Sorry, that’s a little embarassing.
The point is, because I have so much free time I like to spend it either drawing, writing about drawing, twittering about writing about drawing, and so forth. I also spend an ample amount of time each day trying to read other people’s blogs, twitters, facebook notes, yadda yadda yadda in order to get a good grasp of the world around me.
Here are some of my favorite blogs/websites:

Yes, it sounds similar to “The Cool Hunter” but this site is equally great, plus it has great videos of artists of all flavors, from Brazillian Pixcao to Knife Making and Custom Wallpaper.

Things I (Emmanuel) write about, find funny, think are thought provoking, and reposts from all the aforementioned sites.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Out of all the blogs presented, I have to say my favorite was actually trees grow leaves, even though I felt kinda creepy for enjoying it as much as I did. You now have one new reader. good job.
