creating artwork and selling your artwork is 2 different things sometimes...the first is enjoyale and the second can be taxing, and sometimes enjoyable.

Etsy stuff: www.etsy.com/shop/saiaii

hope the new year finds everyone well!

Sorry I haven't submitting anything in a LONG time, I've been working and had much less free time to create what I want to make!

I've created a lot of book covers over the past few months, some are for self-publishing authors and some are for the Del Ray division of Random House ~ lots of fun to see those in print.

I'm always available for comission work, just email me: saiaii@saiaii.com

One day soon I will actually get caught up with my favorite artists here and submit some new art!

thanks for all the supportive comments! :heart:

the DA witchhunt thing gets rather old after awhile, or maybe i've gotten too old to argue :D

For those of you who noted me or send me a message regarding the renders I use, I'd be happy to explain how they were made and with what programs or give you examples of ones I've made, just note me :)

Groundhog Day

5 min read
More winter?? :tears:

It's been colder than cold here, -25 the other day, and I'm ready for some spring! :floating:


I've been busy busy busy...magazine covers and layouts, a book cover for Random House, other book covers, etc etc...I'm so thankful for the work though! :heart: and I'm always open for more commissions!

I haven't added to my Etsy store lately as I'm preparing for a March show here, but here's the link anyway! saiaii.etsy.com

Anyone want to create a custom CSS for me? :( I love the one I'm using now but I'd like one with my own work...if you're interested send me a note! I'd be happy to send you a print or a 3 month sub or something :)


It's still snowing :(  For you TV watchers, if you dont' have Showtime and have never seen the Dexter series - watch it!!! I don't like TV much but this is the best show!! :love:

I won the J.Jill "Nature of Compassion" contest that I had wrote about back in July, I know some of you voted and this journal is all for you....THANK YOU!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

here is my winning tshirt!  




It's available at all J.Jill stores and online! www.jjill.com/compassion/HowIt…

What's really cool is 100% of the sales of the shirt go directly to local organizations to help homeless women and children become self-sufficient.

They are also making note cards out of the top 10 designs.  I won a shopping spree and a very very very very incredibly awesome trip to www.artistacreative.com/ which I am very exicted about..i've always wanted to learn more about abstract painting and that looks like a pretty setting, plus I haven't been to cali in ages :clap: i had to do TWO tv interviews, and for those that know me that is basically like tourture since i'm not really a public kinda person...i also did two newspaper interviews but those were painless :) okay i will shut up now since i'm begining to ramble..i'm just really excited! :love:


Also, you can preorder Exotique 3 from Ballistic Publishing (2 of my works are in that one....the full page is of "Kira" which was created for Erth Chronicles.  If you haven't viewed the artwork for Erth stop by erthchronicles.com and check it out, you can contribute too!) www.ballisticpublishing.com/bo… - it would make a great holiday gift!

And...Spectrum 14 is out too (features one of my works) which is available here: www.amazon.com/Spectrum-14-Con…

:heart:

thanks again to those that voted!

:heart:


Oh...anyone wanna make me a custom CSS in exchange for a 2008 calender?? note me if you are interested and i'll let you know what i had in mind!
