I posted this in my DA journal and also wanted to share here...

I was so shocked when my mom
informed me of Michael Jackson's death,
i didn't believe her and turned on CNN and sure enough
it was real, I'm just so shocked and sad :(

I grew up listening to his music
and loved the way he danced.
Thriller in my opinion will always
remain the BEST music video out there.

I know he was getting ready for a comeback
with sold out concerts in London
it's so sad he never got a chance to do this.

I will always remember him as
as an amazing talented artist.

Way back in the 90's i did a fan art drawing
of MJ if i find it I will upload it .

I have so many favorite songs of his but the one
that i always loved to listen to and even made me
cry was "Ben" I loved it.
I just wanted to post a little something in tribute
because his music and talent left an impact on me
My condolences to his children and family.
Rest in peace MJ,thank you for all the music.

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

To ALL my Irish friends, supporters and fans of my artwork wishing you a lovely green Holiday :)

Over the years i created several st paddy's themed artworks but due to not feeling well ,
i didn't have the time this year, the transition from winter to spring sometimes bothers me
especially my stomach ulcer.

In other art news i finally updated my website with a new look(many thanks to everyone who helped me with the firefox problem) with a new added gallery with my very early work :)
http://katerinaartworks.ipower.com/oldartgallery.php
i didn't realize how many early works i had once i started going through them but i did my best to share a lot of it :)
When i have time i would love to do a summary page to post in my journals :)

AMI released a new 5th package with my artwork for all the tube graphic lovers out there :)

That's about all my news,
hopefully i will have some new art to share soon,
with all my love

Hi guys,
just a little note and update thanking you all for your
help with firefox, glad to report the problem fixed!!
I did have the newer version of firefox 3.0.7
and what i did was clear out all the private data and
it worked!! i can see my new website look just
fine now :) and no problems with ipower.com either.
thanks again :)
~Kat~

hello everyone!!
Seems i'm having problems with blogger links now firefox

so sorry for the panicky title but this thing is driving me insane!!

I decided to give my website a more springly look nothing major just changed the graphic image and text color the coding wasn't changed at all.

The problem is the new changes show up on IE browser but NOT firefox browser ...i rebooted my pc,
cleaned out cookies, history etc...nothing, i still can't view the new look...
I also asked another friend who uses firefox and told me the same thing
they can't view the new contents/changes.

I checked my ipower.com service my website service host in the file manager
where i uploaded my css file and noticed something strange when i click to edit the file i can see the new css file with the text color and image changes once i click save and go back to check it goes back to the old css file with my snowqueen image and look.

I contacted ipower.com and told them about this , they have been really helpful,
but now i'm really worried because they told me they have firefox and can view all the changes perfectly and i was adviced to install the new updated firefox version...the thing is the updates happen automatically, and i don't know where to go to get a new update?
anyone using firefox can you please tell me how to update? i dont even know which version i have.but i do know an automated update happened a few days ago.


For all of you who use firefox even if you dont and have other browsers would you
please just for a second click my website and tell me which image/look you see?

I have 2 screenshots of my old look website and new look website


OLD LOOK



NEW LOOK


so sorry to bug you with this, i just like to know what shows up .

~Kat~
