blog bio
The purpose of this blog is to alert avid readers from the Oregon College of Art and Craft community of some of our personal favorites from the library and to foster an online community around discussing interesting reads and related resources.
Thanks Kevin for liking my blog. I LOVE illustrators and that is what you will mostly see photos of (unless I put a personal photo or two online). Big hug, Deborah
Great, Thanks Deb! We love illustrators too. We’ll keep checking your posts periodically. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
I totally agree – the library does have a great mission. The ‘explore pathways between digital and analog worlds’ statement feels very relevant, as this is something I am also exploring in my work – making analogue records of digital information. The ideas of archiving, collaboration and collecting images are all aspects I am investigating and I will enjoy exploring the site further – particularly the geology prints/images.
Thank you for making a connection – What an excellent and egalitarian resource with a really interesting philosophy. I look forward to more browsing through the catalogue and to visiting your blog.
With my best wishes
Joanne
Glad you enjoyed the post, Joanne. I look forward to check out your work on your blog. It sounds intriguing!
Joanne or Kevin,
I would like to know more about the ‘explore pathways between digital and analog worlds’ statement. What is that?
By the way Kevin, thanks for liking:

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for liking my blog post. Your blog has great content. In under two minutes I’ve added The Object of Labor to my reading list, and am planning a visit to the Reanimation Library, which happens to be in my neighborhood, of all places. Keep up the good work.
all the best,
Matthew
Thanks, Matthew, and you’re welcome! I’m jealous that you’ll be able to visit the Reanimation Library. You’ll have to come back and tell us about your experience! Best, Kevin
Thanks for the thumbs up, Kevin, I hope to be always amazed by the capacity for connections at wordpress.
I’ll keep looking in to the blog.
Cheers
David
Thanks, David!
Thanks Kevin for visiting my blog and for the “like”.
Cheers
Mathias
You’re welcome. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for liking my blog Kevin. I love to draw and it’s great getting my drawings seen and appreciated
Rose
Thank you, Rose. I’ve been enjoying your drawings a lot. Best, Kevin.
Hey Kevin – Thanks so much for liking my posts. What a great blog you’re doing.
Thanks, boomerontario, and keep up the great work! I’ve been enjoying your work a lot. Best, Kevin
Thanks for the like, Kevin. “The nature of craft is transdisciplinary…” – connections and links like yours prove how true that is!
That’s an interesting thought! Thanks, John. Keep up the great illustration work. I really enjoyed seeing your sketchwork from August especially. Best, Kevin.
kevin, thanks for your ‘like’! so nice of you to stop by my blog
Hi Michelle. You’re Welcome! And welcome to the library’s blog. I hope you stop by again. Best.
Cheers Kevin,
Many thanks for checking out my blog post on Artful Interiors & Baby Dolls.
I don’t know how you found it in this crowded and ever growing blogasphere.
Hi, lovelydiggs, I’m not sure how I came across your blog either. Serendipity I suppose. The best kind of surprise. Best, Kevin.
Hey Kevin, thanks for liking my post… much appreciated. The work you’re doing here is great… library resources are so important especially in the arts and crafts which continue to suffer from underfunding, etc… but I’m sure you know all about that.
So thanks again

Thanks, Dawn. I appreciate it. BTW: your sculptures are awesome!
Thank you for the like Kevin – and I enjoyed reading about the Reanimation Library! (and wandering around on your site). Katy
Your welcome and thanks to you too. Glad you’ve enjoyed the site!
What a great blog. I’ve just subscribed and look forward to more.
Thanks, Elena!

Have fun.
Bill
Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it. It’s always great to hear how people are responding to the blog. Best.

what a great idea and resource.
p.s. thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hi Madisoncary, Thanks! Right back at ya! Keep up the great work!
Hi Kevin, thanks for liking my post. I’m relatively new to this blog thing, and am enjoying seeing what’s out there.
Hi eyespider, you’re welcome. I’m also fairly new too, but it’s a lot of fun to explore what other people are blogging about. Best.
wonderful blog–and thanks for liking my recent post, Kevin. If you’re in Seattle in Dec, hope you’ll drop by–I’m so pleased that my new work finally has a foot in both the word and image world–I’m a writer and visual artist but have never been able to make the two worlds coexist in a way I liked. Libraries save lives, thanks again so much!
Thanks, Cass!!!
Thanks for multiple likes. I’ll have to make notes of your preferences to expand my reading list.
Your site is fantastic (hence the multiple likes). Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin
Hi Kevin, thanks for liking my recent posts at typologica.com. Judging by the quality of your blog, it is a compliment.
I hope this will be the start of an interesting, extended conversation between us!
Hi Shani, Thanks! You’re very kind. I’ve enjoyed exploring your site too and I look forward to reading your future posts! best, Kevin
Thank you Kevin. Is there a way we can be notified when you make new posts? I love the idea of your blog.
Hi! yes there is a way to subscribe. On the right hand column below the logo, there is a link to “sign up” for email notices. Thanks for your interest! Best, Kevin.
Kevin, Thanks for liking my “Birch” abstract. Your site is very interesting. Glad to have found it!
D. Pomeroy
Hi D! I really enjoyed your piece, “Birch”. Keep up the great work. I’m sure I’ll check out what you’ve been up to periodically. Best.
Thank you for liking my latest post “High Cotton”. It’s good to know it’s getting seen!
http://brettwinnart.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/high-cotton/
Great blog you have here!
You’re welcome and thanks for checking out our blog. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the “like” on my blog post about the terra cotta warriors in Xi’an. I’ve been browsing around your site — very nice! I see that the OCAC is in Portland, right? A few weeks ago I got back from a visit to Madrid and Barcelona, and someone said to me, “Oh, I love Barcelona! It reminds me of Portland.” Hm. You and your colleagues can ponder that comparison — any resemblance between the two?
Thanks again,
Tom Reeder
Hi, Tom! Yes, I loved the terra cotta warriors in Xi’an! Truly fascinating. And yes, OCAC is in Portland, but I can’t say if it’s anything like Barcelona. I’ve never been there, but, somehow I suspect the resemblance would be faint. I’ll ask some of my peers what they think. Thanks again. Best, kevin.
Thanks Kevin for your ‘like’. It’s an encouragement for newby like me! P.S. Liked the portrait and will investigate the OCAC site further (shame I live so far away …).
You’re very welcome. It’s been a lot of fun for me to discover what others are blogging about out there. Your blog is no exception. Many thanks.
Thank you for liking my blog. I love OCAC and eat at your cafe often and go see the gallery. I really think Intuitive Painting should be taught in all the art schools and hope someday it will be. It is one place where art comes totally from the person with no outside techniques or agendas proposed on them. Truly and expression of personal creative spirits from within. Look forward to following your blog. Would be fun to meet being we both live in Portland. Thanks again.
Hi Carolyn! Your blog is terrific. I’ve really enjoyed checking out all the paintings. They’re beautiful. Best, Kevin
Thanks for you “like” Kevin – how did you come across my blog? I think I may be missing out on something key here on WordPress….
You’re welcome! I came across your blog when I was browsing blogs tagged under “art”. Thanks for checking out our site!
Hi Kevin, thank-you for liking my website/blog http://www.dawnbdwyer.com Since you enjoy words and language perhaps you can come up with a great Title for one of my new paintings that is almost complete or perhaps some of your readers may have a good idea too. I don’t want to put it all on you … ha ha.
I would love to know what you feel and what is your reaction to it … good or bad, I am looking for a critique not necessarily a pat on the back. That is how I grow as an artist.
If you can add books to your collection, I just met a very interesting lady (Melinda Bates) while on a cruise in Hawaii. Her book is not necssarily written like an experienced author but the story and content is amazing. The White House Story aka Clintonista by Melinda Bates The book is on Amazon. I heard her speak 5 times while on the cruise and met with personally a couple of evenings. Her insider stories of the White House are personal and revealing on what really goes on in the most famous house in the country.
Hi Dawn, thanks for the book tip! I’ll check it out. I’m not sure what you should call your painting (titles are so often difficult!), but if I think of something, I’ll let you know. Best, Kevin.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work, Kevin. Keep up the good work.
You Too! Your illustrations are great!
Thank you for coming by ! Love your blog
Right back at ya, isabellart! Keep up the great work!
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for swinging by my blog a second time round; it’s nice to know readers have patience for more than 500 words, and I’ve added OCAC to my RSS feeds. I hope to make it to Portland sometime in the next year or two, and have been interviewing a local artist for the craft section. When that’s over, do you want to chat about guest-posting on each other’s blogs or something?
Thanks,
Jordan
PS–nice to see Deer Tick on your homepage. Great band!
Hey Jordan! Your blog is fantastic. I love cribbage. Not sure about guest posting for now, but we can talk about it in the future if you’re still interested. And, yes, Deer Tick is super great band. Nice to meet a fellow fan. Best.
Kevin – thanks for the like on my decotel blog. PS check out the blog of a friend that I think you might like: http://www.thejealouscurator.com/blog/
Hey thanks for the referral to your friend’s blog. It looks interesting!
Thanks Kevin for visiting my blog, Big Wild Heart. More power, too, to your blogging. I am exploring your archives….
Right back at ya. I’ve been enjoying your blog as well. Best!
Kevin, the fact that somebody who knows what he is doing actually “liked” something I posted is, well, pretty dang cool.
I have never had art or photo classes. All I did one day was determine that I would start posting pictures taken with my iPhone4 instead of losing them. That decision has made me think through my shots a little more, especially since people around the world will be looking at them. Too bad it’s not a career – it could be fun.
Your pictures are pretty good for someone who hasn’t had any formal training. Keep up the great work!
Don’t know how you found my blog, but am glad as I now have seen yours. I’m a big believer in supporting your local art scene as well as believing libraries are one of the most valuable assets of any community. From one supporter to another.
Jane Willson

I must have come across your blog as I was going down the rabbit hole of the blogosphere. Glad to hear you support your local art scene and believe in libraries! You’re not alone! Thanks again. Best, Kevin.
Thank you so much for the like! I’ve been checking out your posts also. Quite interesting.
You’re welcome! I’ve been enjoying your work. Best, Kevin.

Hey Kevin,
Thanks for checking in to my blog! This looks wicked too -I’ve heard only good things about Portland! Becca Rose
Hi Becca, You’re welcome! Your blog is great. I look forward to reading more posts. Best.
Kevin – Great stuff lurking here. I particularly like the Reanimation Library. That’s a time suck, right there.
And thanks for the Like
Hey The 1955 Hudson, You’re welcome, and, you’re right: the reanimation library is a huge time suck. I’ve spent more than one lunch hour checking it out.
Hey Kevin,
Ditto on the like to my blog as well. Boy you sure get around.
Love the arts and crafts, love Oregon, and really appreciate a blogger who supports another blogger.
Cheers,
Dana
Cheers to you too! Thanks Dana!

Thanks for stopping by at BrainCaviar. Love the site here!
Hi Claudia, You’re welcome! Keep up the great work at BrainCaviar (what a great name by the way). Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, thanks for liking my blog! I didn’t even know there was an Oregon College of Art and Craft. I went to SOSC (now SOU) in Ashland for a short time before moving back to LA, and ultimately graduated from Otis. If I’d known there was an art school in Oregon I might have stayed there! I love it up there and visit about once a year. Thanks for posting great info on your site, and for your support of other bloggers
Hi Kozmique, You’re very welcome for the like. I look forward to checking out your future posts. By the way, it’s an odd coincidence, but I also went to SOSC for my undergraduate degree. How strange! Glad you like our site. Best, kevin.
Hi Kevin. I visited the reanimation library site after checking out your blog. What an amazing resource! If only there was a way of getting to New York or the USA in a flash I would be there. I spent a month there last year and only scratched the surface- so little time and so much to paint. Thanks for making it seem much closer. Cheers Sue
Hi Sue. I’m glad you liked the Reanimation Library site. We do too. Unfortunately, it’s a little far away for us to visit that often as well (Oregon being on the west coast). Anyhow, keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Hi, Kevin–just wanted to say thanks for the “likes” on my blog–much appreciated! Have a great weekend!
Hey Cat. You’re Welcome! Your blog is fantastic! Best, Kevin.

You’re welcome! And thanks for checking out our blog. I hope you find something that interests you. Nice to virtually meet you too. All the best. Kevin
Hey Kevin, I thought you might like this link. It has some historic photos of Eugene’s Saturday Market.
http://eugenesaturdaymarket.blogspot.com/2011/09/saturday-market-24-weve-got-good-bones.html
Hey Justin, Thanks for the Link. Eugene is an awesome city (as I’m sure you know). It was a lot of fun to see historic pictures of the saturday market. I especially liked the lyrics to the chorus of David the minstrel’s song. How much has really changed afterall? All the best, kevin.
Hi Kevin – Thanks for stopping by. A couple of friends of mine recently relocated to Oregon. I’m hoping to get out there for a visit soon. Looks like a great place!
Hey. You’re welcome. If you come out to Oregon (and especially Portland), you should drop by OCAC to check it out. Lunch at the Hands on Cafe (their food is amazing) and look around the gallery make for a really great break in the day! Best. Kevin
Kevin,
Thanks so much for the like! Moving to Oregon is one of my life dreams…it’s wonderful to see pictures and read about the art community in Portland. Keep up the good work!
-Abbie
Hey Abbie, You’re Welcome! Thanks for checking out our blog too! Best. Kevin.
thanks Keving for liking my blog: http://ilustradoradeprincesas.wordpress.com
I am still learning to draw and it makes me very happy to see people like my works.
I meant Kevin (without g of course)
Hey mc, You’re Welcome! I really like your drawings. Keep up the great work! And thanks for checking out our blog as well. Best. kevin
Hi Kevin, and thanks for liking my post. I love the serendipity of now being connected to all of these other great blogs, as well as the Oregon College of Art and Craft Library. Keep exploring the Universe! I am excited to read about more of your discoveries, and encouraged to keep broadcasting from Tokyo.
You’re welcome! I also love the serendipity of discovering and connecting with all kinds of people all over the globe! At first I had intended our blog to reach out and inform our students here, but it’s been a lot of fun exploring the universe and meeting new people. Thanks for checking out our blog. Best. Kevin.
Hey Kevin, cool of you to stop by my blog (I finally finished “Nile crocodile sculpture”). I’m enjoying checking out the other artists who’ve stopped back by here after you’ve noticed their work. Which causes me to ask – how do you search for and find all these artists?
Hi Mary, Glad to here you’ve finished the “Nile crocodile sculpture.” Congrats! I’m also glad to hear other artists have been checking out your work too. As far as searching, here’s one thing I do: I go to “read blogs” and create topics (or essentially keywords) of things that interest me. When I click on a topic, a stream of blogs appears that have used that term or tag. I hope that makes sense. Best. kevin
hi Kevin, I’d been wondering about that too.
Sarah
Thanks for regularly liking my posts. What term did you type in to end up at artcalling?
Hi Sarah! I can’t be absolutely sure (when I search, I use a variety of terms) but I think I found your site by searching under “painting”. I hope that helps. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thankyou Kevin for liking my blog – collage and mixed media work, stuff and nonsense that I manage to fit in between making artwork. Am currently in the middle of an open studio weekend where it poured rain on Sat and am hoping for sunshine on Sunday.
You’re welcome, Anne! I love collage and mixed media work. There’s a fair amount of artists on campus who work that way too. Good luck with your open studio weekend! Best. Kevin
Hi, Kevin.
Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my post about Keith Haring and MoMA. I’m very happy to know about your blog and I’m planning to buy “What Do Pictures Want?” very soon.
Hi Robin! Thanks for checking out our site. Keith Haring is awesome and a favorite around here at OCAC. I’ve heard there is an interesting film about his work called the World Of Keith Haring (or something like that). It’s on Netflix, but I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. Glad you liked “What Do Pictures Want?” — it’s a great book! Best. Kevin
hi there,
thanks for liking my post! i’m a newcomer here so every comment and visit gives me so much pleasure.. it’s amazing how the internet connects people living so far away from each other!
You’re Welcome! I feel the same way. It sounds a little cheesy but it’s kind of magical. Best. Kevin
Hi Kevin, thanks very much for visiting my blog and the ‘like’ for my pizza printing post
You’re welcome! Your pizza printing post was awesome. Such a great idea!
Hi Kevin,
Thanks ever so much for visiting my blog and following it, your blog is very interesting with a noble purpose.
I will be visiting with you regularly to learn from you and all who have connected with you.
Dan
Thanks, Dan. I appreciate it. The feeling is mutual! Best. Kevin
Not only are you posting some great information, you’re evidently encouraging a lot of folks like me just doing our thing! thanks!
Hey Thanks! I’m glad you feel that way. You’re very kind. We love art around here and so encouraging artists to do their thing just sort of happens by mistake – a happy mistake, of course. I’ve been really surprised how much great art is being made and blogged about. It’s been a learning experience for me too. Best. Kevin
Thanks for following my blog. Yours looks like a great resource for students and fun for the rest of us!
You’re Welcome! I look forward to checking out your future posts! Thanks for checking out our blog as well (I hope our students think it’s useful – or, at least, that’s what we try to do). Glad to know people outside of OCAC can enjoy it too! I know I’ve been enjoying checking out the blogosphere’s art scene
. Best. Kevin
Thank you for liking my blog, Kevin!

Hello Kevin – Very interesting blog with a lovely catalogue of arts website and blogs too on the library wiki and the Reanimation Library in Brooklyn looks fun to browse around too – thanks for telling folks like me about it.

What a surprise to see a notification on the photography business blog! Thank you for your interest and reading the post. We appreciate the acknowledgement in the cyber networking. “Word of mouth” is our most valuable advertising tool.

You’re welcome! I love quilts and I also love using thread as a means of drawing or painting. There are many students at our college who are interested in those kinds of works too. Thanks for checking out the blog. Best, kevin.

Hi Kathy! Thanks for checking out our blog, and, please do look us up if you’re ever in Portland or relocate here! Best, Kevin.
Thank you so much for liking my drawing. You have no idea how much that meant to me. To be honest, it was my first ‘like’ since I started the blog in November. I will try and keep posting drawings for you.
I’m surprised to hear that. You do great work. But I know it can take a long time before a blog starts getting any traffic (I think it took ours about 3 months), so don’t take it personally! Anyway, all the best with your work! Best, Kevin.
Your blog is really cool, and its funny, I’ve been to the OCAC Library. I have a friend who goes to PNCA and he let me tag along one day for a little research he was doing. Did you know that I’m from Portland??? Also, have you heard of the Geezer Gallery or the Village Frame and Gallery in Multnomah Village? My mother does mosaic art, and is in a few other galleries as well, i.e. Love-Art in Sellwood. http://www.mosaicsnw.com You should check out her work.
How funny that you’ve been to our library! That’s great. You’ll have to come on back for a visit sometime. Not sure about the galleries you mention. They sound familiar. I’ll also be happy to check out your mother’s mosiac art. Sounds cool. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin – thanks for your interest in my various blogs! Will have a browse of your site. I think of Oregon as the land of the great poet William Stafford and once attended a day in Portland celebrating his life.
Regards
Roger
Hi Roger! Thanks for checking out our blog. In many ways, Oregon still is the land of the late great poet, William Stafford, and may always be. Let’s hope so. Best, kevin.
Thanks, Kevin. You picked my favorite painting.
That’s because we have great taste!
Hi Kevin – thanks for the Likes. Thank you especially for providing such great resources and information on your blog that I can glean from! All the Best, Lazarus
You’re welcome, Lazarus! Keep up the great work! Best, kevin
Hi Kevin, Thanks for the like on my post “Artful Anxiety” at Fireblogger451. I’m glad I discovered your blog as a result — keep up the wonderful work.

A marvelous resource here! I’ll enjoy ‘moseying around’ at length, I can tell. Thanks for introducing yourself and this blog!
Thanks for liking my blog post on Magdalena Abakanowicz. I was in Chicago to give some talks about my novel “A Day of Small Beginnings.” Nice to know someone in Portland is watching a writer from LA in Chicago watching art….
By the way, Kevin, I’m one of the blogging newbies whom you’ve greatly encouraged by visiting–and, thankyouverymuch, by being my 100th ‘follower’! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the gesture, so I guess I’ll just have to demonstrate it by keeping up my efforts there. As both a word- and image-nut, you know that I think very highly of what you and the whole ‘ocaclibrary entity’ are doing!
Thanks,

Thank you for the like Kevin! I enjoy getting your updates – always wishing I lived in Portland to enjoy the tips you give.
I wondered also (if you haven’t already written about it and I missed it), if you saw my post about the mystery paper sculptures in Scotland – my 12/23/11 post has a link. The project honors libraries, words, art, and is a wonder. It seems right up your alley!

Dear Kevin,
Thanks for finding and liking my Druze Fabrics and Altered Book pages. Even tho still learning how to use this software, have enjoyed creating pages, and also enjoy getting your updates on art links around the States and Oregon. (Sometimes have nostalgia over my past art gallery in Calif…..) Have been book hunting recently for English language books (here in Israel) and enjoying it immensely….will have to do a page on that possibly! Found a VERY dusty one yesterday morning….
Greetings from Haifa!

Glad you liked my post Kevin, I’m just starting out and it’s great to get some feedback. Thanks for the opportunity to see your great site too (I especially love snowflakes!)
Thanks for liking and following my UTC blog! I’ve added the essay and intend on adding some photographs that I had taken at the Mercantile Library in Cincinnati of David Reynolds (author of “Mightier Than the Sword”) and a bust of Stowe. I also welcome suggestions for additions to the blog so it can become a kind of “one-stop shop” for UTC fans and researchers.
Also, I was prowling through your site and love it, though I have to say, I’m super jealous that I am across the country. Seems like Portland has a lot of interesting events!
Thanks for visiting Kevin,
Glad you enjoyed the place. You seem to do very good work here yourself.
A very good 2012 for you!

Hi Kevin,
Avis
Thanks for looking at and liking my blog. I’m a real novice to blogging! What did you like about it? I’m off to have a look around in your posts now
Hi Avis! I really like the triangle top design of the quilt your made – especially the juxtaposition of a relatively minimal design (the colored triangles in a white background) with the more intricacy of the ripple pattern overlaid across the top. It caught my eye. That, and, your enthusiasm for making! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thank you for clicking “like” on my blog! I’m glad you enjoyed seeing some of my creations. It’s so much fun to create things and even nicer to share them with others. Thank you!
Hi! You’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your faux collar. I’ll have to try some of your scrumptious recipes too. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin

Hi Kev, thanks for liking my post and checking it out. It’s the first one I’ve had liked by someone. Do you know of any animals that are interesting enough to be turned into clay cronies???
Hi! You’re very welcome! The clay cronies are awesome. As for animal, I would have to say a giraffe – mainly because a giraffe is my daughter’s current favorite friend. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my “Red and Green” blogpost, Kevin — I appreciate it! Although I grew up on the West coast, can you believe I have never been to Oregon? I bet I would love it there; I know you guys have your share of crafters and lots of folks living “close to the earth.” What brought you over to The Green Sheep?
Hi! You’re very welcome! Your blog is full of amazing work and it’s inspiring to read about. Love the blankets. They’re beautiful. Best, Kevin
Hi Kevin, Thanks for stopping by my blog, was a surprise, having only been set up for 2 days. Hadn’t considered anyone might read it! With a background in textile design I look forward to reading more of your blog. Kate
Hi Kate! You’re welcome! Keep up the great work. I’m sure I’ll be stopping by again soon to see what you’re up to. All the best, Kevin.
HI Kevin,
Thanks for the ‘like’ on my blog – I don’t know how you ended up there, but as a Teacher Librarian I am interested to see what you are doing with your Library blog!
Regards,
Kate
Hi Kate! You’re very welcome! I like your blog a lot – especially your knitting projects. They make me inspired to pick up the needles again and soon! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
It’s really great you noticed and liked my blog. Thanks for that! As many bloggers say here, it really gives you a proud and happy feeling when someone like you finds your blog. I hope I can keep you and your readers interested, there’s a lot more to come about art and craft.
And a small note about blogging, I would recommend it to any artist, it’s great! For my professional work as an illustrator and art painter, I use a normal website and get practically zero reactions. It gets found, but visitors watch in silence. Blogging adds the advantage of being in some kind of community, where people find you, can like you and can comment. The blog you found started out as just a hobby but became much more. I’m sure now I’ll set up a blog for my professional work, to make that accessible too.
How did you find my blog and what made you like it if I may ask? I’m excited about it and about your blog as well! I see many interesting blogs in this page.
Best wishes, Sonja.
Hi Sonja! You’re very welcome! I love all the crochet animal patterns on your blog. I have a young daughter (7 months) and, when I saw your work, I got the itch to make her a little animal too. We’ll see. In answer to how I found your blog, I believe I found it by searching for “crochet” as a keyword. Thanks for checking out our blog! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thank you for the likes on my blog. Are you a crochet fan?
You’re very welcome! We’re big crochet fans here at the Oregon College of Art. I also dabble in crochet and knitting personally as well. Thanks for checking out our blog. Best, Kevin.
Thanks for stopping by PoARTetry and liking “emflower thyself.” Oregon and books on art…does it get any better? Have a great day! erin
Hi Erin! Thanks for your comment and you’re very welcome for the “like.” I look forward to seeing more of your collage work in the future. I’ve been really enjoying it. And no, it doesn’t get better than art books and Oregon
Best, Kevin.
Nice to meet you Kevin:) Thanks for the like. And boy would I like to see your library. I almost did 20 years ago, but alas, I met the man of my dreams…..
Hi Susan! You’re very welcome. We big fans of your sculpture and look forward to following your updates! I’m also pleased that our library didn’t get in the way of true love! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
Thank s for the “likes” and popping by my blog. At the Book Museum we are great supporters of libraries of any kind. Unfortunately the UK is losing many public ones and those that remain seem to have less books and more computers and free wifi. Ho hum!
All the best and I’ll keep stopping by.
Hi! You’re most welcome! I’m sorry to hear the state of public libraries in the UK. Some in the US see our public libraries headed in the same direction, but I still hold out hope. Best, Kevin.
Thanks Kevin, for stopping by and liking my blog!
Hi Patricia! You’re Welcome! Thanks for checking us out too. Best, kevin.
Excellent blog Kevin!
And thanks so much for all your Likes on mine : )

Hi Kevin,
I was so thrilled to get a like on my post – considering that it was my very first post on my new blog! I’m amazed that anyone came across it at all. But seeing as you like crochet and knitting I had to put a new blog post up for you right away. I made a crochet cover for my bass amplifier. I am pretty sure I have to be the only person to have every done that, but I think it’s just fantastic. Maybe you’d like to check it out?!
Thanks, and this looks like a great blog you’ve got running here too.
Best regards
Hi Michelle! WOW, a crochet cover for a bass amplifier! Seriously seriously cool. I love it! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin! Thank you for the “likes” on my blog – I really appreciate it! I’m looking forward to going back through the archives here, it looks like you have a myriad of interesting things here, and so beautifully presented!
Best, Birgitte
P.S. I distinctly remember reading the OCAC course catalogue this summer (that I had picked up at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts – loved it there) at a camp site in Tillamook State Forest, so wishing I lived in Portland so I could take about a dozen or so of the classes!
Hi Birgitte! You’re very welcome for the “likes”! Big fan of your knits. I look forward to seeing your future projects! It certainly is a small world seeing how you’re in Norway and you’ve seen one of the College’s course catalogues! So cool. Thanks for the comments and the kind words about our blog. Keep in touch. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for liking my blog, Kevin!
Extraordinary embroidery : we love it. We also love it when an artist demonstrates their creative process! You do great work. Great blog. Thank you!
Thank you for the ‘like’ Kevin
It is nice to get affirmation from someone I don’t know and aren’t related to.
You’re very welcome! I’ve been enjoying your blog and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Best, Kevin.
Kevin, A belated ‘thank you’ for recording that you liked my ‘Seaweed doodle’. I apologise for they delay in conveying my appreciation.
Hi Louis! No Problem. Thanks for getting in touch and keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for popping by and liking my post, Kevin!
Great content – I’ll keep it in mind if I’m ever near Oregon!
You’re welcome! I love your comics. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my post Kevin. And I love the Library Love post. Just shared it with my son and my FB friends. Now I’m going to go read. And Knit.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed your post about the immaculate conception of the owl companions! So cute. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for liking my blog (http://destructivetesting.wordpress.com/). I’m very new at this. Is clicking on the ‘notify me or new posts by email’ the same as following a blog? I want to add a few refinements to my blog, but have to learn more about that. I’d love to have other artists see and contribute to my blog. I’d like it to be as little about ‘me’ as possible. I’m interested in why artists do what they do, and in their work spaces.
thanks, again
You’re Welcome! Your blog is great. A lot of cool artists I didn’t know about! Re: “following” verses “email”: they’re not quite the same. Following just means you’ve tagged a blog to include among a list of those you’d like to appear when you go to the “read” page and click “blogs I follow”. Once you do that, the posts those blogs have made recently will appear chronologically. That way, you don’t have to go find the blog again. Make sense? Notification by email is different. It sends you an email each time a blog posts. If you’re following several blogs, email notification can begin to overwhelm your inbox. Hope this helps. Best, kevin
Hey Kevin
Thanks for the visits to my blog and pressing the like button. It’s nice to know that there are non-knitters who stop by from time to time
You’re welcome, Keri! We’re big knitting fans here – some of us even dabble a bit.
Best, Kevin
Again thanks for liking my blog I liked the JL qoute…
You’re very welcome, Richard. Thanks for the kind word about our recent quote post. I appreciate it. Best, Kevin
thank you. If I ever get back out to Portland, I know one resource to check. Mike
You’re welcome, Mike! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Kevin, for liking my blog. I appreciate the support for my work.
You’re Welcome! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.

You’re so so welcome! I Love the vintage patterns. So cool. Thanks! –Kevin
Trying again to see if my gravatar is working.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for clicking like on my oil pastel painting … Field of Flowers.
I really like your gravatar photo which alternates with a lively sketch. This is an interesting site.
Evelyn
You’re welcome! Great painting! About my gravatar: the sketch is by another blogger Artboy68. He has an amazing 100 portrait project going. Check it out: http://artboy68project.wordpress.com/

Hi OCAC. Thank you for the nomination, belatedly! Links back to you are here: http://peachfarmstudio.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/thank-you-you/ Cheers and happy blogging!
You’re welcome! We love your blog! All the best, Kevin.
Thanks for the “like.”
You’re very welcome! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for checking out my blog post today! I enjoyed looking over your entries – I’ll be visiting again!
You’re welcome! My wife and I had our first child, Ingrid, seven months ago . . . so I could totally relate to what you’re talking about! Best, Kevin.
Kevin,
Thanks for clicking that little “like” button on my blog
I think what you’re doing here is fantastic!
I’m reading your review on Dash Snow right now… pretty curious to check that out now.
-David
You’re Welcome! The “please stand by” comic is absolutely hilarious! Keep up the great work. I look forward to more. Best, Kevin.
Kevin,
I just wanted to thank you so much for the support that you are showing my blog:) It feels really good to have positive responses to my blog, especially just starting out. It is a great honor to get likes and to be followed by a seasoned and talented blogger like yourself! Thanks for the encouragement:)
Most sincerely
karen
Hey Karen! You’re welcome! I’ve been enjoying following your blog and all your projects! They’re fantastic! I’m impressed that you can work within so many different disciplines/mediums. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Just want to thank you guys for your interest. It’s weird but medium wonderful that freewheeling thoughts from West Wales can resonate with folks in Oregon. As you may have seen, my interest in modern art is kindof caught up in my ruminations upon rugby/football etc. But feel free to check me out now and again for sincere and generally colourful opinion on Miro/Van Gogh/Hirst/who knows who?
Good luck and thank you

You’re very welcome! The serendipitous connections across the globe never cease to tickle me. So glad to meet you and thanks for reaching out. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, I’m honored that you are following my blog. It will take me forever to go through your other ‘likes’, etc. But, I plan to start working on that. I’m very interested in what other artists are doing, what their work spaces are like, and WHY they do what they do.
I’d appreciate any constructive criticism about my blog. I only started this on New Years Day, and still have a lot to learn about the technical part, although mostly just making it easy to use and navigate.
Do you get paid for doing this?? I’m only asking because my daughter is considering taking her Masters in Library Science, and she would be surprised that this is something that librarians do now.
thanks, Mike
Hey Mike, Yes blogging is definitely something that librarians do now as part of library services. Especially public libraries. Actually all the social networking tools (e.g., twitter, facebook, etc) are part of the modern day’s library toolkit. It’s a brave new world. Best, Kevin.
Art, artists, and Oregon…sigh. I love Oregon and miss my art days. Thanks for stopping by Kevin…
M
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment and please stop by again sometime! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin.

Ha! You’re welcome and count on it. Best, Kevin.
thank you Kevin
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by our blog! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking one of my posts. Oh, Oregon…used to live there and still have good friends there. Miss the beauty of that gorgeous state!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by. Best, Kevin
Thanks so much for taking a look at my humble little space! I’m enjoying filling it up with simple and beautiful art. I foresee many late-night hours now being spent browsing around this lovely blog. You have a deep little rabbit hole here! Hope to hear from you in the future!
All the best ~ Corey

Thank you for liking my blog, Kevin. I’ve just gone “public” with my art this week, after a few futile attempts to blog in the past. Your site is delicious, I’ll be perusing it in depth.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for checking out our blog too. I look forward to seeing more of your future “public” posts. Best, Kevin.
Kevin,
Thank you so much for liking my post. It was gratifying for me, especially having just come home from the studio. Such generous support is what keeps me making art.
Your blog is quite the resource. I was excited to see a ceramics book (# 39.) on your list and will be sure to check it out at my own library. The valuable information you post here is sure to inspire me in the future!
Since I am new to blogging I am tempted to ask: how did you come across my blog? Feedback would be most helpful for my generation of an online presence.
Thank you again!
Best,
Olivia
Hi Olivia! You’re very welcome. Great work and Great blog! I think I came across your site by going to “read blogs” and using the keyword “art”. Hope that helps! Best, Kevin.

Thanks for stopping by the Rowanberry Studio blog – glad you liked it! I have been looking through your posts – lots of great stuff here, and links to follow up on as well. I particularly appreciate the links to all of the ceramic artists on the “Breaking the Mould” page.
You’re welcome! I’m looking forward to reading more from your blog. Glad you like the “Breaking the Mould” post. There are a lot of amazing artists in that book who more people should be aware of. I hope in some small way I’ve helped. Thanks again! Best, Kevin.

Hi, Kevin.
Thanks so much for liking my blog. What an amazing resource you’ve created! I wish I could visit your incredible library in person, but there’s that whole Northern Hemisphere / Southern Hemisphere thing to contend with… Ah, well, I guess I’ll just put you on my list of People And Places To Visit When Money Falls From The Sky.
Cheers,
Kate
Ha! I think I’m going to start my own list of People and Places To Visit When Money Falls From the Sky!! Thanks for stopping by. Best, Kevin
Hello Kevin! It was great to have you visit my “open window”. Hope to see you again at juliafeitoamao, and… as soon as summer is over (in Brazil) I will finally have the chance to give a closer look at the wonderful material you make available. Thanks !
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog too. Right now in Portland, Oregon in the US, the winter rains are upon us and with no end in sight. I hope you’re having a great summer in Brazil. Just the thought of summer in Brazil cheered me up
.Thanks! Best, Kevin.
Wow, so I suppose one could say that you enjoy my pottery. At this point, I almost feel that you are ‘liking’ every post just to spite me…silly rabbit. I appreciate that my work has tickled your fancy. I’m in love with it myself.
When I am not lingering in my studio, I am usually buried in a book; therefore, I have tremendous gratitude for individuals, such as yourself, that are also absorbed in the literary realm.
Wishing you happy thoughts. Arr, pirate rose <3
Your pottery is awesome! I’m a huge fan and look forward to seeing more of it. Big thanks for stopping by! Best, Kevin.

You’re welcome! We’re always happy to support great work! A great box of everything… I like that! I think the main way of finding sites is through serendipity and following the rabbit down the rabbit hole.

Thanks, Mike! Really appreciate it! Best, Kevin.
hi kevin from oregon. thank you for the ‘like’ on my post, it’s very much appreciated.
Hi mountaintooth from england! You’re very welcome. I really like your work. I’m excited to see more of it posted on your blog in the future. use of line, color, the grid, patch-work patterns, etc, make for an interesting dynamic experience, implying space and movement at the same time…at least that is what grabs me right off. Thanks! Best, Kevin.
well that means a lot.
night night from england.
ps. i think all art school libraries should have blogs. well done oregon!
Thanks for checking out my blog! I basically grew up in a library so this blog has really peeked my interest. I wish we had a community like this where I live. If I am ever in Portland I will definitely check out this blog to find something interesting things to do!

Thank you for liking my post- It is my first, as I have only just begun blogging! Your blog makes me want to fly out to Portland and go to an event or two! I do like having someplace that interesting books, movies and shows are explored. I shall have to check back in to see what else you are exploring!
You’re welcome! Keep up the great work! I always like reading about what artists are making but also about what they’re thinking/feeling/etc during the process. Happy blogging! Best, Kevin.
With today’s technology and our society’s obsession with instant gratification, I’m just pleased to see that there are others out there trying to keep others informed about handcrafted expressions of art and creativity. However, that technology keeps me so much closer to other artistic people, that I’ll keep it. =)
Thanks for visiting my blog, btw. Hope to have you visit again soon!
Hi Dana! Excellent point! I think about the intersection between craft and technology a lot. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive, but, as you say, linked in a way that can help support both efforts. Thanks for stopping by! Best, Kevin.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Kevin! You have a great resource here! I am an avid reader, and love philosophy and theory as much as the practical (though as a new student of art my blog will mostly focus on the technical, learning from mistakes, fun exploration, and general everyday practice). I’ll come back here regularly to dig through some of the articles and book references. Keep it up!
Thanks, Elizabeth! Look forward to reading about your experience in art school! Best, Kevin.
thanks kevin for liking my blog post. I do like your blog and the whole project behind it. BTW: end of february I’m gonna graduate from berlin school of library and information science, so I’m also interested in your project from the point of view of an library scientist.

Hi Kevin. Like all the other people before me I just wanted to thank you for ‘Liking’ my blog. I only started it this week after a couple of years of putting it off. I’m interested in how you found me and all the other blogs?
Thanks
You’re Welcome! We’re big fans of makers from all over and enjoy reading about what people are up to. I can’t recall exactly how I found your blog, but I imagine I found it by searching under the label “craft” in wordpress’s “read blogs” feature. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thank you for liking my blog.
You’re Welcome! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog as well. I hope you found something here of interest. Keep up the great work! I look forward to reading your future posts. Best, Kevin.
Thanks so much for connecting artists and illustrators. On one of your visits to my blog, you may have seen that I’ll be coming to Portland in April. I’m available to give a presentation about my work, so please let me know if you’d like me to come to the library or other location at the college.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog! From your blog it looks like “Pocketful of Poesies” has been a hit! Congratulations! I wish our library had the space for artist presentations, but unfortunately we’re a very small library and can’t hold events right now. If you’re interested in giving a talk at OCAC, get in touch with our Director of Public Programs, MaryAnn Deffenbaugh. Her contact can be found here: http://ocac.edu/#/about-ocac/people/staff/
Thanks again for stopping by. Good luck with your exhibition! Best, Kevin.
Hey Kevin!
Thanks for the likes on our posts. We’re new to the game so it was a great thing to see. I hope your “Reel Nordic Film Night” was a grand success, it is definitely something we would have loved to attend. We enjoy our fair share of Nordic films, usually of the horror/fantasy variety. “Rare Exports” from Finland by Jalmari Helander and “Troll Hunter” from Norway by André Øvredal are a couple of favourites. Thanks again for the likes!
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog as well. Also, thanks for the film recommendations. My knowledge of nordic filmmakers begins and ends with Ingmar Bergman. I’ll have to look into Jalmari Helander and André Øvredal! Thanks! Best, Kevin.
It was delightful that someone outside my personal art support group has visited my new blog. Thank you for stopping by and ‘liking’ my entry, Kevin. I will check out ocaclibrary more soon. Cheers.

Thank you for liking my posts! As a wannabe fiber artist who attempted to go to grad school for library science (it didn’t work out) I find the thought of the library at an art and crafts college quite fascinating. (If only I didn’t live so far away so I could see the contents!) Got any advice for someone looking to take another crack at a MA, this time in studio art+fiber?
You’re welcome! Your blog is fantastic. I wish I knew more about MA programs in fiber arts, so I could give you a recommendation. My advice would be to look up contemporary fiber artists that you admire and see where/if they teach. Since you’ll be working closely with the faculty, it’s important to find a place that is a good fit for your interests. Hope that helps. Good luck with your search! Best, Kevin.
Thanks again for liking my post, Kevin.
You’re welcome! Keep up the great work, magicinthewoods! Best, Kevin.

You’re welcome! I’ve always loved that painting by Van Gogh! It was really interesting to read his letter too. Gives new insight into his life. Thank you! Best, Kevin.
Your welcome
Thank you David!
You’re welcome! Thanks for visiting! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the ‘like’ on my blog today. An added bonus is that I had no idea OCAC had a blog. It’s in my Reader. Thanks!

Hi Lisa! You’re very welcome! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Best, Kevin.

You’re welcome! Thanks for posting such a thoughtful text about Winslow Homer’s “Cotton Pickers”. I’ve always had a special affinity for Homer’s work. Looking forward to reading your future posts. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for following my Blogg at http://jennysserendipity.wordpress.com/
Me too
Thanks for coming by my painting blog. Being a non-American, I have no familiarity at all with your college, but it looks like it’s very active judging from all the comments. Best wishes.
You’re Welcome! I love your landscapes! They’re beautiful. Also thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog as well. Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more of your work. Best, Kevin.
I don’t know how you found my blog, but thank you. I am doing a collection of watercolors on the Sun Valley, Idaho area with the intent of working them into a children’s book. Your my first “LIKE” !! And, now I learn of an entire local community devoted to art and craft.
That sounds like a fantastic project! Good luck, Kathleen! I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for stopping by! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin – Thanks for stopping by my blog! I like your gravatar!
You’re welcome! Good luck with your art class. It sounds like fun! Thanks for the kind words about my gravatar. I can’t take credit for it. It was created by another wordpress blogger for his 100 portraits project. Check it out: http://artboy68project.wordpress.com/tag/artboy68/
Thanks for visiting! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
I’m glad you like my post, it enabled me to follow you here and discover that there is in fact an MFA in applied craft and design – post grad study, here I come!
Hi! You’re welcome! Cool blog, by the way. Glad to hear you’re interested in the MFA in applied craft and design program. It’s amazing. Really. I encourage you to check out their site (http://acd.pnca.edu/) to find out more about it and read their blog to get a feel for what the program is like. Best, Kevin.
I very much appreciate that you stop by my site cloudknitting. I’m not sure if it’s the photography or the knitting that drew you to visit – and thanks so much for taking the time to punch the old like button! By following your site, it has drawn me to visit other people as well. Thanks for that as well.
You’re welcome! Your blog is great. A lot of beautiful handknits! But I also sense a strong creative community at work and at play there. It’s always great to hear about people getting together around craft and how craft can bring people together. Like us
Best, Kevin
Thanks so much for cruising through my blog. I’m enjoying searching through your posts as well! Up here in Edmonton, Alberta we have 2 major craft events. The Royal Bison and Handmade Mafia. They are great events and there are oodles of crafters up here!
You’re welcome! My pleasure. Nice to meet you! The Royal Bison and Handmade Mafia sound awesome! They may have the greatest names for craft events that I’ve ever encountered! Thanks for visiting! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for visiting my latest blog and ‘liking’ it. I’m interested in illustrated books and where I can, collect them. Just bought one illustrated by Tony Sarg. I’d never heard of him but loved his illustrations. Turns out he was quite famous.
Every book tells a story …

Thanks for liking our little blog, Kevin. We appreciate it.

Hey there dear Kevin – thank you for liking my bottlenose dolphin sculpture. Good news! I’m getting my very own kiln – to be delivered this Friday – yeah! By next week I hope to start bisque firing.
Hi Mary! You’re welcome! And congrats about the kiln. I’m excited to see the new work that comes from it. Best, Kevin.
Hi, Kevin Thank you very much for liking my post. I suspect you are interested in pottery? I explored your blog. Very nice blog!
Hi! You’re welcome! We’re big fans of ceramics but it is also pretty great to see what it’s like to live where you are. Thanks for commenting! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin
Thanks for liking my post.
I’m surprised and happy that you found my blog, but that is one of the good things about the blogdom; it links us from the north of BC with the centre of the arts in Oregon. And to all the different artspeople on your comments section.
I love books and admire those that work with them. A library always feels like home to me.
Hi! You’re very welcome! It’s always great to meet a neighbor from the north! I’ve spent a good deal of time in BC (my wife’s family is from there) and it is not only beautiful but it abounds with many talented craftsman and artists! We recently acquired a book title, “Thrown,” that talks about the ceramicists in the BC area. It’s great! Thanks for visiting and for commenting. Nice to meet you. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for liking my story ‘Flase Start’ – my attempt at breaking through the dreaded writer’s block! I hope you get chance to drop by again as I put more stories up. I was just reading your Library Love post and thought you might be interested in this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2012/feb/08/beautiful-bookshop-worlds-finest-your-favourites
You’re welcome! And thanks for the link about other beloved libraries
! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
I mean False Start – oh dear!
Hi Kevin, thanks for stopping by and liking my blog http://capturedontherye.wordpress.com/
I only published my embryo site last week and haven’t told anyone about it yet, so congratulations for ever finding it.
I was interested to note a theme of analogue output of digital media in the above comments, which fascinates me.
I derive screen prints from digital photographs which involves the craft and skill of the maker and makes the output inherently more human, more valuable, less easy to infinitely and identically reproduce.
I have looked in awe at the extensive and labrynthine nature of your own endeavours and can only congratulate you on your aims and efforts at producing such a resource.
Thanks again.
Thanks, Lou! You’re very kind. I’m looking forward to seeing more work by you in the future! You’re off to a great start. Best, Kevin.
thanks for liking my blog…i am truly greatful for everyone who stops by to share in my thoughts…

Cheers!

Hi Sherman! You’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your Metropolis and Manifestations photos. Beautiful work! Thank you for stopping by. Best, Kevin.
Hej Kevin,
thank you for liking my posts! I appreciate every visitor’s likes or comments very much. It’s at the same time weird and fantastic to connect with people in that way.
Hi Heike! You’re welcome. The hand quilting on your amish quilt is absolutely stunning! I love how from a distance it looks like simple squares inside squares, but then at closer inspection, the patterns of the hand quilting are quite elaborate, skillful, and beautiful. It’s a nice juxtaposition. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the excellent work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks as always for supporting my blog!! Windykai.com!
You’re welcome! I really like your mixed media work! Keep it up. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Best, Kevin.
Kevin, hi, we so often find ourselves liking the same posts you do and it’s always a great pleasure when we find you’ve liked ours. Such a small thing clicking a like button but so very encouraging. Thank you.
Excellent resources on your library blog; congrats on getting the information out here for us all to share.
Best wishes,
Miles and Pippa
Hi Miles and Pippa! You’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your blog as well! I also just realized we have something else in common: we’ve both been picked by artboy68 for 100 portraits project! So cool. Thanks for stopping by and all the best to you too. Kevin.
Thanks, Kevin for reading and following my blog. So nice to know about you and what you do. I will be stalking out your blog. It’s always great to find like minded people.
Happy Wednesday,

Hi Kevin
Thanks for the like on my Scarf of doom post. I am glad you enjoyed it. I have just clicked to follow your wonderfull blog as it’s fascinating ,and look forward to having a good read .
Kindest Regards
Cate
Hi Cate! Nice to meet you! Thanks for visiting our blog as well! I’m a big fan of crochet and am very impressed with your work! Look forward to seeing more of it in the future. Also, “cloudy with a chance of crochet” is an awesome title! Best, kevin.
Why thank you , I wanted it to be a bit different from other titles. Do you crochet yourself ? it’s very theraputic and it relaxes me. I am pretty new to it though, but am really enjoying it. I prefer freeform crochet rather than using a pattern so you can bet you’ll be seeing some pretty mad designs along the way.
Kindest regards
Cate
Thank you for liking!
I will keep an eye on your blog!

I think you may be onto something there! Thanks for visiting! Best, Kevin.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for liking my blog. Being a new to wordpress, I’m not quite sure yet how things work. I had to access your page through my email. Do you know how to view others profiles and blogs without having to logout of wordpress?
Hi! You’re welcome! You have a great blog. Keep it up! As far as viewing other blogs: if you hover over the wordpress icon in the top left corner, a pull down menu will appear, then click on “read blogs” and you can start searching from there! Good luck. Best, Kevin
Thanks for the “like”, Kevin. There were not many art venues where I could exhibit my assemblages when I was active in the art community. Blogging is a great way to show them.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you’ve found blogging to be a nice way to share your work. I know I certainly appreciate it! Keep it up! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my latest efforts Kevin. It’s nice to know I get visitors on occasion!

Hi Kathy! You’re welcome! I really enjoy your work. Keep it up! Best, Kevin.
I’m glad to see you enjoyed my sweater vest essay – thanks for reading! You blog looks like a great creative commons resource!
Hi Erin! You’re welcome! I enjoyed your sweater vest post a lot! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin. I wanted to say thank you for liking my posts before browsing through your blog…I have a tendency to get distracted and forget my manners. It was nice to get the “like” notice. My blog has been more like walking in the shadows of an alleyway…mostly unnoticed. Looking through just these comments gives me the impression that there’s a lot of ‘alleyways’ on which you shine a flashlight.
All the best to you,
Jeanne
Ha! Yes, many alleyways … always a pleasure to see what various artists are doing and especially when there’s a discussion of the art-making process! Thanks for visiting and for the comment! Keep up the great work on your blog! Best, Kevin.
God bless you Kevin for all the encouragement you hand out to so many, many people.
Thanks, Mary! You’re very kind. It is a lot of fun to see what various artists are up to and to follow their progress! Thanks for visiting and for the kind kind comment. All the best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my post, Kevin. I am curious as to how you found me (search criteria, keywords, etc.). Let me know if you can.
I’ll revisit here and let my Portland friends know about you.
You’re welcome! I think I stumbled upon your blog by browsing blogs under the topic, “art.” I use several others to keep track of posts that relate to the interests of the OCAC community (so many!), but I’m pretty sure that is how I found your site. Keep up the great work! And big thanks for spreading the word about our blog! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for visiting my blog Onelifethislife! Please feel free to stop by anytime!
You’re welcome! And I will stop by again. Such beautiful photographs! Thank you. Best, Kevin.
Thank you very much for your interest in my work Kevin. I love your mission and am looking forward to reading more over the coming months.

Hi, Catherine! You’re welcome! Love your fiber art! Keep up the great work. All the best, Kevin.
Thank you for liking a post from my blog.
You’re welcome! I love the photograph for “kissing her”. Great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for the visit. My aunt is a librarian and I wish in China I was able to have that luxury (they have them, but the books are in Chinese!). Cheers-
You’re welcome! I enjoyed your photographs of Boracay! I was not familiar with that place before. It looks amazing! We’ve had drizzle and cloud cover in Portland, OR for quite a while now … seeing images of a tropical island was a refreshing break another gray day.
Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin – I have no idea how you found my little blog, but I’m glad you liked it! It’s been fun working with my daughter on this. She’s only 8, but I’m so proud of her work!
Hi! It is always great to see people engaging children in the arts! Thank you for sharing your and your daughter’s work! All the best, Kevin.
Thank you for the many positive thumb gestures, your recent visits are greatly appreciated.
Hi Scott! You’re welcome! Keep up the great work! I look forward to following your future posts. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I´ll be posting a drawing everyday, I checked your blog and it´s quite interesting, I feel like my country is falling behind the arts… well, I feel this blog is like a showcase of a very active art community. It´s very nice, congratulations!
Hi Chivus! Cool! I look forward to more drawings! Keep up the great work and thanks for the kind words about our blog! I appreciate it. Best, Kevin.
It’s nice every now and then to see a library or a institution using social media and web platforms in a meaningful and productive way. Great job. : )
Thanks! It’s sometimes hard to tell if our blog is having any impact (or if there’s more we could do about that). I appreciate the compliment and the encouragement. Thank you. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my post @ Daytime Fireworks..

Thank you Kevin for appreciating the Spirit of art inspiration, whatever form it takes.
You’re welcome! Inspiration is not only essential to the art-making process, but probably the most allusive, often serendipitous, and what makes it so fun! Thanks for commenting! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for support. Always nice to get. Liked the story on Alex Randall. Makes me want to see more.
You’re very welcome! I love your work! And I look forward to following your progress. Best, Kevin.

I had never heard of the Oregon College of Art and Craft until you dropped by.
Thanks!
Joy
Hi Joy! you’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your work and I look forward to seeing more in the future. OCAC is an extremely special place. If you’re ever in the area, consider stopping by! Best, Kevin.
Kevin, thank you for liking my Zim and Zou-Wow! post and many other posts; I love your WP support!
How’s it going in Oregon?
Hi! You’re very welcome! I love book arts and paper art! It doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves, so I’m always pleased to see someone who is making an effort to remedy that. You might consider checking out our Book Arts Department’s new blog: http://ocacbookarts.blogspot.com/ There are a lot of great student projects posted there! Best, Kevin.
How much we can learn every day
True. That’s partly why I love being a librarian. I’m constantly learning something new from the students and people researching in the library! Thanks for the comment! Best, Kevin.
I saw I had a ‘like’ from someone called Kevin, so of course I had to follow the piece of string! Thank you, by the way. Now for a cuppa and a settle-in to have a good rummage around your blog.

Hi Kevin, I’m glad you liked my Anamnesis picture. I like it too and hopefully won’t be the last of its kind! but it’s been only recently that I got seriously involved with digital art, so I guess I’ll be experimenting for a while until I find my own way. Interesting blog you’ve got here!

Neil
Hi Neil! You’re welcome! I really like you work! I look forward to seeing more of it as time goes by. And, you’re right about the Celtic blood. Both sides of my family hail from Wales. Mostly coal miners. We came over to the US in 1905. My wife’s family is a mix of Swedish and Irish folks. Paddy’s day is a great holiday for us – mainly because it’s the only time of the year I can usually count on a corn-beef and cabbage feast! Have a great holiday and keep in touch. Best, Kevin.

Kevin,
Thanks for checking out my blog and liking my scarf. I’m new to this and love it people other than my family like my stuff!! It also appears that we share a love of books.

Thank you for liking my posts.

Unfortunately, I am no where near the US, let alone Oregon (I hope I got that right, I don’t know much about the geography of US).
But you have some interesting posts about reads and books and I’ll definitely come here regularly.
Hi! You’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your embroidery work! Can’t wait to see your future projects. And, yes, you got the geography right. Oregon is on the west coast along the Pacific ocean between Washington State and California. Thanks for commenting and for all the kind words! Best, Kevin.
Hello Kevin, I appreciate you checking out my blog. I love libraries, they were my first launch into the career world many moons ago. It’s one of my favorite places to go. I sure hope they don’t all go virtual one day. I’m still a traditional book lover and love the arts. Thanks.
Hi Martina! Always a pleasure to meet another library fan and book lover. Keep up the great work on your blog! Best, Kevin.

Thanks for your like——-hope you’ll pass the picture created by that 11 year old boy to friends. the more people that become aware of the work done by Ezer Mizion, the more kids like Udi we can help. i cannot begin to imagine the feelings of Ezer Mizion staff and volunteers on the day they came on their regular rounds to him and…he wasn’t there.
You’re welcome! Great post and a great cause! Good luck! Best, Kevin.
What fun to be discovered by someone I don’t know. Thanks Kevin for liking my post about plaid. I learned a lot in that exercise that’s still resonating with me today. I look forward to learning more about Oregon College of Arts and Crafts.

Curious how you found me?
In any case, thanks again.
Penny
Hi Penny! You’re welcome! I really like your work. Keep it up! Not sure I recall how I stumbled upon your blog. I suspect I found it because you used the tags: embroidery and mixed media. I frequently search posts by both of those terms. Best, Kevin.
Thank you for liking my recent post about Islamic domes. You have a great site and I will add it to the links on my blog. Best, Maria Giannuzzi, Architectural Travels.

Best,
Crista
Hi Crista! You’re welcome! We’re huge fans of letterpress here at OCAC (our book arts students do a lot of great work in letterpress). It’s really great to see what other artists are up to too. If you’re interested in what some of our book arts students are doing, check out their blog: http://ocacbookarts.blogspot.com/. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.

Thank you for reading my blog. In a culture where there is rarely enough time to live, I deeply appreciate you taking a few moments to spend with me.
Be encouraged!
You’re welcome! Such a nice note. Thank you! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the like on my blog on the making of abstract paintings. Please revisit any time! I could get lost in that Reanimation Library!
Hi Karen! You’re welcome! There’s a lot of beautiful work on your blog. Thank you for sharing! And you’re right about the reanimation library ….. it’s a bit of a rabbit hole! Best, Kevin.

Hi, Kevin! Thanks for liking my blog today. I love this kind of synchronicity–I lived in Portland until a few years ago! Enjoy your snow and I’ll enjoy 75 degrees and sun. Seems to be one of those odd moments where central NY has weather preferable to that of Oregon!
Hi Melissa! You’re welcome! I enjoyed stumbling across your blog yesterday. Great Work! I also love the synchronicity. But right now, I’m not in love with the endless days of cold and drizzle.
Enjoy the sunshine! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for your visit Kevin! Wish I was up in Portland to take advantage of the great exhibits and benefits you’ve highlighted.
All the best!
Emily
Hi Emily! Thanks for the kind comment. It’s always great to hear that people are enjoying what we’re up to. Best to you too. Kevin
thanks for liking…http://simplicityandabstraction.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/a-forum-for-debate/
keep up a good work and more power!
Loved it! Right back at ya! Thanks, Kevin.
Thanks for leaving Likes on several of my blog posts recently! It’s tremendous to get feedback like this, which is the main reason I started the blog – previously I had a very static and not at all interactive website, and as in recent years I have only sold through galleries and not directly face-to-face I miss having any first hand contact and any kind of dialogue. WordPress certainly makes a big difference.
Best wishes
Deborah
You’re welcome! Keep up the great work. Great photographs! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my blog!! Bev
Hi Beverley! You’re welcome! Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for liking my brand new blog! It’s a brave new digital world for me!
You’re welcome! You’re off to a great start! Good luck! Best, Kevin.
What a great blog you have here! Thanks for stopping over at mine
I just visited the OCAC recently and ate in the delicious Cafe there. I will be sure to pass on by this blog again and see what else you are highlighting in the future!
Thank you! You’re very kind. Nice to talk to someone from the area – especially someone who has eaten at the Hands-On Cafe! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for dropping in on Postcard Cafe and for liking the latest post by Phlegm. He is a remarkably talented artist who just loves to paint walls! We get to see his work for real and no photographs can really do his work justice. Do check out his website and look at the print he made recently called Civilisation. He is not a commercial artist and only sells comics and prints occasionally to pay for his painting. Not surprisingly the print sold out instantly. His website is at http://www.phlegmcomicnews.blogspot.co.uk/
Best wishes….
Hi! You’re welcome! I really enjoyed the Phlegm post. So cool. It’s always great to learn about new artists. Thanks for the link. I’ll check out more of his work. Best, Kevin.
Thank you Kevin for “like” on my current article “The Artist”.

Ah! I wish your library weren’t clear across the country from me! It sounds like you have a lot of interesting people & events coming through.
However, it’s great that – through the internet – I can still get a “taste” of it!

Thank you Kevin for liking my blog! If your readers or you look into my older posts I have a few other crafts that I have created posted, a tutorial for one easy sewing project and I will continue to update my readers on the State Flower Quilt that I am in stage 1 of creating… this will be a very long ongoing project for me and my blog is a great way to catalog my experience and show the world that an old craft can be made fun and modern! If I was living in your city I would LOVE this blog! I wish there was one like this for my home town or the Army post community I am living at now.. Stationed in Germany with my husband who is in the Army Infantry Cavalry… so projects pass the time when he is away training! Thank’s again and I am looking forward to your future blog posts!

I wish I could take credit for my gravatar, but I can’t. I was selected by Artboy68 to be a part of his 100 portraits project: http://artboy68project.wordpress.com/about/ It was so cool! Best, Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for continuing to like my posts. Many years ago when I first started my career in Fiber Arts I participated in the “Design to Wear” competitions sponsored by the then called Oregon School of Arts and Crafts. I was so pleased to see that you are connected, and happy to know that the college is still vibrant.
Christen

Happy Spring to you, Betina J.
Hi Betina! You’re welcome! Keep up the great work!
Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, I am impressed at the range of topics and art that you exhibit and talk about. It must feel satisfying to be such a good facilator. One of your last posts on artists learning how to be solvent? The guy that wrote the book? Is it real?
geri
Hi Geri! I’m not sure what post you’re referring to, but if you’re talking about Daniel Grant’s book, The Business of Being an Artist, my response is: yes, both he and his book are definitely real.
Best, Kevin

Thanks again, Jeannette
Hi Jeannette! You’re welcome. Love your paintings. Keep up the great work! Look forward to seeing more. Best, Kevin.
Just now I have been working on my memoir–another blog is where I try it out. Kind of fun working in two different forms that feed off one another. Hey. Good luck with your big weekend out in Oregon. Bit too far from Connecticut to get there..
Hey thanks for checking out our blog! And keep up the great work on yours! Best, Kevin.

Hi Kevin!
Thank you very much for visiting my blog. I was very pleased to log in one day and received about 7 likes from you – all on posts related to knitting and crocheting. I guess that means you share the same passion? I’ve only just started designing my own amigurumi and hopefully will have time soon to crochet and share them on my blog. Again, thanks for reading
Ram
Hi Ram! Yes, I love almost all things knitting or crocheting related. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find the time to knit these days myself. But I still enjoy seeing what others are up to. It’s inspiring. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thank you Kevin, for liking my post. I appreciate the feedback.
You’re welcome! I really like your paintings: so colorful and playful! Best, Kevin.
Good heavens! Here I was wondering if blogging was going to be worth the time and someone “likes” a post practically immediately. I guess that answers that question.
Thank you for visiting me at BarbershopGirl and commenting on my fabric painting. It certainly made my day. And may I say what an intriguing place this is? I shall have to come back often just to see what’s new.
You’re welcome! I’m a big fan of your projects. Great stuff. Looking forward to reading more about them! Best, Kevin.
Glad you like my work ;0) keep checking I try to post frequently…..Patty
You’re welcome, Patty! I’m a big fan. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Best, Kevin.

Kevin – I have copied your excellent idea of using a drawing not a photo on my blog – I hope I have credited you properly, I’ll go back and do it properly now I know where you are based! many thanks, carys
Hi Carys! I wish I could take credit for the drawing, but actually it was created as part of a 100 portraits project by Artboy68. It was really fun to be a part of that project. You can learn more about it and see other portraits here: http://artboy68project.wordpress.com/about/ . …Best, Kevin
Cheers for stopping by my blog http://reflectionsofchina.wordpress.com/ and for the likes, they are appreciated

Thanks alot for liking my post, man. We both love Portland it seems!
Hi Nick! Big fan of your blog. I’m always looking for great and healthy food options! I’ll have to look into the “nutritarian” diet. Sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking my stuff. I’m following your blog; I’m always looking for new things to read.
Thanks for following our blog! I’m very impressed with yours. Many of the bands you list are some of my new favorites, and, others I’m excited to learn more about! Such a great resource. Thank you. Best, Kevin.
Thanks, Kevin, for visiting my blog. The post you liked is one of my absolute favorite links I’ve shared so far!

Hi Kevin,
Nice to hear from you again!
Your blog is full of interesting things. Great to know where I can see all the information in art.
You’re welcome! Love your drawings, and, thank you for all the kind words about our blog. I’m glad it’s a source of inspiration for you! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
I’ve just spent an hour scratching the surface of your wonderful blog. I shall return! And thank you very much for liking my embroidery.

thanks Kevin for your likes of my posts
)))…. I am new to bloging, writing and publishing in general and its very supportive! Your blog and its mission are great! I wished I lived in or visit Portland to see all those things you post about. Art is a media that speaks the language of the soul…
“art is a media that speaks the language of the soul” …. So true! Thank you for sharing that thought. It’s beautiful. And thank you for checking out our blog as well. I hope it proves to be a source of inspiration for your work. All the best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for liking my blog “Little Lioness.” Your blog looks great, keep up the good work!
You’re so welcome! The Little Lioness is an amazing portrait! I can’t get over the detail and the way you captured the child’s “roaring” expression! Maybe I’m a little biased because I have a small 10 month year old daughter (who has on occasion made that same face!), but it’s truly a fine work of art. Thank you for sharing it and also talking about your process. Best, Kevin.
Kevin, I thank you for liking my picture “Seize the nail”, you have inspired me to continue exploring this world with my camera.
Hi John! That is so great to hear! Good luck with all your work behind the lens
Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking a couple of my posts – I’m new to the blogging world and am posting mostly recent works, but hope to expand to thoughts about art in general, not just mine – there is so much going on and so much changing.
Hi Dan! You’re welcome! Keep up the great work on your blog! There is definitely A LOT going on in the art world, and, blogging and reading other artists’ blogs are one great way (I think) of keeping track of trends and innovations. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for liking my post!
I’m still new at blogging but I’m catching on. Drawing, horses, and dogs are near the top of my ‘favorite things’ list, which you probably gathered from my post. 
Thanks again!
By the way, I’m enjoying your blog immensely!
Hi P.H.! Love your drawings! Especially the horse portrait. Thank you for sharing your work! I look forward to seeing more of it in the future! Best, Kevin.
Thanks! ^.^ Since the horse racing season is coming up soon, I’m planning on doing some race-themed drawings soon.
Wow, there are a lot of comments! Thanks for liking my self-portrait, Kevin. I’ll find out more about what’s going on here. Best wishes.
You’re welcome! It’s a great portrait. I also like that you mention reading “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.” We have a copy of that book in our library and it’s well loved (maybe too much – we recently had to reinforce its spine). Great to read a little about your creative process. Best, Kevin.
Thanks for looking into my blog. I try to use photos in every one. I liked reading about
the Brooklyn “reanimation” library on your blog. Great idea—and it’s good that you are
giving it some publicity.
You’re welcome! I like reading about your creative process with your embroidery work in particular. Very cool! Glad you like our post about the reanimation library. It’s definitely worth checking out! Best, Kevin.
Hi, Kevin! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I’m honored you liked it. All the best…
Hi Anita! You’re welcome! your blog is such a fantastic resource for art instructors and artists in general. well done! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks for liking 100+journals on my blog. It’s a fun exhibition.
Hi Peggy! You’re welcome! I wish I could attend the 100+Journals exhibition. From the picture and your description, it sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, thanks for liking my post – sorry I was so non-verbal today!
Hi Doreen! You’re welcome! There is so much amazing work on your blog! Love it. Thanks for sharing! Best, Kevin.
Thanks, Kevin, for visiting my blog and liking my paintings.
Hi Stinnett! You’re welcome! I love your work. The detail is absolutely stunning! Looking forward to seeing more! Bets, Kevin.
Hi Kevin, that’s a really neat purpose to a blog – it makes for a more emotional, friendly, cuppa-coffee-sit-down-with-friends feeling about college content. Perhaps what I’m trying to say is that it gives back the more human touch. Seems to be something happening generally in academia (as someone with a more natural sciences background: I hope). All the best!
Thank you for complimenting our blog’s mission statement. We definitely try to take a more friendly approach to serving our community. At such a small college (under 500 FTE), it’s hard not to. No one is invisible here, and so, the students, the staff, and the faculty are all very close. It’s much more like a family here, than in any of the large institutions where I went to school. But that’s also what makes my work so rewarding! Thank you for reminding me of that! Best, Kevin.
Hello again Kevin. I am enjoying your posts, bringing interesting articles and exerpts to our attention. Well worth reading! thanks also for liking my latest. I am new, so really get a kick out of that from you.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for visiting and liking my post. Your blog is so great and worth reading

Hi Mark! You’re welcome! It’s also great to discover a new blog. I look forward to seeing what you do with it! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin…thanks for stopping by throughthehealinglens today. Looks like you have some great content here as well!! Will need to visit again:)
Hi Robyn! You’re welcome! Thank you for checking out our blog too! Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
Thanks Kevin! I’m glad you liked some of my posts on artistic themes at my blog about synaesthesia and face recognition. Though a bit creative I’m not an artist, and although I’m not a member of any arts community, I can’t imagine life without visual art or sculpture or music. It’s people like you who help to make the internet a community rather than just a computer network.
Thank you so much for this comment! It was really touching to hear someone describe our work as making the “internet a community rather than just a computer network”! Aw shucks! We try! Thank you for noticing and taking the time to connect! Loved the piece about synaesthesia and face recognition. Reminds me of some of Oliver Sack’s work. Truly fascinating! All the best, Kevin.
Oh, I should add that if you click on my name, you might be taken to my other blog, which is about Australian slang expressions and is not at all artistic and is really quite tasteless in parts. My more serious blog is this one: http://superrecognizer.wordpress.com/
Happy reading!
Thanks for the link! I’ll definitely be happily reading! Best, Kevin.
Hi Kevin! Thanks a lot for visiting and liking my post on Inspiration Sandwich! Much appreciated! I get inspired by many things around me and I love to share my finds with the world.
Great blog you have here! I love libraries. Whenever I go abroad, I always try to visit at least one. I’ve never been to Portland (or Oregon for that matter). Hope to go someday though, I heard Oregon is a beautiful state. Keep up the good work on your blog!
Cheers!
You’re welcome! I love reading about what inspires people! I get to find out so many new things that way and keep up with trends and innovations going on all over the world. So cool! Thank you for the kind words about our blog! I hope you can find some inspiration among our posts.

Hi Kevin ~ thank you for finding me and commenting. I’m a newbie, in my first week. I look forward to checking out your interests here. Already, the Reanimation Museum has captivated me. I used to live not far from the Gowanus Canal.
You’re welcome! It’s always a pleasure to stumble upon a new blog. Keep up the great work! Best, Kevin.
I meant, “liking” not commenting. It’s nice to be liked
Kevin, I appreciate knowing that you “like” what I do because I have so much fun doing it.

Thanks for visiting my blog and liking my “Mod Fashion–Webby Style!” post. I love the eclectic collection you have here! Thanks to your blog, I’ve now added “The Craft Reader” to my To-Read list
You’re welcome! Love your styles! Thanks for checking out our blog as well. I’m pleased you liked The Craft Reader. It’s definitely worth checking out. It’s not the kind of reading for the beach, but it goes great with rich coffee and the peace and quiet of an early morning.
Best, Kevin.
Thank-you for the visit!!!
Hi Kevin,
I’m in the [somewhat slow] process of loading up my recent work, so please pop back in a couple of weeks/months.
Thanks for liking my observational drawing post. Its really encouraging to find that someone else likes what you’re doing
In the meantime, I shall keep exploring your blog. Its fascinating to see what’s happening on the other side of the world!

Thanks for stopping by again – I’ll be posting some pages from my 2012 sketchbook next.:)
