During the Middle Kingdom period of ancient Egypt (around 2000 BC), a popular member of their pantheon of gods was the crocodile headed deity Sobek.  He personified military strength and power as well as the fertility of the Nile and was, not [...]

Jewelry Pictures

I’ve been selling my work on 1000 Markets lately (a place for selling only finished artwork) and it made me think about the kinds of pictures I should include. What do people really want to see when they buy jewelry online? These are the 4 pictures I generally include for a necklace. Are there any [...]

Entrecard Changes the Rules…. Again

So now Entrecard isn’t going to charge you to not run an ad from someone you don’t approve of. Many thanks to all of my blog readers who saw the change and let me know! That was my big beef with the changes, so I guess I’ll take a wait and see attitude too. Now [...]

Nature as Inspiration

I love using nature as inspiration for my art. Nature is beautiful, majestic, and sometimes awe inspiring. What I don’t like so much is actually being in nature.
