100 Posts and Counting….
I began this blog with the site relaunch in mid-December, 2007, with the intention and hope of blogging nearly every day. To tell the truth, I wasn’t sure how I’d do. With work and family and side creative projects, there was no guarantee I’d be able to find the time, rather that this blog would go the way of so many…into stagnancy and obscurity.
Well, I can’t speak to obscurity, but other than taking some days off here and there, in just over three months, the Blue Moon Blog has already reached its 100th post. This blog has evolved and grown over that time, but has become pretty much what I’d envisioned when I wrote the first post. The blog is designed to be an integral part of the larger Blue Moon Studios site, a way for me to keep it fresh and alive, and a reason for you to visit habitually.
I’ve covered new projects, sketches and illustrations from the archive, my various and eclectic popular culture interests and obsessions, tips for creating art and running a home business, and, of course, the latest goings on with the Blue Moon Crew, all of which are easily accessible by category links in the always-present sidebar to the left, so browse away.
I’ve a couple dozen new posts already in the works, so check in, to appropriate an old Chicagoism, “early and often.” And drop a quick comment if and when you’re able, so I know you’re out there. Thanks much to all of you who’ve been visiting daily and commenting, and welcome to you newcomers. We’ll see you again tomorrow.

Congratulations on making it to 100!
Of all the blogs I follow, yours is the most thoughtful. Though the discussions of illustration techniques and pens are wasted on me, the culture updates on music and movies are very insightful. I’ve found a few artists I like from your recommendations and feel like a better person for reading. If anything, I would advise spreading some of the information out over a few posts, I don’t want you to kill yourself and give up.
Keep up the good work, and good luck on the next 100.

Thanks for the kind words an encouragement, Mitch. I may take your advice, stretching some longer posts over two days, or giving Poppa Culture review/overview subjects their own post, rather than grouping them. Thanks again!
