Today is Earth Day and the first-year anniversary of ArtStyle Blog. The year I spent publishing and editing the blog has been a rewarding and eventful one. I would like to thank the Contributing Bloggers, subscribers, and supportive friends for helping to make this blog successful.

As some of you know, I will be taking a leave for a month after April for recuperation, some R&R, and to work on my children’s book. During the interim, we will be informally posting and uploading images at Flickr.com, a photo sharing site, under the name ArtStyle Blog Group. The website is www.flickr.com/groups/artstylebloggroup.

Thanks again, and we hope you visit our Flickr.com site.

Since we implemented our new gallery on ArtStyle Blog a few days ago, we’ve been getting requests from artists to be considered for the gallery. Our policy for now is to include the artwork of Contributing Bloggers who are visual artists and only the artists we cover in the blog. The purpose of the gallery is to provide an in-depth view of the actual artwork we discuss in our interviews and reviews. In general, for every new visual artist in the blog, you will see an accompanying album(s) in the gallery. We will also try to include the work of visual artists we have covered since the blog inception. The gallery will be updated on an ongoing basis, so please check back periodically. You are welcome to comment on any image in the gallery by first clicking on an image and then Add Comment. If you want to send a private comment, go to Contact.
