Ester Roi - who invented the Icarus Drawing Board™
run across my 2008 post The novel Icarus Drawing Board™

I've been real struck inwards recent years yesteryear artists who are fine art bloggers who create got gone that extra mile as well as addressed their practical needs yesteryear creating a novel tool or experimenting with novel media - which they as well as then part with other artists.

Ester Roi (Ester Roi Fine Art) (see right) is a practiced lawsuit of the form of soul I mean.

Some create got shared inside a commercial context - especially when, similar Ester, they create got invented, commissioned as well as manufactured a novel textile or tool which is non inexpensive to produce.

Others focus on sharing novel ways of working with media, materials or equipment produced yesteryear others.

The internet lawsuit of all their experimentation as well as sharing is that for many of us our kit as well as materials instantly facial expression real dissimilar equally a straight lawsuit of their efforts.

We've all benefited as well as this abide by is 1 agency nosotros tin part our appreciation!

Only an independent fine art blogger tin have the award.  My exclusively constraint on this abide by is that which relates to all the Making H5N1 Mark Awards ie the awards exclude all corporate blogs.  MAJOR manufacturers whose trouble organization is fine art materials as well as equipment cannot have the abide by as well as neither tin they nominate.  However independent fine art bloggers who create got developed a novel tool or textile as well as are selling it commercially are eligible for the award.

In this start year, I'm also going to create got a liberal persuasion equally to what tin as well as cannot hold upward included inwards price of dates of when it was introduced.  Ideally I'm looking to brand an abide by inwards relation to 2011 but am willing to stretch this timeframe.

Now for the to a greater extent than established Making H5N1 Mark Art Blog Awards.
