4 years ago today I began blogging and The Altered Page was born. This blog has been an anchor for me in my creative life and formative in my growth as an artist. It has been my vision and my voice. I have said it before and I will say it again: I would not be the artist I am today were it not for my blog. It has given me motivation, provided unexpected opportunities, and introduced me to all of you - the most supportive and dedicated group of people I could have ever hoped to meet. I thank you for your visits, comments, emails, purchases, and gifts. You are the fuel for my creative fire. I look forward to the next four years and beyond.

Happy anniversary...and many more!!
No, thank YOU. Seth, your hard work and dedication gleam on this site. Thank you for all that you do!!
You get what you give. It is the law of the Universe. THANK YOU for everything you do to enrich and connect the artistic community. *hugs*
Congratulations on your Blogeburtstag!
Congratulations Seth! I think you said once, or perhaps many times, that one of the goals of your blog was to create community with artists. Through your blog, I have learned so much about my art form from others who generously share what they know. Through your blog, I have connected with amazing artists, and have been inspired by the excellent work they do.
But mostly, I have gotten to know you and your work. I have been on the receiving end of your kindness and support, and on occasion have had the opportunity to contribute my ideas and play a small role on your stage. Congratulations, again. And keep doing what you do!
Cheers!
You're very, VERY welcome Seth. I'm glad you decided to blog - so we could all meet you and enjoy your gorgeous work and wonderful (background) stories. I learned a lot from you and you manage to gather a creative community around you that is worth while knowing... you're the best! Happy anniversary!
Happy Birthday to The Altered Page! Seth, I admire your art, your sense of community, dedication and generosity of spirit. I would not be the artist I am today were it not for your blog :) I hope we meet one day so that I can tell you, in person, how much you inspire me. Keep up the good work. To infinity and beyond!
We look forward to it too Seth....always wonderful and informative posts and art!
Happy anniversary.

Congrats! We are FOURtunate to have you!
Thank YOU Seth for 4 years of inspiration!
Congrats on 4 years -- yours is such a fabulous blog!
Thank you, seth! for all of it! blogland wouldnt be the same without you!
Seth,You have truly accomplished in these 4 years what most people don't achieve in a life time. You've created a community and within this community,you've taken us on journeys "underground", and shown us your journals from travels all around, we've see "roughcast" and heard your pod casts, seen buried treasures and heard secrets never told before, we've been to your book guild, through your studio tours and so much more. You have continually given us snapshots of the art world's pulse and are an inspiration to all that come in contact with you- whether via your blog, your art in publications or on our walls or shelves, or through your smash hit articles or in nearsay- what you touch turns to gold. Pretty good I'd say. Actually, I'm thinking, could "blog years" be counted like "dog" years? You couldn't possibly have actually created all you have in 4 "people" years! Congrats and thank you for all you have given to me.
I don't remember how I found you (and your blog), but I'm happy that I did. And happy for your success. Here you're thanking US when we should be thanking YOU! Happy Anniversary, Seth!!!
Wow, way to go. Thanks for continuing to be such a huge source of inspiration to all of us. Happy Blog Anniversary.
Lovely...congrats Seth....thanks for your recent comment too about art and where it goes after it is sold...
Wishing you a very happy 4 years to come...you have been a great source of inspiration to me and to others I am sure, your presence in the world, blogging, magazines, facebook etc. etc encourage other artists keep living their dreams and to follow their hearts...Your work is always a delight to view and your blog so wonderful to read...glad you are in the blogging world..or I would might never have met you perhaps...
Congrats! Here's to many more....
Congrats and Happy Anniversary

Happy Blog Anniversary
I wholeheartedly agree with you on how much writting a blog encourages you to keep going, when the motivation flags. Its also a great way to share finished work in a way that would have been impossible just a few years ago.
The inspiration your blog and those of other artists has made a huge difference to my art. The internet has put me in touch with the most fantastic artists of all kinds.
Happy Anniversary and may there be many more.
Very best wishes and many thanks for all the inspiration
Billie :)
happy blog birthday, seth. i'm so glad the altered page was born.
