Healing Hearts art show!!

03/23/2013

An art show! I have a few friends who are all artists, as well as Theresa, an artist herself with her healing massage & welcoming presence, I just know the 2 days will be awesome!
I have known Linda, David and Ellen for years and we all enjoy each others company - what more of an excuse did we need to work together to bring our art together!?
NONE! ;-) I hope you join us! I am looking forward to spending quality time with my friends surrounded by art, music and love.
Each one of us has a gift to offer, a talent to share and we hope by having a relaxed art show people will enjoy themselves and leave feeling inspired. Make it down!
We will have munchies, tea, coffee and ART! All forms of art!

** I personally will not have any Cannabis related art at this show, other than my comic book (I apologize) as you are aware the Treating Yourself EXPO is in May, and I must save cannabis influenced art for that show. Thank you.

Hallmark card! #2!!

It's out! In stores now!

My second Hallmark card!
They are in Hallmark stores in Canada (my husband saw it at the Walmart sore-also carry Hallmark) in the shoebox collection area from now until February 2013. I must admit it is NEAT! It was fun with my first card and equally fun with this one! Now, who do I send it to!? Drawing this card was easy I just had a mental flash back of roller skating at the terrace in my red sequin tube top and LOVED my clackers- until they almost broke my fingers.
There is no greater feeling being a cartoonist than to see your stuff in print.
I feel blessed to be in so many quality magazines -some of the BEST available! Now Hallmark cards! I am excited and inspired to set a new goal. 3 cards!
To think I almost did not enter the contest but then I said what I say to others
- What have you go to lose? Nothing. Nothing if you don't try!
I had a friend recently tell me he has had "his story rejected 3 times so - oh well..."
I laughed in my head - I have a -2- I have 2 duotangs full of rejection letters!! I kept them because I knew one day I would be published and I can look back and see that they were just pieces of paper. Even the rejection letters got better as time went on, with comments and encouragement from publishers. I will never give up again when there is something I want to accomplish.
I might not accomplish it but I know I will have tried and given it my best.
That is ALL we can do. Our best. Over and over and over again - until we get it right.

Drawing Lesson # 2!

Yippie! It's Saturday! My guys are home, Norm is alive still but I'm not sure for how much longer as he has decided to rip up the front hall. SIGH. CRANK the music and LOOK away!
20 years and this is why we are still married.. Look away! Well from all the renovating anyhow - It's livable - it's only Paint - it's people that are most important ( floor vibrating from jackhammer as I type).
I drew a card for someone very special this week. I did several to send out as gifts ;-)
I thought I'd have some fun with a happy little BEE for lesson 2. Keeping it easy - It's all JUST shapes ;-)
I had a crazy moment yesterday, my son took me out to buy me running shoes! - Something I have done at least - let's see he's 19 so.... 60 times? But this time he paid ! For me! hahaha! Very cool purple and pink NIKE, I have not taken them off since I tried them on.
It was a Twilightzone " moment for me really. I had flash backs of those very first pair of Barney booties! ;-))) It was wonderful moment.
So I drew some stuff just for fun, not to make a point, not to educate
- JUST FOR FUN. It is important to do that just for fun stuff. I especially had fun with the card and had an anatomy lesson at the same time.
I drew it with T.L.C.
I draw all my stuff with TLC.
Todays cartooning lesson! BEE HAPPY!!!
Last weeks winner - a comic book goes to P.A. of T.O.! Way to GO! (you can see it below - she put a lot of work into it! She said she did enjoy it and shall keep practicing!
Send me your Bee's Please! Take the photos with your cell phone - I don't care! I'm excited to see them. I hope you draw a little Bee and it makes you smile - even it it's all you can draw - you can draw something!
