So What?

First posts are the hardest in my opinion. Do you wanna hear about me, or do you even care? I guess I'll start in the simplest of ways. My name is Erin Riebel, and this is my art blog.

Everyone these days has a blog. Don't deny it, you know it's true. Your boss has a blog about the fish he catches, your brother about how much he loves KISS, your Grandmother even has a blog about shoe dos-and-don'ts. Actually, can you link me to that one? That woman has some fantastic footwear.

And, this, is my blog. About art, the act of making art, and so forth. So what is so special about this blog? What puts THIS art blog above and beyond some of the more accomplished and famed artists on the web? It's this little secret: the fact that, quite frankly, no one can read it and it wouldn't matter to me. I could have forty thousand followers, twenty, or just my boyfriend. That is because art isn't meant to be simply analyzed and written papers about in class, or the art scene with their white wine and designer clothes in a minimalist opening, acting smug. It's meant to be shared, in any form, to any audience and in any style. So that being said this is my first masterpiece to you: my fat dinosaur. If he can love himself despite his weight, and that no one will read his blog, than you can too.
