Artist Blogs to Check Out

Today I think I'll talk up a few of the art blogs I read regularly, due to the awesomeness of the artists as well as the fact that I know some of them:

• Late Breaking Noose - the blog of Judith Schaechter, who has rapidly become one of my favorite glass artists. She works in stained glass, and each of her pieces leaves me in absolute awe. Her style is a bit dark and sometimes grotesque, yet stunningly beautiful all at once. Fantastic, and just my kind of thing.
• The GLASS Quarterly Hot Sheet - This is a terrific blog that will keep you up to date on the latest and greatest happenings in the glass world. You'll discover a new glass artist at least every few posts.
• It'll Glow On You - blog of my friend and former-classmate Carolyn Kassnoff, who makes really a broad variety of things, including sharpie sketches, super fun plush lamps, photos, neon work and awesome batik silk scarves. She also talks on a regular basis about the work of artists she admires (recently Sandow Birk and Bruce Nauman, for example).
• Art Without A Net - A Boomer Tale Of Art School - blog of another friend and former classmate, LuAnn DiPaglia, who is currently hashing out I believe her final year at Alfred. She has recently been casting little bells and pendants in bronze, and also painting. This is definitely one of the more detailed and engaging blogs I've come across, periodically waxing philosophical - such is the life of an art student. Love it.

Check 'em out.
