New Kids on the Blog

Thursday, January 13, 2005

I’ve been gradually updating my links page with some new additions to the “Art & Comics Blogs” section.  Here are a few of my favourite recent add-ons:

Learning Daily
A fabulous illustrated blog that I started seeing pop up in my referal stats.  Cin has a great graphic style—I particularly liked her bubble-blowing robot.

The Ward-O-Matic
Ward Jenkins is an animator from Atlanta.  He’s blogs with passion and is super nice guy (depsite the fact that I neglect to reply to his e-mails!)

Drawing Makes Zen-se
Dani�lle chronicles the minutae of daily life in a Moleskine and posts the pages online.  She has a very endearing style.

Jared Chapman
Jared’s illustrations are very very fun.  He’s one of those artists that makes me want to draw more (and post more drawings).

UPDATE:
Paul Giambarba has done it again.  Three blogs weren’t enough for him; he’s started a fourth: Cartoons: An Appreciation

Hey thanks for the props, there Johnny. I guess I started to feel like some blog-stalker or something. (A Blalker?) Not to worry, though - I’m over it now. And what you may call passion was really a bad case of indigestion I had the other night. I guess I try too hard. Again, thanks for the nod!

Ward, No worries!  I am notoriously bad at replying to e-mails.  I set them aside to reply to later, but then of course they get replaced by new e-mails that I set aside, and the cycle continues…

Hi Johnny,
Like Ward said, thanks for the plug. I’ve been a fan of your site for a while now but hadn’t paid my daily visit yet when Ward let me know about props. Love your work. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks again!

Hi !

I sent you an e-mail thanking you for the link, but from your comment, looks like maybe I better say it here !

When I checked my newsreader for updates on my favorite blogs. . .and saw in your listing that you had mentioned me. . . oh me, wow, big time jaw dropping occured. Still having a hard time getting it closed.

Thanks ever so much, I’m just amazed !

Thanks, John. Allow me to stand and say, “My name is Paul and I am a blogoholic.” Soon there will only only two active ones. The Branding of Polaroid is over and the cartoon and caricature blog is about to exit as well.
