This month I was so pleased to be able to interview Liana of Liana’s Paper Doll Blog. I fell in love with Liana’s Paper Doll Blog back when she was posting Anna in 2004 (There’s a wonderful retrospective on her site) which was my first year of college and I remember reading it while sitting in my dorm room and feeling pleased that someone else actually liked paper dolls other than me.
Many years later, after college, I followed Sylvia and Iris while I was working at the State Library of Alaska. I checked the site every day at lunch. I watched her site and I thought, “I could do this. I could make a paper doll blog.”
In a very real way, Paper Thin Personas would have never existed without Liana’s Paper Doll Blog. I owe her so much.
So, I was excited and elated when she agreed to let me interview her for this month’s Featured Artist. Go read her interview and check out her amazing site.
I’ve always really liked Liana’s work and I think it is wonderful that you interviewed her.
That was so fun learning more about Liana & her paper dolling, like you I began following her ages ago, amazed to find someone (who was no longer a child) also interested in drawing paper dolls (and who is exceptional at it).
I suspect if you did an informal poll, most paper doll blogs were inspired by Liana. For me, it was Boots and Liana.
