Yes that blog is cool. 

is it just me, or most of the art is charachter-centered, while finding inspirational environment art is much harder 

plus, it's mostly chicks aged 18-24, and a smattering of weird monster characters...

few artists seem interested in painting men, old women, or children (unless they are disturbed and-or sexualized girls.)

These guys do have a lot of talent, though. 

Are the bestest things to draw, metl -- EVERYONE knows that

Excellent stuff, Lunarol.

that every house in that shot is a different color, or that every house in greece is whitewashed with a blue roof:

So Mediterranean. 

you're thinking of Camino street in Boca. What you say is right back then, now only one street (the tourist street) has house like that.

I watched Hal Barwood, Richard Garriott, and Tim Willits which were all quite interesting. Willits kept calling Quake a "mess", and seemed to like Q2 more.
