Influential Canadians in the Art World - Jeff Hamada

"People often say to me, You were really lucky to have made an art site when no one was doing it,' and that's true to a certain extent," Hamada says. "But as soon as you see the opportunity, you have to be able to pounce on it."

That's how Vancouver blogger Jeff Hamada, has been quoted describing his success in articles printed across Canada in the National Post and throughout the bankruptcy-protected Canwest chain this week.

Interesting that Hamada would agree that no one was making an art site before Booooooom.

Seems to me there have been a "couple" of art blogs around for slightly longer than that - lol.

What is amazing, though, is to compare the success of Hamada's blog to the dismal failure of the Canwest chain - especially the National Post.
