How to Mobile Blog Your Artwork

Mobile blogging is a very convenient way of blogging while you are on the go, and do not have access to your computer. It can also be a very good method for artists to quickly share their art and experiences with their art blog readers.

Here are some situations where artists can make use of mobile phones to post photos:

Museum and art gallery tours. Make sure you have permission first before posting your photographs.
Progressive images of artwork. Artists can take photos of their artwork during several stages of production, and transfer them all to their blog directly through the mobile phone.
Basically, any experience artists have while away from their computer can be documented through mobile phone photography, and shared with blog readers instantaneously.
