I like to think that my blog is unique or original, however that isn't the case.
This blog, like hundreds of others, is tackling a very similar theme. In a whole, they are all artist's blogs. But, there are many different kinds within that category including fashion artists, graffiti artists, painters, photographers, and many others. To check out some of these blogs by various types of artists you can click here.
I guess most artists with blogs are looking for a way to attract potential art buyers to their work by putting it up online. Others maybe trying to attract buyers by providing an insight into their artwork which creates a deeper relationship with the buyer and the artist.
I think it's hilarious that there is even a site that exists that explains why every artist NEEDS a blog to be successful nowadays. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with an artist that starts a blog just to try selling their work by displaying it on the Internet.
Even for myself, I think it would be awesome if I could some recognition from some rich art buyer to give me millions of dollars for my artwork.
But, I would like to think that there are some artists out there that use artistic blogs for there own personal fulfillment, for there own individual accomplishments.
This is where my blog comes in. A blog community that doesn't really feel like they NEED to sell their work, just so long as they can say they set a personal goal and accomplished that goal.

I like how you not only assess where you fit in the blogosphere, but you also make a definitive point about why *you* are blogging, what you contribute.
