[info]katerinaart
***Newest update***



Happy New Year Everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and all the best
to you and your families in 2008!


2007 was a wonderful year for me art wise and i hope to continue
in the same path in 2008 and keep on improving,creating and sharing my work
with all of you


My apologies for the late update on my website in the new year,
it's been pretty a busy time for me personally and professionally.



I have some new artworks to share and some artworks i never
Posted on my website and thought it was time I did some updating in my galleries.



First i would like to share something new, a special Christmas gift portrait i did of a friend
Baby Patty
it was so much fun and joy to create this and to see someone's expression opening up
a gift you created with your own hands it's one of the best feelings ever, like i always say there is nothing
More beautiful and precious than the gift of art :)


For commission examples and fees feel free to check out my Commissions Gallery



Every new year i try to do some organization through my website and looking through my galleries
i realized i haven't added many artworks i have completed for
EMG/Portrait Adoption

specializing in RGP character and Portrait art.
You can check out many of those artworks in my Portrait Gallery
Several of my EMG portraits are available for adoption through
ellenmilliongraphics.com/EMG




I also did some updates in my Artist Bio
And added new art awards and books my work was published in the past year.



I'm currently keeping busy with commission work and personal artworks
which hopefully i will be posting soon, and ofcourse
for all of you who are on Ebay i will also be posting new mini artworks ACEOS + OSWOA's
on sale there as well.


For tube and graphic lovers out there who have purchased my work for this use there is a brand new 3rd pack

released on sale with my artworks from Artistic Minds Inc

Thank you so much everyone with
the Ipod help you all gave me :)
My brother downloaded itunes and it has been working
great,i think his ipod holds about 7 thousand songs!!
he has a big CD collection so he will be busy for a long time..lol

In other news have been running around attending
doctor appoitments with my dad and haven't
had much time to sit down and do much art
but i did sketch an aceo which i'm hoping to finish today
and i'm done with desiging with my calendar (which also took
a lot of time but i enjoy it and i'm learning a lot
about graphic design),which will
be published through lulu.com
will have more news and updates soon and i want to thank
everyone who voted on my poll and help me decide
what themes to go with :)

Talk to you all soon
*hugs*

Hello everyone :)
I need some help with Ipod's and Itunes if anyone is familiar.
My brother just got an Ipod and i'm doing some research for him
trying to find out how they work and from where to download
music from....

is Itunes the only place i can use the ipod to download music from
? or are there
any free sites or not available?

If anyone is using itunes or has an ipod and can suggest
any good sites or how to use them i would appreciate it so much

Pearl Paint...
sailingboats, greece, greek islands, sea goddess
[info]katerinaart

Last evening i updated my DA journal and thought i post it here too,
I found this FANTASTIC art store called Pearl Paint it's an art discount store-
there are not many of them around the country you can click their store locator page
to view where they are available, the good news is they do have a online store:

http://www.pearlpaint.com

Found one in Long Island accidently while going to Home Depot to return some
window blinds-and it was located in the same mall, i immedialtey went in
and i was in art heaven!!! not only did they have all art brand supplies i was
looking for their prices
are so much better and cheaper than Micheal's art store and other art/craft
stores i have visited.

The store is huge !! I bought this black looking professional art portfolio
the best part it comes in all sizes i bought the 11x14 to fit my bigger artworks,
found some borden and riley drawing vellum paper i wanted to try for a very long
time bunch of pencils and picked up some erasers too :)

they have so many brushes and watercolor pads,paints ,canvas,boards,frames,beads,cross stitch designs, whatever your
art passion they have it!! I can go on and on about the store,just wish it was closer to where i live,
i don't drive so whenever my dad or brother go there i get a ride.
I can't wait to go again :)
