This is one of my favourite blogs. The layout, photos, drawings - all the visual stuff is great. Plus, I come away with some inspiration or a new take of the world.

Targets? I am not very good at aiming in on a specific theme or style or even a goal when I start drawing/writing. Just start doing it. Seeing where it will go. Sometimes I like 'em. Sometimes I have doubts. May set it aside and come back later. Gi...

I really like your journal layout. I read that you were in New Mexico and found the courage to call yourself and artist. I find myself in that situation now and am struggling to find ways to show the work I have and say "this is my art." I hope to do this with this site..www.rollenhanson.com.

Love this blog .. each time I visit I not only get to enjoy a new piece of art but tend to find something I've missed in a piece I had seen on my last visit.
Keep up the great work Ralph!

OMG!
What an eclectic collection!
I have always admired those who could place some of our stranger human emotions into artform - and you appear to be a genius at doing so.
BRAVO Mr Ivy!
Angie Alaniz
This isn’t a blog, its art!
Ok well it’s both, and you sure have combined both into one big master piece.

This is a truly amazing one of a kind 5 star blog that's packed with art, doodling, cartooning, photography and writing.

I absolutely love the combination of art, doodles, photography and writing on this blog.

This blog humbled me from beginning to end.
The art is surrealistic and amazingly done in feeling and trepidation.
Take a moment from your life and visit this blog, it's a moment in time that you will not regret.
I wish I knew someone who could publish this man - for these are the words and art of someone who should be GREAT.
