Okay. I have to say I feel a little bit funny on this one. Link-wise, I kept getting pointed to this blog, Peripheral Vision - but I’ve been swamped so I hadn’t really had time to check it out. I go there , it’s a Seattle art blog- and it’s smart, funny, and just plain GREAT.
Then I see the byline, “erinl.” Those of you who have been with Hankblog for a while may know her as erin82, and maybe you read a few of her 182 Hankblog posts. Perhaps you’ve missed her (I sure do!) in these past few months. (Teary goodbye, here.) She left the communications department at the Henry for an awesome education gig at SAM. You can just stop the missing and get over to Peripheral Vision and read, read, read. It’s also added to the “art blogs” blogroll.
First, I thought – not our Erin L? If our Erin were making a thoughtful, smart art blog she would certainly tell us so we could link to her and tell our friends. Especially if she were over at my house eating crepes and playing Wii Mario Party a week ago. We would talk about it.
I realize now she was testing me. You totally got me, Erin. Sorry it took so dang long! I will totally dedicate “Wind Beneath My Wings” to you next time at karaoke, buy you a huge cocktail, and congratulate you on your stealthy and fantastic new home in the blogosphere.
Thank you for the kind words Betsey! And please don’t feel funny- I didn’t expect to get scooped so soon, so I wasn’t really trying to promote until I at least got into a bit more of a posting rhythm. But it looks like there’s no hiding from Tyler!
And if I recall the history of Hankblog correctly, you had a bit of a soft opening too, so I’m happy to learn from the best =)
