Blogs of artists

I've looked at the blogs of a few artists that I'm interested in, I already followed all of them anyway but I'll write about a few of them here
Fiona Staples http://fionastaples.tumblr.com/
Fiona's blog is interesting in that it's not very focused around her work. She'll post work related to projects of her that are coming out soon such as comic covers and she'll post the occasional sketch that otherwise wouldn't be seen but that's about all from her own work. I hypothesise that this is the case for a lot of illustrators because due to doing work for others can't freely show much completed work before it's made public and probably by the time they would be allowed to post it they've moved on.
Due to this (possibly) Staples' blog is filled mainly with things that interest her. This is mainly art from artists she likes or knows. Sometimes she'll write a little about why she likes the work. It's also not a very busy blog, I suppose this is because she is busy doing actual work. The rest of the blog is her answering people's question about her work and process which is some of the most useful content of her blog.
Zak Smith http://zaksmith.tumblr.com/
Zak Smith's blog is different to Staples' blog in that it is entirely his own work. This may be because he is more of a fine artist so is in control of all his work and has a larger existing body than Staples does. Smith's blog is mainly pieces of his work along with the title and possibly a line about it but little else. Recently he has started selling prints of his work on things: phone cases, cushions etc, through an online shop and he's started to post a lot of links and examples of these items. Zak also does a lot of writing, often about art and the state of the art world and he posts articles/rants or links to articles on his blog too. Zak also fields questions through his blog but less often and publicly than Staples.
Cameron Stewart http://cameron-stewart.tumblr.com/
Cameron almost only posts pictures of his work and everything else is related directly to his work. Like Smith he doesn't write much to go along with his work, only basic information about it. He has a lot of sketches mainly (though his sketches aren't exactly sketchy) and a few complete works that he's selling as prints, along with links to where you can buy more of his work. He also has sort of adverts for upcoming releases of his comic series. An observation about his and Staples' blog is they are quite light hearted and humorous about their work, which I appreciate. Their blogs aren't overly serious or professional, they are more a reflection of themselves. This is important because as they are both on tumblr they are very interactive with a wide variety of audience who aren't exactly searching them out to hire them but for their entertainment.
