The Final Post on Illustration Pages

Monday, January 14, 2013 Lou Simeone, lousimeone.com, samalou.com 4 comments

After three years of running the Illustration Pages blog, the time has come for this final post. I've decided to close the site. Believe me when I say, the decision was not an easy one. I've been thinking about it for a while now. When I take into consideration all of the projects I have going on and some new avenues I'd like to explore, I realize I just don't have the time anymore to give Illustration Pages the attention it deserves.

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to Illustration Pages, especially Melissa Kojima, Owen Schumacher, Lydia Gnau and Ron Rae. I'd also like to thank all the talented artists that have submitted their great work, allowing us to peek into their creative worlds. And of course, thank you to all the wonderful artists that took the time out of their busy schedules to interview with Illustration Pages.

There is a lot of useful content on Illustration Pages so I'm going to keep the site live for a while.

In my humble opinion Illustration Pages has been a very successful site and I'd like to end it on a high note. If you take the time to peruse the site I'm sure you'll agree. I've had the pleasure of getting to know many talented artists because of Illustration Pages and I'm thankful for the experience. To me, the community aspect of the site has been the biggest and most important success of all.

I'm open to the idea of writing for other blogs or being a part of other collaborative projects.You'll find my contact information below. And of course, I always welcome a simple hello. Also, keep an eye out for other projects with my name on them.

Thanks again for the experience. I hope you've had as much fun as I have over the past three years.
