5 Blogs Featuring Great Artists & Illustrators

I follow quite a few blogs and I don't usually have time to read every word of every blog. It is nice to have a few blogs that deal mainly in pictures rather than words. Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Matte Stephens http://matteart.blogspot.com/
2. MATTIAS ADOLFSSON http://mattiasa.blogspot.com/
3. iotacons by Andy Rash http://iotacons.blogspot.com/
4. INCIDENTAL COMICS http://thoughtballoonhelium.blogspot.com/
5. ABSTRACT COMICS http://abstractcomics.blogspot.com/

I considered writing a description of each of the blogs, but pictures speak louder than words so go to the blogs and let me know what you think. What are your favorite blogs with art and illustration?
