Looking over some of those old archived Artblog threads was bittersweet. They hold up well, but the art world is not only no better now but rather worse. Also, I think my edge was sharper then, which may be an age thing but also a matter of less exercise. In any case, happy birthday, Franklin.

Artblog had a good run, and it had its own personality. It certainly did not simply reflect the prevailing fashion nor did it blandly and meekly refrain from being "incorrect." In other words, it was not an extension of the Monoculture and it was not a bore. And by the way, I've never done Facebook.
Congratulations on Artblog longevity! That's a real feat.
