Blog Launch
This is a delight. This is art, drawing, friendship, blogging . . . all good things in life. I’m thrilled to inform everyone that my very dear friend, artist and photographer (and frequent Museworthy commenter) Fred Hatt, has embarked on a fabulous blogging journey. I say it’s about time! A vibrant fusion of photographic and drawing images with commentary and discussion, Drawing Life will be an exciting place for anyone in the visual arts. Plus, Fred has compiled one of the most superb blogrolls I’ve ever seen.
This isn’t merely about Fred being one of my best friends. Naturally I support him. But because I know him so well I know that he has the skills to make it work. With his observant eye, analytical mind, and potent creative impulse, Fred’s blog will be consistently illuminating and inspiring. If you don’t believe me just check out his first post.
Congratulations Fred! Nice job. Allow me to offer you an official warm welcome to the blogosphere. Great to have you among us. And for some extra kudos, as one of your longtime models, I’ll strip naked and take a pose in front of my computer, just for you 
Ready? Here we go!! :twist . . . pivot . . . ouch! My back!!:

Thank you for the plug, Claudia. You really showed me how it’s done, both by literally showing me some things and just by maintaining your blog consistently over time, developing it into something truly worthy of attention, and cultivating your readers. You’ve set the bar high!

Hurt your back? Better hurry up and get that workers’ comp insurance.
Seriously, Fred’s work is terrific, and I plan to become a regular reader of his blog.
