Coloring E-Book now available!

Great news! Now you can purchase an e-book version of my Coloring book!

It's true. All you have to do is go to http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2523797, buy it, and I will email you the password that you need to access the e-book. From there, you can download it, and print out high-resolution images to color. I have included two additional images that aren't in the hardcopy of my book. The cost of the e-book is $8.00, and all proceeds go to my Surtex fund-raising!


Happy Coloring!

My Etsy Store

Wanted to see if this thumbnail store link from Etsy works.

5:31

It's 5:31PM on Thursday Sept. 16. I'm listening to Tara Reed's Art Licensing Call with Dena of Dena Designs. It's very informative, and inspiring, which is something I could use right about now. Been less than inspired lately. Dena says to always put your best foot forward, and it's best to create in a series. She says everyone's ready for mixing and matching, like mixing florals with stripes, and all that jazz. She says there are days when she doesn't feel like working, too. Nice to hear from an actual person who's been in the licensing industry for the past 25 years. She also started in the industry without ever having painted or drawn anything – quite the opposite, actually; she thought she hated to paint and draw.

She says if you're passionate about what you do, don't let anyone tell you you can't do it. No one knows whether you'll be the next one whose designs really take off. Inspiring.

That's all for now. I have to go feed some kitty cats.

Bye!

Back from Surtex

Well, it's May 31st (Happy Memorial Day to all), and I've returned from my first Surtex show. I think it went quite well, and I have several contacts with whom I can follow up. I don't want to give away the details yet, but I will keep updating to let you know if a deal is made! I'm excited at the prospect of seeing my artwork on products. It will be the culmination of more than 8 years' focus and work. I shall see it through!

Meanwhile, I've updated my Etsy store again, so it's chock full of cool stuff to buy, to help fund next year's Surtex show (I'm definitely wanting to go back). So head on over there (emmycat.etsy.com) and see if there's something you'd like. I appreciate any and all purchases and/or donations!

Off I go now, to do some more art, but I will keep you posted as to my progress! Thanks for reading!
