She also sells paintings and cameo pendants on eBay. Go here to see her official Web site, which is an art form in itself.

Digital art by dndartstudio

I'm still getting my feet wet in the world of digital art (mainly since I've only made two paintings so far), so I'm always looking to other artists as sources of inspiration. Well, check out some of the work done by dndartstudio, and you'll see why I'm motivated to make more of my own digital art:

Republished "ocean" digital painting

For some reason, when I published the painting on Zazzle back in August, the painting is only available in a small size. I republished it so that larger sizes are available. You can get it here:

VIDEO: Bob Ross - Why I Don't Paint People

This tribute to Bob Ross captures the essence of who he was as an artist and a person. I enjoyed watching him on TV as a child, and he was one of my artistic influences. And now, here's the clip:

Beautiful autumn greeting card

I don't know much about sumac, so I didn't know that the plant's leaves could turn such vibrant colors in the fall. Thanks to Zazzle contributor codfishlady for creating such a beautiful card.

This Zazzle contributor, Randy Medlin, joined my fan club, and after seeing his gallery, I HAD to join his fan club. Look at the cool stuff he's made:

Big sister and big brother T-shirts

My sister is expecting a baby in December, and she wanted her little girl to wear a "Big Sister" shirt to the baby shower. I designed one that had her name on it, but I decided to make one without a name and put it in the marketplace. I made a "Big Brother" version as well.

Stating the obvious

When I pictured this design in my head, I wasn't sure how well it would look on the product itself. Turned out better than I expected. :-)

If you know how to use blogs you can easily get more traffic to your website just by posting your keywords in the title and having your blogs indexed. Other ways to get traffic to your site is to use popular free traffic exchanges.

Simpsonize me!

I added an interesting new picture to my blog - an image of myself if I were a Simpsons cartoon. I went to the Simpsonize Me! Web site, uploaded a 640 x 480 picture, and the "machine" generated the cartoon, which I later modified. I chose the skin tone hairstyle, etc. You can also choose a background, and you can even have your image printed on a T-shirt or mug. Go ahead..give it a try. :-)
