Hi guys!

I just took over as admin for the TeenWolfFans group and we are slowly saving up to become a supergroup!  I am trying to drum up some donations so I can spend a little less out of pocket to make it happen.  If you're a member or a fan of Teen Wolf or even just have some disposable points can you help me out?  I would be super grateful! <3

Obviously no worries if you can't but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. :)

Thank you!
-Meg

I'll be there with my pal Laura! Please do stop by and say hi so I can either hug you or squee at you!  :D  

QUESTION:

Are there any prints you guys would want to see in particular?  I'm trying to decide what to bring!

Thanks guys! Looking froward to hanging out at A-kon!

Hey guys!  Okay this is a little embarrassing and kind of AMAZING.  PBS used some of my art when they talked about Sherlock art on their fanart feature.  It's crazy!  I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.  [link]

Strangely they chose THE TUB PICTURE and my Sherlock Art Nouveau picture.  

     

You can view the small featurette here:  [link] PBS's Off the Books you tube channel.  
My art appears at about 1:13.

Haha, I still am super embarrassed that they chose my tub picture but pleased, too.

Anyways, do watch the entire thing, it's a very VERY complimentary piece on fanart!  :)  

Pssst, also both of those pieces are in my Etsy shop available for purchase if you want them:

Thanks for being patient!

HUGE ART THEFT WEBSITE. NEED HELP.

Tue Aug 16, 2011, 6:22 PM


EDIT4:

Ah, it's been moved!  I posted more info...

[link]

There is a news article here waiting for an update, too:
[link]

-------
(these links no longer work)
[link]
[link]

Art4Love . com is currently selling hundreds of works of art, ALL STOLEN from artists on Deviant Art, Fur Affinity and other sites.  PLEASE GO LOOK.  
If you see ANY art by artists you know, contact them and send them the link.  Ask them to file a DMCA with the site's host.

We can get them taken down. PLEASE spread the word, spread the information!
-------
EDIT:  If the site doesn't load right away, just refresh a few times.  It IS there, trust me I wish it wasn't  :(

EDIT2: Looks like they ARE down for the time being. Not sure why.  I saved screenshots here:  [link]
Worst of it is in the FAQ where they claim the art is original and not digital!

EDIT3:  Oh wow...it keeps getting worse.
THIS GUY is the culprit:  [link]
And he has a new site here:  [link]
Where he sells stolen art too.  :|

Post Metrocon & PRINTS for sale

Thu Jul 7, 2011, 10:44 AM


Oh man so Metrocon was fantastic, I met some awesome people and got to spend time with some folks I don't see as often as I'd like.  I cannot tell you how sweet all of you were and I am avoiding listing you guys because I just KNOW I will forget someone!  But oh man...so much kindness, I can't thank you enough.  :')

I also got to meet some of my tumblr friends AND ~MidnightZone (who is just adorable and lovely, I got some of her DC keychains!) and...well lets just say it rocked.

All my profits went to paying the remainder of my car repair bill which was exorbitant.  So yeah, thank you all so much, you have no idea how wonderful it was to come home and be able to do that.
-------------------------------------------------------------

In other news I am selling PRINTS.  And other things over on my Etsy account.  You can go see that here:

[link]

If there any prints you want to see up there, LET ME KNOW.  ALL of the prints are on high quality photo paper, the color is really impressive if I do say so myself!  I will keep adding more prints as people request them.  :)

Thanks so much guys, I really don't know what I would do without you all!  <3

Heading to Metrocon in Tampa FL

Wed Jun 15, 2011, 3:06 PM


Hey guys, just letting you know I will be at Metrocon this year!  :D  Come say hi?  
I'll be in the West Artist Alley at table 4J!  (Here's hoping they don't move me randomly?)

I will have badges, buttons, charms, prints and commissions.  <3

  • Watching: Ice Road Truckers (OH GOD DON'T ASK)
  • Drinking: La Croix! Mmm Lime...


Just curious if anyone here has room at Otakon to share a table with me!  I would love to go, I hear it's a great con!  :)

I'm interested in 50% table space and 1/2 of the grid arch (I am willing to bring enough grid pieces to create a whole arch) with a small banner hung from the cubes above. I'll pay for half the table (of course) but I am also willing to sell your work while you check out the convention. (I pretty much want to stay in the AA all weekend so if you want to have time to enjoy the con, I'd be happy to help man your table.)

I've worked both the Artist Alley and Dealer's Room before both as a vendor and as a worker for a vendor. I can get written recommendations from the people I've tabled with before if you would like and I have excellent ebay & etsy feedback.

Anyways, let me know if you're interested?  :D  I am doubting I'll get any offers but I figured it can't hurt to ask. <3

Thanks guys!

Animazement! And comments...

Mon May 23, 2011, 11:21 AM


Hey guys I am going to Animazement!

A friend offered to let me have a part of her table (she is so sweet!) and so I will be selling a few things there if I can get my act together.  

Anyone going? What would you want to buy if you wanted some of my work?

RE: Comment Stuff

In other news I'm really getting discouraged!  I am starting to think I should turn the comments off on the Sherlock Hogwarts picture.  Even though I say:

" PS: No need to comment if you just disagree with my house placement. :) "

in the artist notes...people still comment and argue!  :(   Argh,how can I be clearer?

Making Plans for MetroCon

Mon May 9, 2011, 12:39 PM


I'll be heading to  MetroCon in June.  I'm both really excited AND really stressed out.  

I have no idea what to bring with me!  That and I have zero anime fanart, I kind of don't think people would be into my art there.  BUT  I will figure it out eventually.  (If anyone has suggestions let me know!)

I am going to bring:

  • Prints

  • Postcards

  • Bookmarks

  • Charms

  • Buttons



The big thing I am working on is -charms- and I am planning to make SPN ones and possibly Tron, White Collar and Sherlock?  I am still not sure yet.  I may do a pre-sale of them online, too.

Is there anything specific you guys would like to see?  And is anyone else out there planning on going to MetroCon?  :)

I replied to someone's criticism of how the 'It Gets Better' movement was leaving out a large group of people being bullied.  While I am not the best at speaking or writing I wanted to share my thoughts again here since the conversation was deleted:

---------------

Why do you have a problem with people bringing attention to it?

People are starving in Africa, animals are being mistreated everywhere, sex trafficking is a plague, children are still getting molested.

Awful shit happens in the world.

But that doesn't mean you should criticize the people who are trying to being attention to a cause they believe in.

If you feel like it's leaving people out then throw your support behind a program that does what you believe in OR start your own movement.

There are far better things you can do with your time than discourage people who are trying to make a difference. That's just kind of....awful, to be honest. I mean really, you're criticizing people trying to help others. Just because it's not the 'others' you care about doesn't mean they're not trying to do something good.

Considering how little good is done in the world why not just let them DO IT instead of telling them they're doing it wrong.

---------------

Not very eloquent but hopefully the idea came across.

Trufacts: I hate PETA.  I find their methods and even some of their ideas (like putting down pets that need to be re-homed because they think it's more 'humane') repulsive.  So I support the ASPCA and my local shelters.  

Lets redirect negative feelings towards things like that and actually do something about something we care about instead, you know?  :)

I've had a lot of new friend additions lately and I've gone forth and added/faved TONS of stuff.  Fair warning though, I am a total space cadet, slow to reply to comments and always distracted with new shiny things.  My sincere apologies for not being more responsive!

Many thanks though for all the kind words!

Disappointed...

Wed Aug 11, 2010, 9:07 PM


I keep running into artists whose work I like...who hate 'yaoi'.  To those of you not up on the whole Japanese terminology stuff that's what 'slash' is though it encompasses original characters too.  Honestly it's cool to not be into it.  I get it.  Believe me when I say there are genres I don't get or don't have much interest in.  There are even genres I love (like slash) that have people in them that really rub me the wrong way.  

But even so, I try not to make blanket statements like 'I hate ____' because really, why waste the energy.  Also I can promise you there are people waiting to be judgmental about what YOU like while you judge others.  We're all fans and creative folks here, from the most popular professional fantasy artist to the 12 year old who posts their line paper art of boys kissing.  Hating is just....it's mean, man. Get over yourselves and have some fun.  It's all just FUN and I don't see any reason to take things like that so seriously as to actually HATE it.  You don't have to like it but come on.  Relax.  It's not hurting you.  

I love all kinds of things but I'm on a pretty big slash kick right now.  I really don't see anything wrong with that, though.  

Anyways, this just really bummed me out.  I was about to click 'watch' on this one artist and she had this big fat 'HATE YAOI' stamp that made me stop and go 'huh'. On top of that she made some generalizations about why she hates yaoi and people who like yaoi that weren't even close to true for many of the so called 'yaoi fans' I know.  

So the point of my journal is this (to all 10 of you who read these things ;) ) if you're about to get it on with the hatorade take a minute to think about it.  Then maybe find something better to do with your time.  Well, better than being condescending about a fellow fan and geek, if you know what I mean.

<3 you guys.  :)
