Sascha Ehrentraut is the creator of the Signature Illustration Blog. It was established mainly because he loves art and all things that explore creativity. With a never-ending interest in the creative fields in work and life, he was excited when his girlfriend returned back from a trip to London full of all sorts of inspiration which led to the idea of starting a site that would be a collection of artists, illustrations, and other inspiring work.
“In a sense Signature Illustration has developed my passion and harnessed a deeper knowledge the illustration/art scene.”
Sascha is a huge supporter of blogging and recommends it to anyone. He firmly believes all it takes is being passionate about your topic(s) and speaking about what you already may know. By blogging you will increase your depth of knowledge which in turn will increase your passion for it. For Sascha, blogging is more about exploration and being able to share what he finds and then in turn people share their ideas and knowledge about that topic.
For his website, he gathers content from dozens of RSS feeds, illustration publications, and posting some of the brilliant artwork that is sent his way. If you’d like to learn more about the Signature Illustration Blog or would like to have your work featured, either visit his website or support him on Facebook and Twitter! Thanks for supporting us, Sascha!
