Secret Moon Art

Such good news for those among us who love to draw! Upload your artwork to the Drawing Day site on June 4, 2011 to be included in an online gallery and a chance to have your work published in the Drawing Day book. Being as prolific as I be, it's a bit of a head-scratcher to decide which image to upload - Children's, Botanical, or Adult themed? Perhaps something botanical from my Dreamyfish Art collection? Or should it be a freshly drawn offering? Options, You've Got Options Now you may prefer various options such as checking out the Drawing Day *FaceBook page, or using DrawPlus software by Serif for creating your entry in a spiffy way. Me, I'm old school: colored pencils on paper, and drawing for the love of it (since I could hold a pencil, age 2 1/2. Keeping enough paper on hand for a kid who loves to draw is a real challenge for parents, isn't it?) Another idea is using YouTube to upload a video of your very self caught in the act of drawing , perpetrating in...

Oh look! A little Silverbelly has floated in from Dreamyfish Art to Secret Moon Art to crow a bit - well, to glub, actually - over today's capping of the BP oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico! Oil is now longer flowing as of BP's efforts today so let's hope the oil keeps not flowing, shall we? Woot! Then perhaps my faith in the flavor of the July 11, 2010 Solar Eclipse isn't completely misplaced even though today's success (coming a mere 4 days after the Eclipse!) is temporary with BP saying they plan to 'plug' the well in August, which is meant to be a more permanent solution than today's 'tight-fitting' cap. The July 11, 2010 Solar Eclipse in oceanic, watery Cancer (@19Can24, the sign of the crab!) contains a flavor of 'things at first seem worse, then clear with successful outcomes' so after all these weeks of oil, gas, and dispersants ruining the waters, shores, and livelihoods of the Gulf Coast region, this 'clearing' outc...

Here I sit typing late in the evening (after midnight actually), and wondering if you've ever seen this scanned image - it's the center page of one of my Felt Activity Books, this one made for Little Miss Violet whose Bubbles-In-Waiting Tutorial may be the gloriously sudsy solution for all your low-spirited spots and smudges! ~:~ Note: planet, lower left , is actually Dark Red in color and doubles as a pouch where the stars 'hide' when the book is put away, only to be placed up in the night sky next time around by a delightfully designing child. Parental supervision is required until a suitable age; not for under 4 years old. Ordering is Limited, contact: judecowell at gmail dot com. Prices in $100 - $150 range (+ shipping) due to the individualism of each book; pages have a variety of scenes and activities. Exs: apples from tree to barrel; fish and starfish swimming with seaweed, numbers and letters, flowers, and more. Your child's name becomes the book's ti...

Have you heard of Adam Neate of London, England? He's an artist who gives his artwork away for free by leaving it on the street! Have you heard of American artist, Jude Cowell? She gives her artwork away free online! In America, leaving artwork on the streets can get you a citation for littering. Besides...have you seen my artwork? Clown surgeonfish of Western Australia, drawing by jude cowell 2009, from my Dreamyfish Art collection. Float on by and say hello when you can.
