Hello World!
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. Said five times in the morning upon awakening, you will feel a smile spread across your face while you are saying it, leaving you smiling for no reason, other than remembering that Life is Beautiful!
UPDATE on my children’s book: I have chosen my wonderful artist from the submissions received, to do the illustrations for my children’s book, VIOLET’S MAGIC PURSE, the first in a trilogy. The moment I saw her illustration of Viuolet, for the book cover, I knew that’s how I would have sketched her, had I the time to do so. She was my perfect wild child! I’m so excited about getting together with the artist, Te Hsin (Cindy) Chiang today to review and refine the artwork, deciding what to change and where to place the 6 illustrations in the book.
UPDATE on my CREDIT SURVIVAL book, in final edit stage now…
I’ve put out another ‘Call for Illustrations’ to local high school art students to submit a cartoon mouse caught in a mousetrap, for the cover of this important book – ‘Credit Survival – Avoiding the 5 Major Credit Card Traps’.
If anyone out there reading this is interested in submitting artwork please contact me at my email address and I can send you the particulars. Deadline is March 15, 2011.
The reason I’ve decided to open art submission to high school art students, even local Art colleges like Lucas Center here in North Vancouver, is to provide an opportunity for art students to have their work in a published book if their illustration/s are chosen. Why? Because I never got the support for my artistic talent that may have made a huge difference while I was in high school. It provides them with an opportunity to add art in a published book to their portfolio. Besides, I may think Cosmically, but one starts by acting locally. Who better to support than young local artists? They’re more focused on developing their art rather than trying to make a living with their art. That challenge comes later …
inspirit, Elfie
