Making the most of Tumblr’s brilliant image-display feature, The Only Magic Left Is Art, carefully curated by Brandon C. Long, is like a hybrid blog and art gallery. Each month gives spotlight to a featured artist, and the Tumblr is regularly updated with original paintings, drawings, illustrations, photographs and graphic designs. The art is as diverse as it is captivating. “[T]he common man and the artist are one and the same,” Long writes on the Tumblr’s manifesto. “I don’t know about you, but to me, there is something magical about that.” Some works have even made the jump from blogged to bought, purchased from The Only Magic Left Is Art’s affiliated Etsy page.
