Follow the RULES to VOTE...AND EVERYONE VOTING and :+fav:ING THIS BLOG will enter a draw to win 100 :points:. The participants may and should click the Favourite Button too - you have another chance to win more points!

Lovely Xmas Cards

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 13, 2012, 5:59 PM
I asked you to send me Xmas Cards

Christmas is coming...HolidaysHolidaysHolidays Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Santa Clause HolidaysHolidaysHolidays
Hello all
Let me start by saying once again how I love this community - most of you are incredible artists and genuinely good at heart, I won't get tired of saying this but I'm sure some are really tired of reading this :D
And did you read about the Holiday Card Project?

 I support it, of course, and I'm going to participate.
But I was thinking...a few years ago I used to send many Xmas cards to family, friends and clients and received many too, but know emails and phone messages took over the Christmas spirit! I miss receiving those lovely and colourful cards :(
Do you miss them too? Will you join me and share some?
Here's my proposal: anyone sending me a Xmas card will get one back!
Starting from today until the 14th Dec


and some of you did and I got some beautiful Holiday Cards! :iconloveemoteplz:

Dear May =MayEbony from Australia, sent a card from a lovely personal photo and dear Gigi *gigi50 from Canada, also sent a card with a photo taken by her - thank you sweet friends :hug:

But I have also received cards from Spain =mylittlebluesky, Czech Republic *A-J-Crowley and today from Finland *JoannaMoory
I'm very happy and, as promised, all people who sent me Xmas Cards got one back (I hope you got it by now) and is featured here. Much love for all and have a great Christmas :holly:, full of joy and health.

HolidaysHolidaysHolidays Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Holiday Card Project Stamp by $Heidi Santa Clause HolidaysHolidaysHolidays




Hello all. Dance Cheshire Dance . by ~SugareeSweets


Let me start by saying once again how I love this community - most of you are incredible artists and genuinely good at heart, I won't get tired of saying this but I'm sure some are really tired of reading this :D
And did you read about the Holiday Card Project?

Holiday Card Project 2012
It's back!  With the goal of bringing a little cheer to patients in the hospital during the holiday season, the deviantART Holiday Card Project connects deviants from around the world and applies their tremendous artistic abilities in designing and creating uplifting holiday cards.
In past years, the Project has received more than 5,000 cards sent in by more than 1,000 deviants from 50 different countries/political regions. Cards were then divvied up and distributed in-person by deviantART members to local Los Angeles, CA hospitals, with additional cards given to various hospitals in the U.S. and abroad for hospital staff members to hand out to patients.
The idea behind the Holiday Card Project is simple: do something nice for others. However, if you're looking for even more incentive, every deviant who submits a card will be given a free one-month Premium Membership to deviantA


 I support it, of course, and I'm going to participate.
But I was thinking...a few years ago I used to send many Xmas cards to family, friends and clients and received many too, but know emails and phone messages took over the Christmas spirit! I miss receiving those lovely and colourful cards :(
Do you miss them too? Will you join me and share some?
Here's my proposal: anyone sending me a Xmas card will get one back!
Starting from today until the 14th December send to

                               Elsa Gil
                               Rua Sebastião de Lima, 21-2.º
                               2500-277 Caldas da Rainha
                               Portugal

a Xmas card, it can be big or small, bought or done by you, simple or sparkling, anything counts!
Give me your address and I'll send one back. Also write anywhere on the card your deviant name so I can feature you here - I will feature everyone who participates and also before Xmas I'll make a draw to give dA subs of 3 months to 4 participants.

Let me share...

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 5, 2012, 9:42 AM


:icontransparentplz:

Hello my friends :iconcocowaveplz:


You know how much I love being here on dA and how deeply thankful I am for being able to contact with so many talented, kind, generous and truly wonderful artists. How well they receive me among them, talking to me and giving me their friendship, to me!, an art lover but not an artist, and how they amaze me each time they post and share another work.


Let me share with you 3 of the most amazing pencil wizards:





Robyn *robdolbs is one of those artists, very young but with a huge talent (in my opinion, and I said this to her more than once, she reached perfection  - of course she, as a true artist, won't recognise this and will continue to work hard to be better and better).
See for yourself:











You may find all of Robyn's works here [link] :iconrobdolbs:
Visit to find more brilliant pieces.




:iconstardivider1plz::iconstardivider2plz::iconstardivider3plz:




Mayumi *MayumiOgihara is an extraordinary pencil artist who draws ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) with such detail that it seems to be impossible for a human hand and eye - remember these little pieces of art measure 2,5 X 3,5 inches/ 6,3 X 8,9 centimetres!











You may find all of Mayumi's works here [link] :iconmayumiogihara:
Visit to find much more than ACEOs and to be totally amazed!




:iconstardivider1plz::iconstardivider2plz::iconstardivider3plz:




Sweet Zakkiya *zakkiya29 is a lovely young woman inside and outside, she leaned how to master the colours and surprise us always with vibrant works.











Of course, her gallery has plenty more, visit here [link] :iconzakkiya29: to find beautiful graphite pieces.

By the way, it's her birthday, go and give her a big hug :tighthug:




:iconstardivider1plz::iconstardivider2plz::iconstardivider3plz:




:bulletgreen: I need your help to win some points! Go here [link] and vote
You know I'm always collecting points for my group, so if you can take a little time to vote I'd appreciate very much.


:bulletgreen: Paula =pbird12 needs some votes here [link] too. It's a Facebook poll, so if you have a FB account help her to win. This is her piece


:bulletgreen: Also to all pencil artists who like to do portraits, I have a Commission/Contest going on until the 30th October. See all the details here [link]






:bulletyellow: NOTE:
This is my personal journal but it is going to be published on #TheFavouriteShowcase since these wonderful artists are members and I'm trying to reach more people (also any amount of points collected are always for the group).

Thank you all so much for your attention!

:iconsvenjaliv: Quick update, giveaway, and contest winners!I've been really remiss in posting and commenting around here, I know. Life has been hectic. Some of my family members went nuts, and I wound up spending FAR too much time looking at legal documents and reading up on German law. Protip: never do this. German law is some of the most boring, awkwardly-phrased literature you'll ever find. :roll:
So I've had fairly little free time. Things should hopefully relax a little now, though, and let me get back to looking at everyone's gorgeous art! I have over 50,000 messages in my inbox right now. :faint: If I've missed anything that I should really see, please please tell me!
To make up for my lack of activity at least a little, I'm doing a giveaway! :aww: Up for grabs is this drawing of Jensen:

Just leave a comment on this journal with the :star: smiley somewhere in it. The code for that is : star: without the space. I'll pick a random person from all the entrants and they'll win the drawing!

NOW, THE PROMISED SURPRISE!!!

All members who have entered the contest and who have voted in all categories without having to, have now the chance to win 2 prizes: 383 points (the same prize as the 3rd place) and another prize of 190 points!
Why? Because they took the time to participate, to get involved in the group actions and to help the winners by voting :thanks:


Well, this (like the idea behind our Poll System), will be a game of exposure...with some prizes at the end :D

The idea is simple: each member entering our contest who voted the 3 categories without having to (i.e. members participating only on one or two categories), have now the possibility to win a prize (383 points for the 1st place and 190 for the 2nd) - one of their participating works or the only participating work on the contest is featured here with a number before the thumb. Choose the deviation you prefer and comment writing the correspondent number, but...you'll choose not one but 3 favourites!
All deviants may vote, INCLUSIVE who are participating; the participants may vote for themselves and ask friends and watchers to vote; this blog may have publicity by all means and be submitted in groups.
The work with most votes wins 383 :points: and the second most voted work wins 190 :points:.

Follow the RULES to VOTE...AND EVERYONE VOTING and :+fav:ING THIS BLOG will enter a draw to win 100 :points:. The participants may and should click the Favourite Button too - you have another chance to win more points!
And so you can have more possibilities to win I'll give 3 prizes of 100 points!
Vote and let your friends know about this voting!



RULES to VOTE


(read careful, it's very simple)
(everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of #TheFavouriteShowcase).



1. Choose your favourite 3 works from below;

2. See the correspondent number before the thumb? Comment on this blog by writing the numbers of your favourite works, like this:

:iconrainbowla-plz: WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD



" I see trees of green, red roses too
 I see them bloom for me and you
 And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

 I see skies of blue and clouds of white
 The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
 And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

 The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
 Are also on the faces of people going by
 I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
 They're really saying "I love you"

 I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
 They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
 And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
 Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

 Oh yeah"

:icontransparentplz:

 





Hello dear friends, watchers, members of #TheFavouriteShowcase and deviants in general :) How are you?


I'm sorry I haven't been around, I have some things to do here on dA and all got delayed because life, in its darkest side, got on the way. Unfortunately one of my employees lost his only child, a 17 years old boy, in an accident. I don't know how it is in other countries, but in Portugal, it's like a curse, we keep seeing our youth, specially boys, dying from stupid road accidents, some are about the speed, some about drugs or alcohol and careless driving, and others, without no explanation like this case...
...so sad :iconreallysadplz:




Anyway, before talking about kiribans and dA subscription draws, I want to bring to your attention a project which came to my knowledge through an invitation to participate on it.

 

TASartDErgi started to be issued in 2012 in Eskişehir, Turkey.

A new breath in web magazines, offering news, attention to art lovers and the world of art.
Trying to share personal stories behind the featured works, dreams, hopes, expectations, language, describing an intimate atmosphere from different cultures.

My work is on the 2nd Issue - Colours, a Turkish/English edition.
As many works present in this number are from dA members, I thought I could help promoting the magazine in my group #TheFavouriteShowcase having one folder [link] dedicated to this project.

The third issue of TASartDErgi magazine has as theme "Sea salt in art, Aegean and Mediterranean Coasts".
Participating countries: Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Jebel Tariq-i (Gibraltar).

If you have a work which suits this theme and you want to be published in the magazine with any contents relating the "Sea salt in art, Aegean and Mediterranean Coasts", news, articles and/or pictures, please send an email to tasartdergi@gmail.com. You can send your works until the 15.06.2012.




:iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz::iconcrowd-plz:




Also I want to congratulate my dear friends Paula =pbird12 and Klaudia *gold-rose who share the same birth day!

HAPPY B-DAY :blowkiss:

NOW, :eager: THE KIRIBANS AND DRAWS !!!


SO, WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN A ONE MONTH SUB?


:bulletblue: If you are my watcher or a member of #TheFavouriteShowcase

Fave this journal [link] and comment on why you want to change your username and let me know which will be your new name; (this will be a draw and I'll be using the number on the Faves List to find the winners on the 25th May).

So these are the lucky deviants who will get to change their username:
(comment below to acknowledge your prize, I'll give it as soon as possible)

:bulletorange: For all deviants, including the ones participating on the draw:

Try to catch my page views: the lucky numbers are the 99.999, 100.000 and 100.001! Send me a screen print by note.
You didn't catch those numbers but you were close? Send me the screen print anyway, you may get luck if no one caught the lucky numbers...


Kiribans caught by:

99.999 :iconpaperthin-z: (1 month sub)

100.000 :iconetoilelituanienne: (1 month sub)

and 100.002 :iconcarcaneloce: (396 points)

No one caught the 100.001.


This Kiriban thing was a surprise, because I don't care much for page views, mine or others :shrug: but this seems to be very popular :D maybe I'll do it again some time...

GREAT CONTESTS


 :star: :iconthefavouritecontests::iconthefavouritecontest2: Only for members of #TheFavouriteShowcase

Easy contest with subs as prizes for the 3 winners on each folder, RED, BLUE and YELLOW!


    * Deadline is the 20th June 2012 (it won't be extended).
    * Voting from the 21st June until the 29th June.
    * Winners will be announced on the 1st July.

All rules here The PRIMAL COLOURS of RENEWAL - delayed:icontransparentplz:
Hello to all members of #TheFavouriteShowcase
Unfortunately, due to some issues I have to deal, I'm not able to count the votes and reveal who are the winners on the 1st July. I'm really sorry, I don't like to leave without finish a chore. And I'm not sure when I can continue the counting...I'll do my best to let you know the results as soon as possible, not in this weekend as promised, but in the next one.
I beg you to understand and besides the other prizes, to compensate the ones who have already voted for all categories without having to, I have a surprise with one more prize.
Thank you for all your support :hug:

Take a look. You may join until the 30th October.

Traditional Artists Contest *more or less closed?EDIT:
Hello Traditional Artists :wave:
Today was the last day of my commission contest. I'm very thankful to all who have participated for their kindness and good will. I have chosen 3 works to buy as it was my primal intention and soon I'll be contacting the authors so we can agree on the terms of purchase.
I was contacted to extend the contest period, but as you can easily understand, this is not a regular contest: I think that any of you, traditional artists reading this, who have the will to produce a piece accordingly the rules below can contact me any time to show me a WIP or a finished work. If I like the piece, I'll buy it :nod:
Also below (scroll down to the end of the article) you can find my favourite works, wonderful pieces, just like I was looking for.
For now I'll remove the references I don't want any more but I'll keep the others available until the end of January 2013, so you are welcome to use them as I'm still commissioning you!
Thank you to all :blowkiss:
