A few years ago, I ask the Great Void to make me busy!

Boy, did it ever respond!!

for Two years now, I've had my plate full!

I just got over three deadlines in two weeks! And they weren't for simple illustrations either!! I'm very happy that I'm this busy and having art directors seek me out for stuff that I really enjoy doing!

But there's an emptiness where once was something fullfilling.

I MISS WORKING ON MY OWN STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I re-arranged my studio space and discovered the true number of unfinished shadowbird art and other stuff that I started when I had the time.

Not to mention what I want to do on line with my work. Selling prints and such. Responding to comments by other Deviants. Especially all the friends I have made here!

Anyway, I guess I'm the type that is never satisfied.

That comes from my mother.


Thanks Mom!

Om Shanti Everyone!

but better late than never!

A bit of promotion and merchandising of Sagawood's very own Centaurina: Sage.

She's already for this year's Valentine's Day.

Enjoy.

I know, Zazzle has these wonderful flash links that advertise the products one chooses. Well, when I pasted the link to this journal entry, all I got in the preview was an emoticon jumbled in amongst of letters, numbers and whatnot.
So until I understand where I went wrong, I will just do this!
~P~

Well, the beginning of next week, I can finally be a good little Deviant and start responding to the comments and questions that other good Deviants have left on my site. I have had a good six month run of steady work for which I'm over joyed as any freelancer could be. However it left me a little unbalanced with only client work and very little accoplished anywhere else.
So, for the remaining half of the winter, I'm cutting down the amount of client work to be taken on in order to persue some overdue ideas as well as sprucing up my on line presence.

For starters, I'm thinking about adding to the DA Prints site as well as my CafePress site. Not to mention my own website.

As always, comments and ideas are welcome.

This site is well worth an hour of your time!!!

3 years ago Jeremy Adolfson e-mailed me and asked for wee freebee.
Normally, I would say no but his collection was so impressive I felt touched for him to ask me.

I couldn't give him a deadline and therefore it took me 3 years to get to give him 'Cerulean Poppy'.

Jeremy has been so patient that when he asked if I could post his URL on my DeviantArt Journal I didn't want him to wait another 3 years for the plug.

So check it out!

I thought I would head over to my husband's site to sneak a peek at his work on line. I don't know why I did this. I could have just sat with his book or one of his portfolios to peek at the wonderful imagery of fairy tale and fancy.

But I didn't.
So while I was there I took a peek at how many people decided to "deviantwatch" him. 585 people.

I went back to my site and again, checked the number of people who deviantwatched me.

585 people.

A canny coincidence?

Hmmmmmm.
