• 15:34 I still might manage somehow to go see "Avatar" -- Na'vi is one reason why: languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1977
• 15:45 I'm very happy with the quality of the minipins and travel mugs from #CafePress: bit.ly/5ZdTWY
  and bit.ly/5nLYSk

• 08:02 One thing I like about @cafepress is that I can manage prices store-wide by product type. (Can't do this in my other outlets - yet?)
• 08:06 On thing I like about @zazzle is that they retweet their members' sales tweets.
• 08:07 One thing I like about @deviantArt is the artist's prices. And they don't put their logo on the backsides of cards ASFAIK.
• 08:10 New: "Unexpected" (aka "Dragon Tail") metasilk.deviantart.com/art/Unexpected-145668786
  Thanks, KH, for encouraging framed prints!
• 12:10 Bit frittery; researching referral-to-Art (eh) and building FB Pages. Kid is online (SciAm Frontiers then PBS Kids Island). Baby sleeping.
• 14:09 > Get coffee.
  IT'S IN MUG.
  > Go outside with kid and bike.
  DON'T FORGET BABY IN BJORN.
  
  Right.

• 22:22 Another Dragon Reader Journal sold! That sells best, but there are more blank books from Whimsical Dreams

I must have picked (guessed) the right tags for this one; it comes up in the CafePress marketplace searches, I think. Or perhaps it's because there's an affiliate store that lists it.

Ooof!

I haven't been here in TWO months. It's time and mutli-tasking and Many Things. You are not forgotten, and I might even have more art, but I'm just trying to catch up on pre-existing stuff. I don't know *what* happened to my time, really.

Back when I can...

//this entry has been edited a bit//

I still am uncomfortable uploading images to EF's "photo" galleries because of this text on the upload page:

By clicking "Start Upload" I affirm that the photo(s) I am uploading do
not contain nudity, sexually explicit content, violent or offensive
material, and are not copyrighted.

I don't mind at all granting EF a license to show my stuff to folks, but there is still a copyright, owned by me. I do understand that's not the intent of the phrasing (see also well-appreciated comments to this entry), but I suspect a lawyer could make some serious hay defending a image-thieving client with this phrase as it is.

However, I do have (finally) a new sketch -- only that, but it's SOMETHING -- and I'll post that shortly.  Because deviantArt allows the bandwidth transfer of remote linking/blog access. Which is helpful!

Check out http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/ -- comprehensive. Amazing resource. Not so much "Faerie" as we're engaging with it on this site as Folk (including but by no means limited to "Wee Folk") roots of Fairy Tales. Go spend a a moment, an hour, a day, reading.
