GREAT GIVEAWAY!!!

The Artisan Group has come so far in the short amount of time I have been working with them. It is amazing what can be achieved when you work together with like-minded people that have the same direction as you. In just 3 short months we have managed to gather nearly 300 of the most talented artists that are out there and are followed by nearly 700 Facebook fans.

700!

Can you believe that? We are blown away by the support we received and in return we plan to share some love back.

The Artisan Group would like to celebrate their fans by hosting an amazing giveaway! Twenty-four of our talented members have agreed to help sponsor our giveaway by donating a fantastic product from their shops.

Details are here

We have many other fun things coming down the line so if you want in on the fun follow along, join in or if you happen to be one of the talented artists that we may have missed head over to The Artisan Group's site and apply.

Oh Well...An Update

Next weekend was to be the Emmy event I was participating in, then further down the line the AMAs. Unfortunately due to a contract dispute (which has just been settled) I will not be participating in either of them.

I do however have some events coming up in January and I am very excited about them. The first is to be the Golden Globes.

I ordered the supplies for the gift bags to one of the shows this afternoon. I have been sick the past three days and I slept off all of Sunday. I just can't bear to watch tv so I pulled up the computer to the couch and I surfed under the comfort of a soft blankie with a box of tissues and miscellaneous cats by my side. I ordered enough supplies to offer extra to anyone wanting to buy them. What is it you ask? Well can't tell that either in case it is a complete disaster and they do not come out right.  It is something new I am trying with my artwork, it is not a new technique by any means, just something new for me.

Some of you may be wondering when the next issue of Indie Arts And Illustration is coming out. Well Dorothy planned for it to hit the virtual stands in September but it may be delayed a bit. My 10 year old Dell XPS, the one I love so dearly is starting to show it's age and can not keep up anymore. It might be a while before I get a new one of have this one upgraded if that is possible. Since I am the one that does her layouts it is my fault the issue is backlogged. We do have a great lineup for the next issue, I can promise you that.

I think that will be it for now, whatever bug I have is really draining me and my whole body aches. It is time for some more rest.
