  • Imagekind sale… check it out!

    As you all know (those of you who know me and those of you who actually care 😉 I sell my art as prints at various sites. I’ve spoken about Imagekind in the past as a great site to go and get nice prints framed or otherwise. You can check out my previous post about…

  • Take a peek and give it a vote :D

    This is one of my entries (the best one actually) for the Doc Marten boot contest. I found out by accident about this when someone was nice enough to compliment me at Zazzle about something I recently added to my shop there. She had a link to her own boot design so I gave it…

  • Orphan works – Should I be worried?

    Here’s a good link to what this seems to be about: Orphan Works. It seems this is about your works being stolen should someone try to contact you, can’t and after waiting a reasonable amount of time can claim your work and use it how they wish. Seems unfair to me if this is a…

  • I’ve been publish… sort of

    Check this out: Schmaps Guide Online. Someone contacted me through Flickr that they liked my photo so I checked out the site. Looks legit enough so I went ahead and let them use it. I’m also tempted to try another site I found that sends books to children in countries who are trying to learn…

  • Prickie goes on vacation

    Unfortunately I received an email from Prickie.com today saying they were going to shut down shop for a bit. They’re low on funding, so for now Prickie will become a gallery of badge art. They will not be selling any button badges while they figure out what’s going to happen. I’m hoping they will be…

  • Haru no Onna – The Spring Maiden

    Here is a pretty good example of what I can do when I’m bored enough and play with photoshop: This was prepped by me removing the background by hand. I really need to find how to use more shortcuts and such. At this point the image is ready to be manipulated but only the bare…

  • Imagekind ROCKS!

    I have to say the people at Imagekind are a great bunch of people! I bought a framed print of my own work (my “year of the rat” series as a dual print, single frame) and it came out beautiful! The only issue I had was that the frame was slightly marred. Normally I wouldn’t…

  • Art Contest Galore!

    I’m not a professional artist by far. I think I’m good but I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a pro. I guess I haven’t gotten that conceit yet. I’ve known many an artist type, student etc who did have it and sometimes they rightly have it as they are very talented and…

  • Black Friday approacheth Dear Artists…

    Well as any other artist thinks, I want to get something that will continue or expand my current artistic endeavors. As I am a “digital” artist, I’d love to get a laptop one of these days so I can do my art on the move; The most I might be able to afford this year…
