Happy Halloween! Prize Winner Announced!

I am so excited! I finally figured out how to sorta kinda make an animated Gif! Like a little kid, I got so excited, I couldn't wait to show you so had to put this in here first thing. I'm sorry for the blurry quality. I had trouble saving it in the large size so had to sacrifice quality and size to keep all of my frames. I'll get better at this! (more at the bottom of this post)

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and for playing along. The person randomly drawn to win the $10 coupon to my shoppe at DeviantScrap.com is . . .

Rebecca Trevino of Obtainium Art


Rebecca, email me and I will send you your coupon and let you in on a little secret that makes this coupon so special. I numbered the comments in order and then used the Random Number Generator. The rest of you will have to wait another day or two to find out what HUMUNGOUS thing is coming later this week! And, I'll show you one more way you could win a $10 coupon!

Flying Free . . .
The theme at DeviantScrap in November is Flying Free, as in freestyle work and any other interpretation you're inspired to imagine. For me it means a surrender to the Muses, an aspiration to take to the wind and enjoy what you find when you land. Pooh on preconceived notions, dare to be off-beat, delight in nonsense, and embrace whimsy!

This is the fist of two Freestyle kits I'll be releasing in November. The previews below are linked to their spots in the shoppe.

And lastly . . . . Happy Halloween! That is me on the end, c. 1967 or so . . . some version of Batman - dress, cape and all. A neighbor boy was Huckleberry Hound and my brother was Flash. *sigh* Good times.

To whom it may concern

. . . thank you for taking the time to make the world a better place. Those little random acts of kindness, the little things you do that no one expects . . . those things DO make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes it turns everything around in a flash . . . it gives hope.

Whatever

Hello everybody! I've had lots more time to work on my own art lately but still manage to wonder where the time went. You probably do the same.

I've been looking at lots of journal style work lately . . . helping me through a tough phase, trying to connect to my work again. I shared some of Jade Adams work with you recently and look forward to sharing another of my favorite artists with you later this week.
