'Tis the Season

4 min read


Welcome! Thanks for visiting my site. I have recently decided to streamline things a bit. If you are a new visitor: I love the DeviantArt community and it is a wonderful resource for sharing art and receiving feedback from art appreciators and fellow artists, alike. I encourage you to leave feedback and to check out the other talented artists (the artists portrayed my Friends and Watchers list are a great start, along with some of my personal favorite selections in my Favorites section). If you are a long-time viewer: thanks again for your support! In my opinion, the community is the best part of DA, and your support and feedback is invaluable.
This site varies between a professional portfolio and the relaxed camaraderie of a local art house. I think some of these silly and less professional aspects also give the viewer a more personal insider-view of the art and the artist.
[FYI, I have the avatar of "Eicats" here, but all the artwork is by Stacie Taylor.]

My personal gallery contains a varied selection of my artwork, from traditional to digital paintings, to more graphical, business artwork— some are finished works that have been sold, and other works in progress that I hope to receive feedback on for future reference. I have decided at this time that I will not sell prints here. However, if you see the option for print available (buy this print) on one of my pieces, that means that there are one or more options available for other items, such as coffee mugs, mouse pads, greeting cards, puzzles, etc. I've simply decided that I would like to retain actual control over the full wall prints (I need to personally approve of the quality, and I would like the option to limit amounts). If someone would like to purchase a print of anything in my gallery, please note me to make arrangements.

Thanks so much for visiting my site!

...I'm feeling the urge for both.

If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away.
    --John Steinbeck


Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists of the elimination of nonessentials.
    --Lin Yutang


I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
    --Frida Kahlo


When one buys some of my artwork I hope it is because they will wish to learn from it and not because they think it will match their drapes!
    --Christian Cardell Corbet


All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
    --Pablo Picasso


It's better to feed one cat than many mice.
    --Norwegian Proverb

Welcome and thanks all for visiting my page! I am slowly easing into the new year, which means although I've gotten back into my regular work schedule, I'm still feeling a bit lazy and have gotten into the bad holiday vacation habit of sitting around and eating everything in site. So it should go without saying that I don't have much in the works right now for new artwork--except for a few ideas spinning about in my head.

I also may be checking into this site a bit less, as I want to start devoting some time to traditional artwork again. And thanks to Grondhammar articulating an issue I had been thinking of, I have given myself permission to only post something when I feel I have something worth posting: I vow to force myself to ignore that nagging feeling that I have to submit something new just because it's been awhile!

Of course, I could just be trying to legitimize my laziness. But...it's the closest I'm going to come to a new year's resolution, so there it is.

What are you resolutely resolving right now? :evileye:

It's that warm, glowing time where a person's face is flushed with the constant, burning, irritation and rage that only the stress of the holiday season can bring. Ahh, tradition. It's enough to make a gal sentimental.
:flirty:

All jest aside, for some reason, no matter how good circumstances are, it does seem that emotions get heightened this time of year. Expectations*hope/guilt±stress=meltdown!</i>
At least I have now completed my high-pressure project and now have a lovely calendar to thrust upon unsuspecting giftees. But already, I actually miss the escape that all-consuming art projects provide. Last year at about this time, I started uploading pieces right and left just because I needed the stress release that creating them provided.
[fair warning!]

But, I really am thankful and am looking forward to trying to bring as much magic to year's end as I can. I want to wish all of YOU the most magical, peaceful, and happy holiday season, no matter your persuassion. I appreciate so much the collaboration, instruction, and fellowship from everyone I've met here. Best wishes, all!
:blowkiss: :santa:

There's never enough time between now and year's end!

I just really, REALLY needed to update my journal. I've been frantically working on a calendar, but of course I waited too long to start, and have planned a much too grandiose design.
12 new artworks in a month?! it usually takes a month for one! now that is quality work. headdesk   

...So place bets one and all on whether I can get it done before the holidays. But I must finish it because I need it as a present for people I can't afford to buy for. Those poor, poor people!
