    ..If there is a way to filter junk mail/ spam on enchantedfolk?

    I like to reply to every genuine email concerning myself or my work, whether it be on facebook, hotmail or on enchanted folk. When these spammers keep bombarding my inbox with false letters to me, it makes communicating to the genuine emails very difficult.

    I just wondered if there was anything i could do to filter it out? If not, it's ok. Hotmail is getting to be as bad concerning these false letters, despite it having a junk mail catcher.

    I thought it was because i was single but apparantly it happens to everyone regardless.

     

    Thanks

    It's been awhile

    Friday, February 25, 2011, 6:40 PM [General]

    I've not been on this site for awhile due to art projects. But i've always been grateful for the friends i've made here.

    I've almost completed the artwork for a second tarot deck entitled "Simply Deep" by Chanel Bayless.

     

    www.tarotreadingsite.com/for-tarot-reade...

     

    I've really enjoyed illustrating the cards. I don't want to discuss it much until it's official, but most likely it will be picked up by quite a recognised publisher in the United States. I have another 2 illustrations to do, plus a back that will be used for all the cards.

    Good Lord in heaven...imagine that! these buzzards trying to pick on a poor old single man's weaknesses. What type of woman would be interested in me lol

    I wish Favour would do me a favour and not try to eventually screw me out of money...but, sure we can't have it all lol

     

    Right...said to myself i'd go out for a walk and get some air. Just thought i'd let people know there are still spammers about.

    A second deck in the works

    Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 4:51 PM [General]

    Hi Enchanted folk :D

     

    It's been a little while since i've written here. There was a time that i had quite a bit of time to write things, but my time seems to be quite occupied the past 4-5 months. But that's a good thing. I do not like my mind to be idle and it is good that i keep pressing on with my artworks.

    I have been commissioned to do a second tarot deck by Chanel Bayless which will have 78 cards ( the first had a total of 94). The first deck has now been released as a deck, LWB (Little white book) and tarot bag (made in a village in peru). This is released at 50 dollars U.S.

    akingsjourneytarot.com/

     

    I am most fortunate to be accepted by the greater part of the online tarot community despite not actually being a tarot reader. Being new to that community, i did not know of the Authors and deck creators that are widely known in that community, but they are slowly but surely befriending me. Dax Carlisle's Tarot Today was the first time i had been on a radio show and i was a bit nervous to do that. Due to the time difference, it was about 2am -4am my time, but these things a young man must do to further his artistic work.

    I have been asked to be on the show later on as the second deck nears completion. I may get a guest spot on Donnaleigh de la Rosa's radio show, hopefully that will happen. I did not initially set out to be a Tarot artist,but i find the symbolism and challenge in telling a story in one picture to be quite interesting. I also find the strange mysteries of seeing the future quite a bit intriging.  I've always liked the idea of telling stories through pictures and this has fallen into my lap. It seems quite apt.

    But despite all of this Tarot artwork, i am creating a souvenir business with my brother. I find myself divided a bit, by working on two avenues. There is much to be done on the souvenir front. Everyone who sees my postcards say that they will sell without a doubt. I hope they are right. I could have taken a few photos and made postcards of them, but the market is flooded with them. I can only compete with a unique thing. I hope my art will suffice lol

    We have located a company west a little from us, which may supply mugs. I am pleased about that, as a mug printer is not that easy to find(at the right price). We are also on the lookout for a t-shirt printer...preferably one that can digitally print with transfer paper, and the artwork will not wash out on first wash. Our first printer who we had make samples, his prints were washing out in the wash machine at a tempreture of 40. This wasn't satisfactory. I later talked for about an hour on the phone to a guy in Belfast and he reckons that the printer did not dry the t-shirts properly. Needless to say,the printer did not admit to that when asked ( We wanted to come to an arangement...not to place blame etc, but to come to a solution..it didn't work). So we need a printer who can do all this for us, and the print not wash out at 40. It has saddened me a little,as it is very hard to find the right printer. If anyone knows of a printer who can possibly accomadate us, please let me know here. (doesn't matter which country) I would be very much obliged.

     

    I am quite happy at present. A full eight months have passed from my deep sorrows over a woman. I won't go into it as i have given her enough time in my mind, but those hurts have lessened now. I keep focusing on happier future days that will someday come. It is good to work with Chanel on new decks for the tarot community as it takes my mind off my losses from months ago. I find it is the best cure for a sorrowed mind, to set yourself a goal( if no one else will set it for you by way of project) and work towards it...create something that will benefit you in times to come, despite what your healing mind would want to think about.

     

    Peace to you all

    James

    Aw thanks James! As usual, I think I am late to the party - I didn't realize this site has been around for so long!

    Hi James

    "I like that you've created a new drawing board! "

    Yes I would like to get one of those animation drawing boards, but I will have to go to Germany to buy one, so I decide on a cheaper solution:

    Thanks for the lovely comment :)
    If you liked Etsy then look at FOLKSY and MISI which are similar UK sites.
    You could have some of your art on there!!

    Thanks for the comments Jimmy. I am still suspicious about that door and what kind of irish fairies dwell there. For sure there was a party, i agree. :D
    Hope all is well up there (i live downstairs in Cork).

    you're welcome jimmy :)
    well the summer here hasn't been better :( we have rain almost every other day and our veggies that we planted come out all dry and look sick :( i found a red tomato today it was yummy but most of them once they bloom they become rotten underneath or stay green :(
    I'm really disappointed but what can we do? we cant fight with nature, but i don't remember experiencing a wet rainy summer like this one before.

    Good for you for taking the opportunity and going swimming..it has been a couple of years for me too...i was just saying the other day i would like to go for one day before summer is gone..it went by pretty quick.

    Your nephew sound adorable is he the youngest one or the little red hair one you shared a pic with my once?

    I send most of my summer...reading if you can believe it, i got into the twilight books..lol..and couldn't let them down and also kept myself busy with my art..I'm worrying about some things mostly family stuff but I'm hopeful everything will turn out ok.

    I forgot to ask you or maybe you replied already and i forgot sorry about that i keep forgetting a lot lately..dont think my memory is that good...but did you get the chance to watch the LOST season finale??
    i cant wait for 2010 and the last season. :)

    There is this new show set to debut this coming fall called Flashforward and it's from the same creators of LOST it looks really bizzare and interesting, i think i may get hooked on it..lol..it's about the world stopping for a few seconds and people get flashes in their future and a lot of them are not that nice and for others it is...and i guess some cant wait for their future to happen and others dont want it.

    I wouldn't want to know either..lol

    have a god weekend ahead
    it was good to catch up with you :)
