May I recommend the blog alfredo?

Okay, I've taken Squirrel's hidden challenge to my blog-hood, and I'll post a post. So there. Anyway, I've been thinking lately as to what I can post here. I've been pretty busy at work and most of my free time has been spent doing concept for the current project I'm on, so I can't post anything art wise. But I happen to follow a lot of blogs out there that I think you guys (and gals) would find interesting, so I'll recommend a few for you all. And if you have some that you like, please feel free to list them in the comments.

1. Google Reader. This is my go-to site for anything blog related. It keeps track of all your blogs you want to follow, and you can read all the posts from one page instead of having to go to all the different sites. Really simple, and if you already have a google account for g-mail, you're all set up and ready to go!

2. Concept Ships. An excellent site dedicated to exactly what the title says, concept art about ships. Space ships, sailing ships, cars, anything that you can call a ship really. It's awesome and the work is amazing. Check it out. Especially if you want any inspiration for your latest MOAG character's new pimped out ride.

3. Springfield Punx. This one's just funny. The dude's a Simpsons maniac, and does illustrations of various famous people in the simpsons style. Last month he did a Marvel character every day, it was awesome. You really need to check this out.

4. Gorilla Artfare. This is one of my favorites. It's a concept art blog, similar to Concept Ships, but it's open to any topic. It's really cool, and the artists are awesome. I highly recommend it. In fact, if you only look at one of these selections, this should be the one. You need to go check it out, if only to see the wonderful steam-punk Star Wars illustrations (scroll down to the Star Wars posts...) by Björn Hurri. He's awesome.

5. It's Just Me. This one will probably only interest Mrs. Shadowwire and Mrs. Bot, but it's my wife's blog, and I think they'd really enjoy it. So Bot and Shadowwire, pass it on.

Anyway, there it is. I have plenty more that I follow regularly, and I'll be happy to share more with you. I have some graphic design blogs if you're interested (Juanito) as well as some that give Photoshop Brushes and tutorials, so if you want, I can pass them along. As well as some sports blogs that I read.

Anyway, post your favorites in the comments. I'm interested to see what you guys like to read as well...

The Steam Punk Star Wars was my favorite. Boba looks amazing.
