A Much Needed Update

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 11, 2008, 10:08 AM
Update:
Wow, so much is going on right now, I don't even know where to start! Here are some highlights from what I've seen in my inbox:

Marketplace

First, how would you like to buy and sell tangible items on dA? Not just prints and mugs and such, but crafts, signed prints and original artwork? You would? I thought so! Then go sign the petition that ^ArtisticAunJuli started, to expand deviantArt to be a "marketplace"! Details are here: [link]

Juli's Book Club

^ArtisticAunJuli, being the busy bee that she is, is also starting a book club! Go here for details: [link]
I'm planning to participate, you should too! ;)

Lets get Lit

$Moonbeam13 and ^StJoan are encouraging us to get Lit!
(See this journal and also this one.)
"I challenge you to read another literature piece and post a journal about it encouraging your watchers to read it and write a journal about something they read.. we can start a movement here, we can shine the light on this often overlooked artform."

So here's my selection, by ~zephyrchaser:

It's the heady atmosphere of the poem that got me.
(I'm also making it my "Pick of the Month" :))

AIDS Walk Houston

Speaking of ^StJoan, she'll be walking in this year's AIDS Walk in Houston, so go support her! [link]
(Details in her latest journal... just scroll down a bit :))


Well, I'm sure I'm forgetting something that I wanted to highlight... but this should be enough for the moment. ;)

Cheers, everyone! :ahoy:

Be sure to check out the Avatar Makers List! :pointr: [link]


My Pick of the Month:
The heady atmosphere of To a roommate, antesunrise makes this intoxicating poem by ~zephyrchaser a must read!

There's good stuff here if you know were to look. ;)

Go look at *soul-lozenge for poetry - her work is top notch!

Journal History

Shoutboard

The Avatar Request Queue has been discontinued. I'm just too busy these days to have a backlog of avatars that I know I can't get to. I will still do an occasional avatar and (probably more often) stamp, but they'll be for special reasons and at my discretion.

Avatar Gallery:
Here's a collection of most of the avatars I've created.
Note: if you're done using an avatar I created for you, let me know and I'll make it available to others. If I notice someone has stopped using one of my avatars, I reserve the right to give it to someone else.

available (names can be changed):


Specialty Avatars:



My Stamp Creations

Yes, I also do stamps. :) But my avatar list takes priority over stamp requests (except in special circumstances - as determined by me ;)).
