Tumblr is the creative human’s digital answer to the moleskin journal. The platform is a place for creative showcasing and expression and is a wonderful place to find new artists, photographers, writers and much more. What I love about Tumblr is that it gives me the creative jolt when I am in a creative rut. It is inspiring to see what folks are creating, thinking about and doing with their lives. In turn, their work lights a fire under my belt and helps bring my own creative ideas for just about everything in my life into fruition. Here are ten Tumblr blogs that are on weekly rotation in my browser, just click on the the title to jump to their site.
