Artists & Writers Featured Here

I've compiled some lists. In Part 1, below are artists and illustrators featured on this blog, with relevant dates; in Part 2, lists of writers and poets. I started on these mainly for my own information, but they could be of interest to others, so I'm posting 'em.

After reducing the size of my Label Cloud recently, so that only names/subjects which have been mentioned at least 3 times are shown, many individual names are now excluded, these lists help fill some of the gaps. The "Art" and "Writers" labels in the cloud still lead to most of those named in Parts 1 & 2, in date order. As an alternative, there's access via the archive facility in the sidebar. Click first on the year, then month, then day of the required post.

In the Artist list, names appear in alphabetical order according to first name, a few are by surname only. Don't ask me why

A link to this post appears in the sidebar, for future access. I also hope to keep the lists updated.
