blogs

I never understood blogging until I got to college. It was my second semester in and Natalie, and girl who became my buddy the first day I stepped into a drawing room in the basement of my school, struck up a conversation about it. I have been very interested in reading other peoples blogs and its taken me a while to find some really interesting reads. I have found my self reading blogs from vintage life to fixies and outdoors-men. This world of a social sub-culture is intriguing. But people will only read you if they are interested in your general subject or how you present yourself (so you are in a way selling your self) or were your blog is linked from.
Its fascinating to to think that printmaking started it all. one man who discovered a way to communicate without a monk or a educated scribe painting the day a way. If I may put history in a nutshell... It led from moveable type to relief and lithography and then to screen printing and soon to end up with the internet and then to all of these social networks.
Bloggers blog for their readers and other bloggers. -a circle of printmaking.
