The 3rd department of the 2013 Making Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Mark Art Blog Awards is about Learning nigh Art together with the Art Business.  There are 3 awards:
  • The FAQs together with Answers Really Useful Medal
  • The Make Me Think Gong
  • The Best Book past times an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon
This exceptional department of the awards focuses on our personal evolution - whether that's via:
  • regular posts on a weblog wholly focused on the evolution of artists
  • a really goodness serial of posts on a exceptional topic of major relevance to artists
  • a novel fine art instruction book
  • a novel majority nigh the creative someone together with the fine art business
For some argue there's a real potent fine art draw of piece of occupation concern season to this year's respect winners.

The FAQs together with Answers Really Useful Medal


The FAQs together with Answers Really Useful Medal
values those art blogs which aim to portion useful data for artists - including what they have got learned with/from others
Previous winners are:



Sharing is a frame of hear - it's a mindset if y'all like.  You've either got it or y'all haven't.  If you've got it, sharing but seeps into everything y'all do!

I've got a issue of recommendations for this award
The FAQs together with Answers Really Useful Medal: for her video weblog tutorial Grow your fine art draw of piece of occupation concern online. Full of hands on together with detailed data how to laid an online store to growth your sales. I definitely volition do this inward January.
  • Artists Helping Artists was nominated by Susan Williamson (however they won inward 2011 together with thus are ineligible for the respect this year)
  • Painters-table.com was nominated by Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco (I think it powerfulness have got been ameliorate if the Painters Table had been nominated for the Showcase Shield nether the Generating Art category - soundless I've got it noted every bit a challenger for 2014 together with volition live on keeping an oculus on it over the course of report of 2014.)
Painters-table.com is a weblog of blogs that selects all the most interesting blogposts of the day. I am an avid reader because it covers figurative, abstract, contemporary together with sometime masters painting.
For the FAQ's award, I'd similar to nominate http://ilardt.blogspot.co.uk/ - for her progress alongside monoprinting over the year, from starting out to selling on Etsy, every bit good every bit her lovely "my weblog is your blog" feature, where she shares lovely operate past times other artists. Would nominate a fair few of her paintings, too, if I had the fourth dimension together with permission . . .
I've non reviewed all of Roos Schuring's videos - I've exclusively been able to dip inward together with out of 3 of them - together with that's because nosotros are talking lengthy videos.  It sure enough appears she's made a huge endeavour to address the type of questions which come upwardly up ane time again together with ane time again for those trying to sell their art. To so invest her fourth dimension every bit a professional person creative someone inward making the videos together with the supporting documentation together with so brand all the videos available for gratuitous is definitely going inward a higher house together with beyond inward the "helping out your beau artists" stakes!

I'm sure enough not a fan of all of her presentation techniques but I'm real used to doing presentations so I estimate I'm existence picky (but I am a potent believer inward outlawing  loud music from all educational videos!)

She's but published a recap of the flush so far - which I think powerfulness really live on a real goodness house for people to start. It's called 4 Steps Towards Success to Sell More Art.

So for the endeavour together with the content....

The 2013 Winner of
The FAQs together with Answers Really Useful Medal
is
Roos Schuring



The Make Me Think Gong 


The Make Me Think Gong
for the person who makes me (and others) think together with offers insights that are transferable to the activeness together with draw of piece of occupation concern of existence an artist. 

One of the awards had to live on to a greater extent than nigh matters relating to the career together with fine art draw of piece of occupation concern goal of things - together with this is it.  It's less "how to paint" together with to a greater extent than "how to avoid existence a starving artist".



This respect is also for independent every bit opposed to paid bloggers which agency that this rules out some goodness blogs (eg the Seller Handbook correspondents for Etsy's The Storque) together with some non so wonderful blogs e.g. all paper journals alongside a weblog online.

Previous winners:
An fine art draw of piece of occupation concern mag of late identified what it saw every bit the 10 Best Art Blogs to follow. Naturally, given the championship of the magazine, I assumed they'd all live on nigh the fine art business. Except they weren't. Only 4 of the x were truly nigh the fine art business. One of the other 6 had exclusively produced 5 posts inward full inward the final year. 

The fact of the thing is at that spot aren't that many blogs out at that spot which render consistently goodness content alongside practical advice together with the advice nigh which ones are swell isn't e'er that marvellous either!  Which is where this respect comes in......

 Nominations received included
Hands on together with detailed data how to laid your ain online store inward gild to growth your sales. I volition follow her propose together with laid mine upwardly inward January
Maria Brophy is a no-nonsense businesswoman together with blogger, who non exclusively helps straight together with maintain the career of internationally-known creative someone Drew Brophy, but often presents helpful guidance to avoid pitfalls of wrong draw of piece of occupation concern practices where artists are concerns--invaluable lessons, illustrated past times real-life experiences together with examples.
I'd similar to nominate Susan Mumford for her Lord's Day Reading blog. It's existence going for a chip over a year, together with provides weekly insight into the fine art world.
I have got to tell I also had Be Smart nigh Art on my listing - soundless it's soundless a relatively novel setup together with I'm adding it straight off to my listing for this respect for adjacent year!

That's because I've had somebody inward hear for some fourth dimension every bit existence somebody who should live on awarded the Make Me Think Gong for his contributions to thinking nigh fine art business.

Alan Bamberger's ArtBusiness.com provides real helpful together with consistently goodness advice - fifty-fifty if the frequency of posting is infrequent.  In terms of the content that's probable to involvement artists it's to a greater extent than weblog than website but, that said, it's non a lot similar most other blogs.  For example, both Feedly together with I have got looked inward vain for an RSS feed. 

Artists necessitate to focus on this link Articles for Artists: Resources to Present, Promote, Market Your Art. I think I've recommended every article inward that listing at ane fourth dimension or some other together with some to a greater extent than than once.  He's real much labelled every bit an goodness on my diverse websites nigh the fine art business.

The fundamental thing to recall is Alan packs inward plenty content to ane article to render a serial of 5-10 weblog posts past times other bloggers.  He's form of the obverse of Twitter together with real curt daily tips - he's consistently long on length alongside lots of enterprise content. Read his most recent article on Everything You Need to Know About Pricing Your Art together with you'll run across what I mean.  (By way of contrast he is brief together with to the signal on Facebook - run across his Facebook Page for Alan Bamberger artbusiness.com). I'd decease so far to tell that if Alan ever got circular to compiling his advice to artists inward a majority format he'd real likely have got a bestseller on his hands!

The Make Me Think Gong

The Best Book past times an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon


The Best Book past times an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon
for the most helpful majority written/produced past times an fine art blogger 

Previous winners
The criteria are that
  • the writer MUST live on somebody who blogs nigh fine art - BUT they don't have got to live on an artist.
  • the majority MUST 
    • have been published inward the previous ii years ie after 1st Jan 2012 inward the instance of the respect for 2013. This is to avoid whatever bias towards books published inward the early on purpose of this twelvemonth every bit opposed to those which have got non yet had fourth dimension to create a following.
    • add value every bit opposed to existence to a greater extent than of the 'same old, same old'. or but squeamish to await at.
My aim is to notice a majority which does NOT follow the conventional publisher's recipe for a lot of fine art books. 

Typically a "blue ribbon book"
  • will have got a structure, content together with pattern which speaks of the passion together with priorities of the creative someone blogger who has written it (ie "identikit books" volition NOT win this award!)
  • may have got been produced together with marketed past times the creative someone blogger. 
I also don't apply the 3 twelvemonth dominion to this respect on the reason that there's exclusively a pocket-size laid of people who write fine art books!  

Clara Lieu's book Learn, Create, together with Teach was nominated past times Rose Welty
The majority is real honest nigh living the creative life from someone who is doing it. It is real approachable but soundless informative. e.g. She answers the inquiry "can artists have got it all?" alongside "yes, but non all at once." The majority has helped me to a greater extent than accurately assess where I am together with what I necessitate to live on doing to displace forward.
I'll sure enough endorse Clara's weblog every bit existence a very interesting read - it's ane of the blogs I follow.  If you've non read her earlier assay her most pop posts

The winner of this year's respect published the Kindle Edition of the Second Edition inward Jan 2012.  When commencement published I'd Rather Be inward the Studio: The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion by Alyson Stanfield had no adventure against the juggernauts of Gurney and Urban Sketchers which were 'one Equus caballus races' inward both 2011 together with 2012 - alongside both books existence best sellers earlier they'd fifty-fifty been published!

However it's real of import to banker's complaint that nearly ii years afterwards that this is a majority which is a steady seller together with a stayer. It has proved to live on consistently pop together with highly regarded past times its readers. It currently enjoys 84 reviews on Amazon.com rating it an average of 4.9 out of 5 stars - which is an absolutely stellar performance. It also agency it straight off outranks 'The Art of Urban Sketching!

It's also of import to recall that this is yet some other majority which was written according to the author's thought of what was important. Design together with content were non dictated past times a publishing house.  Alyson laid her ain publishing fellowship to attain this book. What is real evident from some of the previous winners together with this majority is that when the experts inward their land are allowed to write what they desire to write together with what they think is of import so their books for artists often decease best sellers. However it does aid if y'all already have got a following!
