About AI and some good news
I've joined stumbleupon.com and since then fascinating websites have surfaced upon my desktop when I click on the stumbleupon button in my browser.
The logo to the left stands for Amateur Illustrator a website that surfaced recently, it's not unlike the Drawn! blog or Illustration Friday only it's more of a gallery site for artists and illustrators seeking feedback on their art, or simply wanting to share what's on the drawing table. I must admit I cringe at the word amateur, but when I saw the quality of art at the site I was really impressed. And as the founder states, the true meaning of "amateur" means to create something you really love and when you create with passion it's often better than something made when one is lacking that inner fire. Feast your eyes on some of the galleries:amateurillustrator.com
A couple of days ago I found out my envelope art piece that I sent over to London was accepted (200 out of 600 pieces were chosen!) to be in the mailmeart book. I was flabbergasted to learn of this and thrilled that I now can say I'm "internationally published". I had so much fun decorating my envelope that I guess you could say I loved creating it with amateurish glee. Check out: mailmeart.
