Art Blogs to look at

Wikipedia has a long list of art blogs to check out:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_blog

For instance:
1. Culture Girl  http://www.artsjournal.com/blogs.php
Lee Rosenbaum, a cultural journalist, writes frequently for the 'Wall Street Journal,and is a regular cultural contributor on New York Public Radio (WNYC). She has also published several Op-Ed pieces in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
2. http://www.the-dump.net/
The Dump by Maurice Benayoun  a new-media artist based in Paris who has won numerous awards for his work. His work employs various media, including (and often combining) video, immersive virtual reality, the Web, wireless technology, performance, large-scale art installations and interactive exhibitions. The Dump... "is a collection of his ideas. Hundreds of ideas. “Everyone can come and take them and do them if they want". In December 2008 "Benayoun submitted “The Dump” as his PhD thesis and became, arguably, the first artist to use a blog to qualify for a doctorate degree". 
3.  For all those exploring ENCAUSTIC:  Joanne Mattera's blog

4. Two Coats of Paint
Maintained by artist/writer Sharon Butler, Two Coats of Paint is a daily digest of reviews, commentary, and background information about painting and related subjects. Butler, an art professor at Eastern Connecticut State University, also writes for The Brooklyn Rail and The American Prospect.
"I created Two Coats of Paint in 2007 to share reviews, commentary, news, and background information about painting and related subjects. Since then, maintaining Two Coats has become an integral part of my art practice. In March 2010 Two Coats won a Mindshare Award for art blog excellence.
