inspiring blogs

i’m all about the eye candy.
i am also all about sharing, with you.

i particularly like blogs of other creative people and artmakers. i like blogs that have photographs.
i like people who are THINKING, DOING and MAKING. & following their own muse. transcending the ordinary, being extraordinary.

i like to think i am creative now and then, but, DAMN, these amazing people kick my humble, has-a-long-way-to-go ass all the way around the internet block. what i do: mere dabbling, mere dreaming! :)

kris atomic is a fabulous illustrator from the UK.
you can see some of her amazing, poppy, modern/retro doodles and illustrations here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/krisatomic/sets/1258567/

this is one of her blogs:

http://krisatomic.vox.com/library/posts/page/1/
i love how her blog is mostly photographs (her own, & of things she loves or that inspire her), like a scrapbook. pictures really are worth millions, if not thousands of words.

someone recently turned me on to alicia paulson’s blog, posie gets cozy. hers is the penultimate craft/life blog: gorgeous photographs of her work shot in her droolworthy, colorful, amazing home.

she also runs this craft retail site, rosy little things:

susie of brit (fashion) blog style bubble trancends the inane trend-slavishness of most fashion blogs, and looks at what’s now, what has been, and what will be in the most irreverent, intelligent manner.

i am completely sick with internet envy over the creative force that is san francisco artist/crafter/blogger, lisa congdon.

lisa blogs about her work (art and craft), life, and related subjects here:

http://birdinthehand.typepad.com/a_bird_in_the_hand/

her droolworthy, colorful, amazing pad was recently featured on apartment therapy: san francisco:

and she recently opened a webstore, where she’s selling her art (and soon, her craft?):

    I read Lisa Congdon’s blog all the time. I read your blog all the time. You two should try to get together. I think you’d really hit it off. Plus, it could make living in San Francisco so much easier. Best of luck to you.

    I have shortcuts to all these blogs too, except the first one was new (and is now a shortcut on my computer) …. I have hundreds of blogs bookmarked, some are better than others of course but blog surfing is my newest hobby! … Here’s another cute one: http://myhouseiscuterthanyours.blogspot.com
