Gurney Journey
http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/
James Gurney's (the creator and illustrator of the Dinotopia series of books) blog. Has a tremendous amount of information about academic painting, art history, illustration, and general art principles of all stripes. Probably the single best blog on art that I've come across.
Lines and Colors

Updated daily with a selection of images from a different artist- modern and old, commercial and fine art. It's an excellent resource for daily inspiration and finding new artists.
Deja View
http://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/
A blog by Andreas Deja, the lead animator for Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, Jafar from Aladdin, Scar from The Lion King and Hercules. Mostly covers animation and Disney related topics, and has a great look at the raw pencil animation/sketchwork of some of the all-time greats of animation. If you have any interest in Disney, animation, or cartooning in general, it's worth checking out.
