We know that graphics are always welcome and important in a blog, all the more so in a blog intended to serve graphic artists. We'll do our best to make it fun to see, not just to read.

We'll be visiting as many other blogs and websites as we can to get ideas, and we'll be quoting them and linking to them--the online community grows with openness from everyone.

In a word, we'll share generously and we'll share often. We want to be a resource our artists enjoy, are fed by and are nurtured by in their efforts at bringing their art to the world.
