7 Inspiring Artists Who Blog

A few artists are very good at blogging – most are not. I get endless questions about what to write about, how to blog, and whether blogging can be effective for artists.

The following is a list of my favorite art bloggers, as well as a handful of artist blogs that were recommended to me by readers of TAA.

If you are an artist looking for blogging inspiration, look no further than these inspiring individuals!

Aaron Hockley

In addition to being a very talented event and fine art photographer, Aaron is a web developer. He’s one of the guys I go to when I have technical questions. He also has a handle on social media, and his blog focuses on social media for photographers, his own work for various technology events, and a mish-mash of other topics.

Hugh Mcleod

If you don’t know GapingVoid.com, then you are truly missing out on one of the great minds thinking about how art can change the world. Hugh’s original cartoons sit in the offices of some of the largest companies in the world, and he is looked to as a change agent and definer of culture. Hugh’s blog is a mix of his own work, the podcasts hosted by himself and his business partner, and his thoughts on the power of cartoons and art to change the world.

Janice Tanton

Janice is an award winning artist and entrepreneur who has won acclaim around the world for her work. You can read about her long list of awards on her Wikipedia page. Janice’s blog (and active Twitter account) focus on her work in progress, the mindset of being a successful artist, and inspirational material. Janice is truly an inspiring person and I’m excited to share her work.

Jolie Guillebeau

Jolie is not only good at painting, but good at storytelling. She calls her blog posts stories. Every piece of art has a story, and Jolie’s blog posts tell the story of her art in progress. Jolie has made a name for her self by delivering paintings to her collectors on a daily basis – via email. For those who think that daily emails are too much, check out Jolie’s success!

UPDATE: Jolie’s site has updated since this post, and she no longer has a regular blog on her website. You can still see some of her writing at the link above.

Natasha Wescoat

Painter. Independent Artist. Self taught Force of Nature. Natasha is a true digital native. She has written for tech blogs like Mashable, worked for digital agencies, hosted endless live blogging and live painting sessions online, and recently, with me, hosted a Facebook Marketing for Artists course. You can find out more about that Facebook for Artists course here. Natasha’s blog focuses on a mix of her personal life, her children, her work as a painter and illustrator, and advice for artists on how to use the web to sell their art.

 

UPDATE: Natasha’s website does not appear to have a blog anymore.

Melissa Dinwiddie

I LOVE Melissa’s work as an artist, friend, and frequent collaborator. Melissa is a nurturer of creativity, a ketubah artist, a ukulele jazz singer, and multi-potentialite. Melissa’s blog posts tend to talk about the fragile nature of creativity, making your dreams come true, and her work as a visual artist and musician.

Kristen Kieffer

If there’s one thing that Kristen does well, it’s telling a story about her art. Every blog post that she writes tells the story of how her ceramics were started, where the ideas came from, or how she makes them. Here’s how one of her recent blog posts started.

When I was a kid, Grease was the word, but as a studio potter, Cup is definitely the word. It’s the form I make the most. It’s an object everyone uses. It’s useful, necessary, and ‘daily’ as well as personal, intimate, and homey. Tis the season for cups shows, and here’s some great venues where you can catch mine…

    One artist that I find exceptionally inspiring is a painter I met through the wonderful land of blog. Stephanie Mealor Corder is an artist living in Decatur Georgia. Even though many miles separate us, she and I have become good friends and lean on each other during life’s trials and tribulations. She not only is a talented artist, but also offers me great motivation cheerleader style. Her kindness to others and love of sharing and teaching to children is an inspiration. Her blog is http://dragonflydegignstudios.blogspot.com/

      @jaimehaneyartist Hi Jaime – thanks for the suggestion for Stephanie’s blog. Remember the conversation we had in last night’s coaching call about Digital Sharecropping? The same rule applies to Blogspot blogs. I am hesitant to point to any bloggers using Blogspot as good examples. They may be good writers, but usually the design is less than stellar – which should matter to an artist – and operating off of someone else’s sub-domain leaves you vulnerable to their whims.

        @CoryHuff  @jaimehaneyartist Yes, I remember. I thought we were just sharing bloggers that inspired us, not the design of their blog. Well in that case, you are right. Most artists have less than stellar blogs but while the look of a blog may attract me in the beginning, in the end it is what the person has to say that determines if I stay or not.

    Wow, thanks for including me on this list, Cory! I’m flattered to be among such good company. 🙂
     
    One blogger I’d recommend is Laureen Marchand (a former Art Empowers member!), who blogs over at http://www.grasslandsgallery.com/blog-2/
     
    Her stories of her life and experiences as an artist living at the edge of a national park in Canada never cease to compel me. Definitely one of my faves! (And fyi, Laureen has always been super-focused on her painting, and never thought of herself as a writer! She totally is, though. :))
     
    Also, FYI, the piece of mine shown above is from 2005, and not at all representative of the kind of work I’ve been making lately. Here’s a link to more current stuff:
     
    http://melissadinwiddie.com/artspark-gallery/
     
    As you know, our Art Empowers members frequently ask what to blog about. So many visual artists feel at a loss for words. This post is great inspiration for any artist trying to figure out how to find their own, unique, blogging voice. Thanks for putting it together!

    Hi Jaime – I want to thank you so kindly for including me in this list. Being an artist is sometimes (and necessarily) a solitary occupation. Blogging and connecting with other artists in a diverse global internet setting is a very big change from those artists that preceded us in history.

    Connections open up doors of possibilities and expand our knowledge and hearts – exposing us to different viewpoints, cultures and at times, a barrage of news from which we have to filter what is true, necessary and inspires us.

    Blogging for me, represents a place for me to share my thoughts, works, questions and insights. I write and post primarily for “me” – so that I might have some insight over a long term, of what is moving me.

    After all…we are human beings and knowing ourselves is the greatest mystery of all time.

Primarily it is a chronicle for me, but anyone is welcome to read it and comment. Thanks for the list of your favorites.

I rarely share my art on my blog (which is more a lifestyle and fashion blog) and everytime I do, I get very few visits…ok, I know digression is not a good way to open up a comment but it is an interesting question.

    Anyway, I do like your list and I’m thankful for this recommendation post you shared…I will be checking out this artists for sure.

    Thanks Cory. I am looking forward to checking these all out. Unfortunately, I am one of those sporadic and inconsistent artist bloggers! A combination of fearing that what I have to say won’t be of interest to enough people and my words and time will disappear into the great abyss. Also, I put a lot of content over on my facebook page which I know I shouldn’t, however it is where a lot of my collectors and followers will respond and connect in real time. That seems to draw me in each time as my primary form of communication and then there never seems to be enough time left to get consistent with blog posts and newsletters. However, it is on my ‘to-do-list’…as well as finding and strengthening my own unique blogging voice. Cheers. Tanya from downunder at Tanya Cole Arts

    Art comes in many forms. I enjoy creating emotion with many of these forms. I think first I’m a writer who enjoys sketching with pencil and pen and occasionally paint and chalk. Another form I enjoy is photography with my 35 mm and also being creative with my iPhone. As long as an artist is expressing emotion through a form that is natural to them, I believe this is true art. Marketing is difficult for artists as this takes away thought and time from their core talent. But marketing is essential in the world of entrepreneurship. I hope that the number of true appreciators will grow in this niche as this is necessary for artists to be able to continue to provide true art. I hope that people will be inspired at https://www.thewoodsedge.co/

I am a writer first; that has been my career path. However, I still find it challenging to combine art and blogging. I just want to paint. Blogging take conscious effort on my part. But I am slowly getting a bit better at blogging regularly. It took sheer willpower to get my artist website set up! 🙂

    I’m just getting started in seriously working the business side of art, developing my website, blogging and putting work out on Social media. So, I’m curious – does blogging help sell art? Does it help customers find you? I realize the many benefits of sharing thought processes, creative resources, inspiration, etc., but I’m wondering if/how it can affect the bottom line.

    I’m always curious about what types of topics artists decide to write about. Would be neat to see what types of topics are typical for those types of blogs.

    I check your site here and there. I don’ t look for it specifically, but it sometimes comes up whether the search terms are relevant or not.
    I suppose, it was quite a while ago when the list was published, therefore, these blogs either are discontinued or do not strike as very impressive, except natasha is fairly well-known, I suppose because she takes part in a lot of things.
    Facebook has changed a lot and it certainly serves well to people who can invest in advertising.
    I find that it’s not always the art or the blog which find frequently place in such lists, but probably the contacts and to a big extent exposure to a global art scene.
    I’ m teaching a lot and that has taken me to sideways sometimes. However, most people who try to understand what medium and why they should choose, as well as how to become a good artist, say that my blog was the one which inspired them a lot. I’ve been writing my art and lifeschool blogs since 2012. Being not born in North America and being a newcomer after 50, I’ m over 60 now, is tough. I gave up established life and became unknown. So, it would be nice to see my art blog at least take off more effectively. Well, I moved it to website and lost about 3000 followers.
    Thanks for your articles, they give some kind of ideas here and there and also make one explore more than the obvious opportunities.

    Just came across this blog today. I need someone to help me out on how to blend two images in a single frame in such a way that viewing the picture frame from one angle, you see one of the images and viewing it from another angle you see the other image. I’ll would be pretty glad.

    It would be great to update this list for 2019. I’m searching for artist’s blogs all the time, and surprisingly, they are still difficult to find. Oh, you see lists of “great artist’s blogs you have to follow!!” but too often they’re all announcing the same ole- same ole.

    So, in case there are others like me, I’ll announce my blog here. https://gallery.jrileystewart.com/blog and hope you enjoy it!

    Seems kind of funny that you are promoting how “great” blogging is with artist references, half of who quit blogging. It is just a blowhard waste of time to boost search engine results. Everyone you posted wrote the same basic crap.

    I just came upon this list today and it’s a great list! But as many said, an update to this would be great.

    As an emerging artist myself, I find that artists are either really good at utilizing the written words or really bad. That’s why some have really nice blogs and some are a bit lackluster. It’s nice to see some artists for inspiration and also take a peek into their creative process. For some artists who still document their thoughts nowadays, it seems most choose to record a video of some sort.

    Blogging also reminds me of the journal my lecturers would force me to make, so maybe that’s why I’m still not too keen on doing it, but seeing some of these artists’ blogs, I see why it could be a good thing to keep some sort of documentation to the artistic process
