Update: This blog is a stream of artworks that deserve special attention. I'd post more often but there are very few artworks that I feel qualify.

Hello Artblog.net reader and commenter,
I was saddened to learn that Franklin Einspruch will no longer be maintaining and updating Artblog.net. Although I was an infrequent commenter on the blog, I followed nearly all of the discussions that took place there over the years with great interest. Artblog.net produced some of the best art criticism and clearest writing about the visual arts that I have read in quite some time.
After seeing the results of a survey that I sent to a number of Artblog.net readers who responded quite favorably to the idea of a post artblog.net artblog I decided to give this site a go. The name of this blog draws from that central idea and the art truism that any art related topic with the word 'post' in it seems to garner a lot of critical acclaim and notoriety simply for being so named.
You will notice a few similarities: anonymous comments are allowed (for now), comments close after seven days, simple and uncluttered layout, no ads for now, Franklin's rules are going to be more or less enforced although I like contentious debate and will be much more lenient as a moderator.
And a few differences: multiple authors, Disqus commenting system, new blogspot domain, share buttons to post to selected social networks. Links in Disqus do not need to be hot linked. Meaning you can just cut and past your link into your comment.
I was a big fan of how the old blog functioned. Apparently this hand cared for code also caused some technical problems unfortunately. Blogger + Disqus is far from a perfect solution but they are strong proven stable platforms also they have some user friendly advantages.
If you are interested in becoming an author/artist. You have to get my attention with your art or writing here or in the comment section. I will be inviting several artists and writers in the coming days and weeks.
Enjoy!
Edit- Also I'll be adding to this list of people who have linked to us in the past. We want to thank all those who have linked to us and helped point viewers our way. This will serve as our blog roll.
