porfolio site – the blog gives far more of my personality.
And while I’m commenting, can I say how lovely it has been to listen to the EFII podcasts while working in the studio. What a great resourse this website is! Thank you again Thomas!
Yes, I blog.

Hey Thomas! (and everyone else)
First I have to say what a wonderful thing you’re doing. The articles on the website are a great source of information and tips. Thanks so much for that.
My blog is http://michelledegruijl,blogspot.com. I’m a graduating Illustration student at the Utrecht School of Arts, in Holland. There are some works I did for school assignments, but there’s also a lot of free work and sketches.
I’m currently working on my final project, and I’m planning on posting that process as well!
Again, thanks a lot and I’m gonna treat myself to some nice blogs posted here!
Bye!

You won’t find lots of angsty musings and rambling thoughts, but you will find a mix of paintings, illustrations, sketches, and a tiny bit of bad photography.
I’m hoping to put a bit more about my processes soon.

my blog is kind of my personal visual diary. Half updates on my own work, and half pictures, music and videos from the web that inspire me.

Hello all,
I am a new freelance graphic designer in Rio Rancho, NM. My website is Anything Graphic
Wow,so many responses. Guess people are dying to share. This is what I get for waiting to respond, now I’m all the way at the bottom.
Anyway, my main blog is natebear.blogspot.com, where I post all my new illo work and pesonal pieces.
Then I got crampedcomics.com which is where I share my comics, mix of personal, political, and weird. If I draw a comic it goes there.
Then there is n8br.tumblr.com. That’s the one you wanna follow. It reposts the contents from my other 2 blogs in addition to great art I share from other peoples blogs and whatever random thoughts pass my mind. Maybe a sporatic harmonica solo or two.
Also sorta excited about that one since I just re-did the template and drew a fun new header.
Ok now I gotta go look at all these other blogs. Maybe your work will end up in my tumblog.
Don’t worry, Nate. Something tells me your comment will soon be in the middle as more people share their blogs. Thanks for posting!
Great. The middle, that’s flyover country. Lol. Just kidding. It’s a pleasure to keep such good company, above and below.
Hi, My name is Sue. I started off in costume design and then studied literature and worked with children before coming a freelance illustrator, which is the best job in the world. My blog is http://www.suerundlehughes.blogspot.com/ I don’t post everyday, but try once a week or every other week. I post illustrations I”m working on, sketches and my friends’ art and crafts :)
I think this post is a great idea as I have enjoyed looking at everyone’s blogs
Hey peeps,
I’m a illustrator, currently doing my MA at Kingston. My background is in advertising and design, but I left the world of sitting at a desk in the office behind 2 years ago to study. I love children’s books, fashion design & illustration, cake and the colour pink.
My blog is http://gemmamilly.blogspot.com I don’t post every day, only when i remember. I need to get into the habit of doing it more often!
Hi,

Hi, my name is Yol and I am an artisan jewelry designer, collage artist, editor, and writer. I started blogging recently, so thanks for the opportunity to share my blog here! It is at http://sacredjewelry.wordpress.com, where I like to share some of my designs, as well as the process of creating and finishing them, and to write about things like art, women, spirituality, graphic and web design, and my reflections in general. At least that is the purpose of the blog, because I like to write. I try to write regularly, but I can’t always do it everyday.
Anyway, thanks again, and now it’s time for me to go check out everyone else’s blog!
I’ve actually got two blogs at the moment. The first is my “main” blog, which I don’t update nearly as often as I should.
http://blog.otherskies.net
…and the other is a new daily blog, posting a new drawing every day on a theme. It’s, uh, kind of a challenge, but hey, almost made it through January with the chain unbroken…

First of all, thanks for posting so much stuff on your awesome site. I’m trying to catch up with so much info.

Hey all, I’m an Illustrator from Perth – Australia. Mainly doing some weird, quirky, (sometimes) gross, ‘frozen moments in time’ narrative type work, but I also share on my blogs the jobs I don’t put in my folio:
http://memoriesofnam.blogspot.com
Look forward to trying to get through the masses of blogs here! Wow!
http://www.inkasylum.com is my main site where I post a mix of design and illustration entries. I’ve also started two daily blogs this year. A sketch blog at http://inkasylum.tumblr.com and a design blog at http://www.flickr.com/photos/37944214@N00/sets/72157623118242334/
I am a children’s book illustrator and my blog http://wendymartinillustration.com focuses on the life and times of me as a picture book artist. I post doodles, art related information and interviews with published picture book illustrators. I post at least weekly, sometime more frequently when I am not working on a book with a deadline out of the studio on a book tour.
Stop by and leave me a comment with a link to your portfolio and I’ll check it out.

Great portfolios!
Greetings, all….what a great idea to gather our blogs and meet up… thanks, Thomas!
Well, Laughing Stock just started up a blog, CREATIVE CONVERSATIONS. to explore the world of illustration.

Best to all.

Aw, man! You should have run this one last week so I could have drummed up some more votes for my Threadless submission! ;)
Anyway, here’s my blog, and yeah, my latest post was begging for votes. I haven’t updated since then because I’ve been rushing to finish up a couple jobs:
http://kiriko-moth.com
I’m a part-time-to-full-time illustrator depending on how much work I have at the time, but I also a day job I’m hoping to be able to quit before I burn out. Whew!
I haven’t quite narrowed down my field…I thought I wanted to do sci-fi/fantasy and RPGs, but my style doesn’t quite seem to fit the field. I’ve been getting a lot of requests for tattoo designs, and I like doing them. I’m trying my hand at some t-shirt designs. I’m going to give children’s illustration a shot. Really anything at this point!
Nice blog….u can check out our blog…that is -blog.clippingimages.com

I am an aspiring illustrator focusing on children’s books. I used to update pretty regularly before I had twins. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Great idea, Can’t wait to look at the other blogs!

Hello everyone! I am enjoying seeing everyone’s work!
My blog is http://www.koreyscottillustration.blogspot.com
I typically post illustrations 1-2 times a week with personal pictures I am working on or a project I have finished. I try to include a little personal story or a couple lines about “how did I come up with this” picture. My illustrations are children’s illustration/cartoonish/photoshop/vector art….with some doodles I hope to get to one day.
I also enjoy talking and learning from other artists, so please come visit sometime.

Hey everybody,

Thanks for all the great info you are providing.

Hi, I’m at http://valwip.blogspot.com/
I’m trying to get a foot in the door when it comes to illustration and design, having recently retrained for a HND in Graphic Design. My blog is mainly there to point visitors in the direction of my Cafe Press shops, where I have a selection of 13 designs available to be printed on T shirts and giftware. I would love to put more work up but I don’t feel it’s worth it until the existing ones are selling.
So at the moment, although I do blog about my own work, most of my posts are about other popular arts, design and media subjects that inspire (or should that be distract) me. I like to keep it a bright, interesting and fun site to visit. I post at least once a week, often more (I did a whole advent calendar throughout December) and every day I put a new link up to one of my favourite Cafe Press products.
I’m struggling to get people to follow my blog so I’d really appreciate it if you came over and had a look. I’ll definitely make time to check out everyone on this list, too. Thanks!
Hi Thomas,
Thanks so much for giving this chance to talk a little about us. I love blogs that give readers the opportunity to speak and share their thoughts. That’s the whole point no? Works both ways. If it was just one, it would be a newspaper. ;o)
Anyways, I’m a children’s book illustrator. I work in watercolor and finish up digitally. I usually create sweet characters like babies, toddlers and animals.
I love my job, there is nothing else that I’d rather be doing than this! :o)
This is my website

Thanks for sharing, Alicia. I’ll be inviting Illustrators to participate in this new Weekend Forum series every week, so stay tuned. It’s really important to me to help build upon the community that has started here. Thanks so much for being a part of it!
Hello! I’m a Toronto, Canada based illustrator and my medium is silkscreen printing. http://www.juliaminamata.com/blog.html
I’ve just restarted my blog this year. I’m going to be more active in updating it because I want to share my work with others and get inspired and motivated.
Some of my clients include BusinessWeek, The New Yorker, and Macleans.
Hey everyone, I’m new to Illustration Mundo. I’m primarily a photographer, but also an avid illustrator and designer. I do pretty much anything that has to do with art. My blog is http://www.chrislanephoto.com/blog where I write about an assortment of things, from critiques of user submitted work to how to be a better artist, tutorials, etc. Right now I am debuting a graphic short story I illustrated called The Prisoner. It was written by this fellow: http://www.deanmehrkens.com
Hope you enjoy and I’ll definitely be checking out a number of other blogs. Cheers!
Hi!
What a fabulous idea! you are a genius!
I am a graphic designer in the Toronto area. I work with all kinds of graphics, including interior design graphics.

Thanks for this.

Hello! Thanks for contributing! Good mix of inspiration on your blog. Cheers!
Hello Thomas,
Really like the podcast and thanks for giving us the chance to share our blogs with you and others. I am a concept artists and illustrator. I work digital but I do like to dabble with as many mediums as possible to shape things up sometimes. I post my sketches and work in progresses.
I do like to talk about my process and even errors I might run into and other artists. I really want to share as much information and resources as I can to other artists as well to help them on their path. I have sections dedicated to brushes I use and textures I often take photos of and things that inspire me.
My blog is here at http://www.junkbrush.blogspot.com
Hello Sean. Thanks for sharing your blog. I really like your paintings. There’s something very tactile and atmospheric at the same time. Nice work.
Hi, what a great bunch of blogs. I do illustration and Photography and try to blog at least every couple weeks. I’m also a graphic designer so that takes up a lot of my attention. If you click on “view my complete” you’ll see I actually keep 3 blogs, related to different areas of my creative interests. Check them out and leave me some feedback! Thanks
Greetings all,
What fun! I am an artist and writer based in Dallas, Texas and my blog is: http://www.thegretchenshow.wordpress.com
It is primarily a supplement to my website:
http://www.thegretchenshow.com
If you stop in, please say hello.
I’m a freelance illustrator/animator/designer who is currently finishing up a degree in animation. I have a business website, http://www.lacimorgancreations.com, but I hadn’t created and maintained a personal blog to showcase my artwork just yet. So this post has inspired me to create one! You can visit it at http://www.lacimorgan.blogspot.com. There’s not much on it just yet, so if you want to see past work, you can see that at my freelance website listed above, or at http://www.ifreelance.com/pro/14697.
I’ll do my best to update it constantly. Looking forward to seeing all these other talented artist’s site as well! :)
I just set up my blog last week. I plan on using it to show the “creative doodling” I do to try and stay inspired. Stuff that usually doesn’t make it to my main illustration website, but was still fun to do. Thanks!

Hello!
Here’s my blog http://smallcurd.blogspot.com/
At the moment, illustration for me is more of a recreational side job kind of thing. Maybe someday it will be more. Time will tell.
Hey I’m pretty new to the illustration crowd but I know for sure that it’s what I want to do. I’m in my first year of University in the UK studying illustration, and it’s amazing. This is a blog I recently started so it’s not got much on there. But I’m going to upload as often as I can. As of yet I have no watchers and I’m not even sure anyone’s looked at it so maybe you guys could be the first..
http://jonessta.blogspot.com/
Kind Regards =)
P.s. EFII is my all time favourite illustration website and I’ve recommended it to all my class mates. So, keep up the good work.
Hello Stacey,
Thanks for participating, and for helping to spread the word about EFII!
Evening all.
Some great blogs on this page.
At the moment Im a part time illustrator, mainly working on childrens books, hoping to make it full time soon if I can.
My blog is http://www.gorillustrator.blogspot.com/ mainly showing personal stuff.
Feel free to leave me some comments.
Cheers.
Thanks Lee! I love the title of your blog, and the playful nature of your Illustration work. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, I have a blog, thank you for asking. Its an art blog, with news and chatter about my own illustrations and cartoons, as well as those of my friends, and new discoveries.
I used to post randomly and not often, however, now that I have left my full-time job to devote more energy towards making art, I expect to be posting more often (every other day).
It is called Thirteenth Story, and it is here: http://www.thirteenthstory.blogspot.com
-Jaye
I recently started my blog as a way to get random one off images out of myself. I just wanted to use it as a motivational tool, and also to share imagery with anyone who is interested.

Hello out there!
My blog is called Goomie’s World and focuses mostly on children’s illustration, but I also post on other art-related topics and my Illustration Friday entries.
Thanks for looking!
http://megumilemons.blogspot.com/
hi… i’ve got a beautiful blog too!
it is.. http://www.nooz.it
http://www.angrybears.net/type/
just recently started a visual communication course at LCC in London, so most of whatever goes on here is related to the coursework (keeping a blog is additionally part of our assessment through out the year). so far so good.
Hello! I’m also a children’s book illustrator and my blog, CYNchronicity, focuses on daily doodles, IllustrationFriday.com challenges, random sketches, and I try to offer some helpful info about materials, being an illustrator, etc… Sometimes I blog off topic a bit, if I’ve traveled or if the mood calls for something inspiring but not necessarily art related. I try to blog once or twice a week, but that slowed a bit recently. I traveled to India for three weeks in December and just started Yoga teachers training, so I’m rearranging my blog schedule slowly but surely.
This is an impressive list of blogs/bloggers! Wonderful! And thank you! :)
Yea! now the party can start! Cyn’s in the room! Woohoo!
Needed a link to ya lady!

Hi all,
Too many great blogs to look at, too little time! I’m trying to get some WORK done here, dammit!!!
here is my blog:
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/
It’s mostly focused on my illustration endeavors, and I’ve fairly recently started posting work in various stages, because it’s something that I find very interesting myself. I PROMISE this year to update more often- once a week, yes!
my blog!
http://pineappleslushy.blogspot.com/
http://Www.chadcovino.com/blog
I try to update as often as possible on Sundays. Who doesn’t like weekend reading?
My blog is…
http://shihohoshino.blogspot.com/
The blog is about my process of creating illustration and other information about events, galleries, and personal influences. I would love to get feedback so please feel free to comment.
Love, Shiho

Hi, I started making 1 work per day about 1 month ago and you can watch that project on http://edrache.pl
It’s in polish but pictures are universal ;)
My blog is relatively new… in fact I started it because I was inspired by EFII! I’ve done a post on an illustration from first thumbnail to final artwork, and featured various books/illustrations that I like. When I finish my current illustration job I’ll do a post detailing my illustration process in a lot more detail. I’m loving my blog so far & finding it very inspiring & exciting.
Thanks Thomas!

Informative and creative…. gotta check out and bookmark the licensing info… Thanks for sharing.
Hello world, I’m an illustrator.
Here is my blog:
http://jameselston.blogspot.com
I keep a blog to share my latest drawings and art as I create it; I am fascinated by the drawings and studies of artists as they work on their more “finished” creations, and it was a logical step for me to show my work in progress. The blog is also a great way to share some of the images / illustrations I run into on a daily basis -we are avid collectors of visuals, and I get exposed to so much great art via illustrationmundo and other blogs than it is also natural to share some of my own discoveries.
My name is Steve Faramelli. The purpose of my blog: http://freshandmodern.com/blog/
is to document my return to being an artist. I’ve been a graphic designer and manager of designers for the past 14 years, but am now trying to return to my true love of illustration and fine art. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art, emphasis in Illustration, and have yet to venture into anything remotely resembling an illustration or fine art career.
I wanted to add – this is an amazing website and resource for illustrators and those who love illustration…thanks so much for the great content!!!
Thanks Steve! Glad you like it here. Enjoy!
Hello everybody,
I’m a freelance illustrator aspiring to become a book illustrator…:)
I have a blog but not much time to update it at the moment…unfortunately it turned out to be mostly about announcements and I’m not getting much interaction out of it. I’m hoping to be able to find some time in the future to make posts about the way I work: about the technique, the thought process that happens along the way etc. Here is the address if you’d like to check it out:

Hi –
I’m a recent fine art graduate that’s trying to break into the illustration market. I’ve been using a blog to develop a portfolio of what are becoming concept-based works influenced by fashion and music. I make posts of each new work as my portfolio develops. It’s just beginning really, but helpful to me to visually review my own work whilst it progresses.
My blog can be found at http://paintportraits.tumblr.com/
Any critical feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruth.

Hi,
Despite not being a freelancer, I’ve been reading you blog for the past few weeks now, and I find it really helpful and insightful.
I’m a computer science student, but I’m going to be working at Dreamworks in the summer as a Technical Director. I know it’s all code, but I still tend to draw a lot. I find that one area of the brain helps the other.
Here is my blog: http://fongmingyun.blogspot.com

Hi everyone! Wow it’s so nice to see the illustration community so alive! SO much talent out there! Good work :)
I’m Bee – nice to meet you all. I’ve been working for a greeting card company for three yrs, but quit my job last December to spend more time on my freelance stuff. I have a couple of regular magazine jobs, and I also make and sell my own greeting cards and stationery. I’ve just found a distributor for my cards, so soon I’ll be selling stuff to a few hundred stores around Australia – I’m very excited!!
I’ve also recently started to license my designs.
Most of my artwork is on my site here:
http://www.littlebeehive.com.au
But my blog is where I post news of what I’ve been up to, and anything that I find inspiring from day to day. I usually post every day or every second day if I’m ultra busy!

Hey folks! Long line of posts about everyone’s blog!
You are cordially invited to visit:
“The Mad Scientist’s Art Laboratory”
http://jaglab.wordpress.com
It is really really brand new (my first blog).
In the explorer’s spirit, I will post my experiments as I discover and learn all I can about drawing, illustration, painting, and any worthwhile artistic discipline I find interesting.
Like most of you, I will be sharing work in progress, finished pieces, and perhaps most importantly, my experiences mixing and matching techniques and disciplines.
I hope to provide interesting content, but mostly, I will have fun experimenting, and showing you folks what I think may be an unconventional creative and functional approach to creativity and art.
Thanks go to Thomas James, and all my great newfound artist friends whom without their encouraging words I would still be posting onesies on the free image services all over the web.
I hope you enjoy my upcoming posts, and thanks so much for your attention.
Have a great art day/night!
Jose
I live in the city of Bahia Blanca (Argentina) where I was born and studied for Superior Teacher in Visual Arts, with specialty in Paint.
I work in teaching since 1996; currently teaching Illustration III and Airbrush Workshops. My true passion is the world of child illustration. I try to be a good artist in this way, you can see many of my work at my blog.
Greetings Fellow Artists!
I’m an artist who has finally found her place…in the world of Children’s Book Illustration! I’m currently a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where I am building up my portfolio work and working on improving my skills as an illustrator.
My blog is serving as an archive of everything I am learning as I go along my way. I plan to post more about my current projects as they come along, but so far it is still in its early stages. Swing on by anytime!
Thanks!

life drawing blog http://lifedrawingsoheejeon.blogspot.com
have fun!
blogs make a good learning journal,
its a massive endless sketchbook, but you’re not constricted to one size book or type of paper, media, can even be cg.
What i like about them is that it isnt as formal as a portfolio, you can talk about what you like and dislike, prospective employers can look at your work in a completely different light, and they get to know you more as a person not just an illustrating machine.
oh yeh, and mine is here http://www.crumpetsandcrabsticks.blogspot.com
My little blog http://jgiammarino.blogspot.com/ where I post illustrations, doodles, and sketches.
It’s mostly full of my drawings of marshmallows, since I set myself a challenge back in December to make a marshmallow every day for a year. But I’m trying to find time to create more non-marshmallow related creations =)

Also here is a more complete look at my work. I named my blog 3 Hats because I like to wear many hats in terms of illustration styles. I like to dabble in a little bit of everything. Sometimes good, sometimes not. But that is me.

Hi
I’m a freelance Concept Artist and Storyboard Artist from Australia.
I have just started a new blog, taking some of your advice in designing a portfolio wordpress blog using the page and image option as a thumbnail gallery. I’de appreciate any kind of feedback. There’s still plenty to add to it yet. The pic on the “about” page isn’t me (hah), that pic is coming also.
Thanks for your great tips and articles,

Hello
I’m an Italian artist, designer and illustrator.
I tend to not restrict my blog to only artistically related subjects, I like to share my thoughts from cooking to soccer, passing by illustration processes and book reviews. I believe being open, curious and interested is also a key to be successful in what you do.

Hi everyone, l´m a Mexican Designer/Illustrator , here is a link to my blog http://www.mrbob.mx , hope you like it.
I’ve recently set up my own blog, show casing others art and design as well as my own for the ‘Make Something Cool Every Day’ project.
Everything was made with graphic design in mind and I want to see it and do it all, I write about film, music, illustrations, print design. On Saturdays I post a small shopping list of stuff I have seen over the week and on Wednesday I post Spotify playlists, I hope to use this as a tool to network and explore what I can do – maybe make some money on the side, who knows!

Hi, I’m Leighton Hubbell, an illustrative designer.
My blog covers issues in logo design, graphic design and illustration. The site also has a portfolio section available for checking out the work. You can give it a look at http://leightonhubbell-blog.com
Just got my blog running and have some recent Haiti quake pics up
Thank you, Thomas, for creating such a inspiration collection of illustrator blogs! This is a fantastic resource – I know I’ll be returning here many times.
We just started our blog, Fibro World in January. I’m new to illustrating, but I created cartoon avatars to represent myself and Fibro Mom. Some people choose super heroes, I selected super hippos! The hippo illustrations have really helped me blog about a difficult subject — our daily triumphs and setbacks coping with fibromyalgia and chronic pain.
We post several times a week and have already been featured by Alltop. I love illustrating and can’t wait to start using your tutorials to improve my skills. If anyone has any tips for me, I’m all ears!
I have two blogs, one for my design life and one for my “art” life. Alphabet Roadtrip (http://www.alphabetroadtrip.com) is a site connected to my primary design website. Here I post images of found letters and signs with short essays or prose-poems about letterforms and sense of place as well as recent letterform design work. In the section called “Signs I Like” I welcome people to send me found signs that evoke the naive, unschooled, quirky, and melancholic mysteries of life. My primary business is as a letterform artist and calligraphic illustrator.
My fine art site is a hybrid of fine art and design language and you can visit at Iskra Fine Art (http://www.iskrafineart.com). Here I post projects in process, galleries of finished work, photographic inspiration and quite a bit of writing. I post when the spirit moves, on the theory that there is, um….enough out there already so I better be sure I’m adding something I like!
Thomas,this thread is a great resource and very generous of you to set up and monitor– I am enjoying seeing how other illustrators and designers use their blogs.
Iskra
will anyone still be reading?

The “I Dream of Monsters” blog was created as an outlet for my art and brand identity using my TM “Zoot Suit Joe” mascot. My style is solid-colored, bold and iconic. I also do expressionism. The purpose in my art is to treat each piece similar to a logo so that they all stand on their own. By day, I’m a commercial graphic / web designer. I really want to get more into the illustration field using my style. To fulfill it meanwhile, I use my zazzle store as an outlet (www.zazzle.com/idreamofmonsters). “Zoot Suit Joe” will be joined by a sundry of characters currently under wraps. I’m also a musician (youtube.com/mandoland73 and myspace.com/mandopadilla) who likes editing video etc. Buy my primary reason for this post is to share the “I Dream of Monsters” / “Zoot Suit Joe” art. I’m excited to reveal an even more appealing group of characters in the near future! Cheers :o) – Mando

Hey there I am a new freelance illustrator, fresh out of the box and all shiny and new… although this whole freelance thing is harder than i thought it would be. I tend towards a loose style both with line and colour but am also a big fan of a little digital image manipulation as well. Check out my blog, as I desperately need some followers….

Hi, I’m a high school teacher who has been doing some illustration and design work on the side. I’m going back to school right now, to change career permanently and be a creative professional like I always wanted.
I’ve been trying to keep a blog about my creative endevours for a little more than a year. This summer I moved in to my own domain and selfmade website. From then on I’ve written my blog posts in both Swedish and English. Frankly because I want to be a part of the international community of illustrators that gather around things like Illustration Island and Illustration Friday.
Here’s my blog in Enlish: http://illustrius.se/en/blogg

Hi…
I’ve been working as a part-time freelance character designer for a little while, but I’m hoping to make the part-time a bit more full-time in the near future. With that goal in mind, I decided to streamline my web presence and am currently in the process of moving my work from my old site to my new one…which also doubles as my blog. If you want a peek, look here… http://www.hartoworld.com
:)
My blog deals with information pertinent to the illustration field.
Topics will vary from techniques working with Adobe Illustrator
and Photoshop. I will mention web sites that have information that
I feel illustrators or fine artists find interesting. If I take a trip to
a museum or gallery and feel it is relevant I will post it on my blog.
I don’t post blog posts every day because I don’t feel I always have
something worth while to mention.
I’m an illustrator from the UK working mainly in children’s books, but have worked on everything from pasta cans for supermarkets to production artist on animations. I like to post works in progress and personal doodles on my blog.
Please take a little look around… I’d love to know what anyone thinks :)

Hello! I have a little blog – bentami.wordpress.com – which could really benefit from some professional artist, or even amateur artist, input.
I want to be a children’s book illustrator (I think) when I grow up, which I’m hoping will be any day now. I blog about all the things I learn, mistakes I make, and art media I discover … among other things. I try to post every day.
Right now I’m doing 50 children’s illustrations in 60 days, I’m then doing a little give-away of a print, and picking 15 or so of those drawings to finish up and use in my portfolio.
Check it out, or if you don’t have the time now, check it out in a year or so when it will be full of all the awesome knowledge I’m sure to gain. Thanks!
