Lynne Suprock said...

Hey Seth Apter! I just realized that you now have
THE most comprehensive URL list of mixed media blogs in the world. So sorry it took me this long to find your post. Oh my word, anyhow....
Although I know lots of these folks and their blogs, I do not know all, so it was quite the pleasure working through the llst. Oh, but wait, I saw my Simply Pretty Stuff there too! Gosh, I am blushing.......

There is one blog that I enjoy particularly, as she shares extraordinary insights about ordinary life
http://artjournaler.typepad.com. It belongs to watercolor artist, Loretta B Marvel. Unique circumstances allowed our paths to cross. I think she is lovely.

Another favorite is by a bead and sculptor artist, Andrew Thornton http://artjournaler.typepad.com
He and his partner own Allegory Gallery in Ligonier, PA. Unique circumstances brought me to his shop as well.

It was through Andrew that I then met, and became friends with, Gail Crosman Moore, a fabulous enamel and bead artist. Her blog is http://artjournaler.typepad.com and her things are inspired by pods and creatures found in nature.

You raise such a good point regarding media platforms and how they perhaps take away from the blog write time and even the very fabric. It used to be that I blogged to share personal epiphanies or obsevations with the rest of the world through my love and skill of writing. I let people who I did not know see me and shared what I wanted to share by writing from my studio or nearby coffee shop. FB has never been that same platform for me....for many others,too I imagine. FB, Twitter, and Instagram are necessary to connect, connect, connect and share Information. It is not , and was never intended to be creative journaling. It is purposeful connection to people and places you have known, who you want to get to know, or who somebody else already knows. Each has a purpose and each also takes time.

I feel like I need to reconnect with the original intent of my blogging. Even though I am late getting to yours, it was serendipitous. I would like to really "write" again instead of just being an advert platform for things I teach or publish. This would have greater meaning and satisfaction for me and perhaps would make some kind of a difference in the lives of others who read it.......and that is just this girl's opinion. : )

We Mixed Media artists need to stick together = )

Jazworks.blogspot.com said...

Imagine a City...







Imagine a city where every home had on it's front lawn a piece of sculpture or an art installation.

Imagine a city where each and every business invited artists to exhibit their work to the company's patrons.

Imagine a city where instead of gifting clothing, electronics, chocolate, or cash, a work of art was given, and appreciated.

Imagine a city where each and every home housed and preserved an art collection. Where insecurities over self-interests were dispensed with, and collections reflected those varied tastes.

Imagine a city where glass, pottery, painting, photography. fibers, basketry, and even graffiti were embraced. Where the artists themselves were looked upon as a treasured resource. No matter their perspective.

Imagine a city where any construction project involved multiple artists, in its' execution.

Imagine a city which preserved its' creative heritage and embraced it.

Imagine a city which understood, that capturing a slice of life had merit. But to alter a communities perspective to embrace all thought and belief, strengthened it, not weakened it.

Imagine a city which led the World in cultural munificence which would then reap the reward of becoming a global mecca.

Imagine a city which could step outside of what others were doing could walk the path of its' own making.

Imagine a city where meetings to enact such change, needn't take place. Rather a spontaneous change came from its' citizenry itself.

Imagine a city which artists flocked to; enabling them to create without fear of censorship or derision.

Imagine a city not dependent upon their museums or art schools for their lead in any discussions of artistic merit, but rather the career artists themselves.

I have imagined this city since childhood, as have most of my colleagues. Instead we've swum through muck, hoping such change would miraculously happen without distracting us from our labors. Or moved to the closest metropolis which appeared poised to take the plunge.

Cleveland, like most cities, while not a blank canvas; is one, where the image it sports has faded beyond restoration. The time to paint over it has come. Shiny new unaesthetic buildings, are simply masking the rot.

Marc Breed, Fine Artist



"In the distant future, when America is a mere shadow of itself, who historically, shall be remembered? In sports, an argument can be made for Ruth, Chamberlain, Gretzky, Ali, et al. In Art, there is but one name, Breed."

-Smithsonian Magazine

Awesome Blog. Great wealth of material!

Dea Lenihan said...

So glad to find you! Great list--looking forward to more art info. xo

Liz-Anna said...

Thank you for this incredible list. Sadly I have lost my place on it due to my lack of posts but I do plan to get back at it. I've almost forgotten how. I was so disappointed to see that many blogs that I used to follow have gone the way of my own so I'm really pleased to see such a current list as this one (and kudos for crossing off us slackers!).

Neil said...

Any chance of getting on your list? :)

Monique's art said...

Awesome list. Thanks so much

lynbelisle said...

Seth! Thanks for including me - what a great list to be a part of. This is a majorly comprehensive directory, a service to all of us, and an ongoing source of inspiration. High fives!

Liz-Anna said...

This is such an incredible list. I'm looking forward to checking out every single one to put positive social media back in my life. FB is becoming something that isn't particularly healthy. I am seeking a more positive atmosphere. My own blog has also been neglected. Thank you for all you do to spread inspiration!

Linda M. Cain said...
