Name Gnome Life
Location Everywhere
First Post August 25

Gnome Life is the story of a gnome who bravely ventures out into the real world in search of adventure. The first stop on his journey: New York City. This curious little guy has already found a spot in Central Park that reminds him of home, but he still has to fight the constant urge to hide. Peering through holes and cracks, watching us humans move to and fro — this is where he feels the most secure. While no other dwarves are to be found in Manhattan’s underground caves, he’s finally starting to free himself from the cynicism felt by all the other gnomes back home at the garden.

Name Mike Mitchell’s Tumblr of Amazing Things
Location Los Angeles
First post August 2009

Freelance illustrator Mike Mitchell is perhaps best known for his “I’m with Coco” poster, but it’s his take on the universal “Viking riding a unicorn in space with lightning-emitting AK-47” concept that truly resonates with us. With a focus on pop culture and the utterly ridiculous, Mike posts his original works, the works of his friends and influences, and the things that make him laugh. He blew up the internet last week after receiving a thank-you note from comedian Zach Galifianakis for creating a splendid portrait. Mike lives in LA with his wife, Lauren, and various pets named Auggie, Belly, Emo, and Peeka.

Introducing: Submissions

There’s an interesting genre of blog that is more about the community than the author.

At some point you’ve probably seen Eat Sleep Draw, This is why you’re fat, or Cute Overload.

The author starts posting about a topic they care about, the readers start contributing, and before you know it, the author has become a curator.

Tumblr has always been uniquely suited for this type of blog.  In fact, 6 of them have gone from Tumblr blog to book deal in the last year.

So today we’re very excited to release Submissions, a feature to streamline community-driven blogs.  You can enable it from your blog’s Customize screen to let your readers submit posts via web.

In art class today, I passed a piece of paper round the class with the heading “What do you think Tumblr is?”.

Little do they know that they were no where near what Tumblr actually is.
