		<description>A picture says one thousand words, but brevity is the source of wit and wisdom. I would love to see you update daily, but even more than that I am interested in hearing what you think about the things you find or experience. Write about design if you do.</description>

		<description>@DANGER
Yes, I think you are right. I am just going to have to force myself to post more often and to stop waiting for &quot;blog-worthy&quot; content. This would give the whole thing a more natural direction I suppose.

@ESBEN
It is good to know there are people out there reading, that really encourages me to write more. I think the one drawing you have produced is quite nice, do a bunch of quick sketches of things around you and you will become more confident in your skills. Don&#039;t look at each drawing as a finished piece, but instead a part of your learning process; they should not be precious.
I agree with you that a good, solid blog has one subject or focus, which is precisely my concern. My work is so scattered that my blog is as well. I am just going to go with it though, and see where it takes me.</description>

		<description>hm I don&#039;t know if I have a personal preference from non-digital design, except for letterpress, which have caught my attention big time, so Im not to say, it wouldn&#039;t interest me :) graphic design is what it is, digital or not.

Well since I myself is a Illustrator designer (being a bit careful about the last bit) and self taught only a couple of years ago, Im sucking up every bit of information about how and why a given design works, and format doesn&#039;t really matter.

Grid, colours, placement, breaking the rules etc. are in high demands, not many write about this stuff. Lauren on creativecurio does on occasion have such a post, but otherwise I don&#039;t find much. Its also a good subject to get a discussion going I guess..

About your drawings!

You see, I can&#039;t draw and I would really like to get better myself, I have so far made one http://www.flickr.com/photos/esbenthomsen/2864835460/ and its not good, but it was such fun to do (digitally).

I find myself asking very basic stuff, from &quot;how to hold your pencil&quot;, &quot;which kind of pencil for what?&quot;, &quot;what kind of paper?&quot;, which motives would be good to start at.. basic beginner stuff. Pour out of your knowledge about the subject and make some tutorials for instance. There aren&#039;t any blogs that touch that subject as far as I can google.

Personally I like blogs that have one subject and goes into depth :-) Remember you can always make another site, for &quot;stuff I find&quot; or simply link to delicious.

Hope It helped alot and Im sorry I don&#039;t comment ofter, but I do read every single post</description>

		<description>Agree with Esben!!!! the whole &quot;I FOUND THIS STUFF IT IS GREAT LOOK AT THIS GREAT STUFF I FOUND&quot; is a dime a dozen. So are hipsters on fixies. If you must, go wood or design. OR, analog design IN WOOD. hey!!! 

No. Personal bias is towards non-digital design work, but only because you are practically the only graphic designer I know who manages to convince me, time and time again, not to look dubiously on designers as a lesser breed.  

Why are you worried about holding any kind of audience? You have a new-ish personal blog here, you may as well write about whatever the hell you want, and let the content determine the direction as you go. You don&#039;t need a thesis.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot for the feedback Esben, I did not know anyone reading my blog cared about my drawings. My fear is just that because this thing is so scatterbrained as is, I will not be able to hold any kind of audience. You have given me some things to think about, thanks for your thoughts!</description>

		<description>I always like the discussion about fonts, but your drawings was a huge surprise and I would like to see more.

Making a blog about &quot; great stuff I find&quot;, is just the new trend, which alright, but I have to admit that  I would rather read about &lt;i&gt;why&lt;/i&gt; its great, not just showcasing.</description>
