Ok so I wanted to do something fun for you all for easter so here it is. I am going to be holding a Beasteregg hunt. Basically I am going to be hiding clues all over the net and the first person to find them all is going to win a prize!!! A pretty cool one too. There may be several prizes depending on who wants to play.

The hunt is going to start on Friday morning and ends when the last egg is found. Since i paint animals a Beasteregg is more run then a regular old egg. So I am thinking people should sign up for this. If anyone wants to hunt email me at [email protected] and put beateregg hunt. You have until Thursday 11:59 pm to register with me.

 Hi Everyone, This year is issuing a lot of changes. Due to product packaging changing, statuary inventory coming and prints being upgraded we have a lot of excess inventory which needs to be liquidated. Firstly all of my original paintings are Best offer. Anything on the site is up for negotiation. Email me at [email protected] to make an offer. Our space is VERY restricted so don't be shy! All retired Statuary is 50% off making them only 8.00 we have 2 Jay the vultures and 7 Dante the dragons left. Due to product repackaging and the one ounce size being discontinued ALL the Purrsnickketys Perfume oils are 50% off. We are upgrading our prints to professional photo luster paper. All inventory prior to January needs to be moved. They are nice prints on recycled card stock, bagged and signed for only 6.00 each! We will be adding more prints to the list in an hour or so. Hope you enjoy our clear out sale!

 Hi Everyone, Sorry for the double post today but I have some exciting news for you. I will have a feature in the brand new Fantasy Ezine!! The presubscription is SUPER low 10.00 for the year which is 4 issues. Not bad at all. http://www.fantasyezine.com/ It is a really nice publication and well worth the cost and there is an interview with me in the first issue :)

 Well I am about 50% with my second of 7 paintings which is pretty cool. All I can say about it is that it is a dragon piece. I will be working on it for part of the day. Johnnie and I went through SO many figurines last night. There are still MORE MORE MORE, then we order more and then there are even more. I am going to be signing my name in my sleep soon I think. Thank GOD I didn't keep my maiden name. Funny thing about that as soon as I ditched Speranzella I got a bunch of licensing, even from companies that said no not a month before... apparently Ash Evans is easier for everyone. I have some DIY vinyl figures coming to the house as I have been invited to be in a designer toy gallery show in NYC. Basically these little vinyl guys come blank and I just paint/alter them and they are going in a competition and a gallery show in New York. None have come to the house yet and I need to have them shipped in by March 31st so as soon as they get here I better get to work on them. for those in the know I will be altering a 7in Munny, a 4 in Dunny and a Bizarregoyle. If you have NO idea what I just said you can read an article here:http://actionfigures.about.com/od/designertoys/a/Designer_Toys.htm You can buy Munny's here: http://www.kidrobot.com/2008/munny/ Though I got some pretty rockin deals on EBAY and didn't pay full price for anything. It should be pretty cool I will be sharing pics when they are ready. Johnnie should be doing the Valentines day project so that it is ready by the weekend. We just want to finish these frackin figurines so we can order more and torture ourselves all over again. We are sick like that. I also wanted to say I will NOT be attending The Valtentines day show or the earlier one in March. There where some conflicts. My first show of the year still is Imagicon 2009 where I will be a special guest. I have 65 days to get ready and go to Alabama. We will be offering up the originals from my secret project and a lot of cool stuff in the Art Gallery as well as being there in full force in the dealer room. Oh I also want these perfume oils GONE so they are all buy one get one free. Also my retired statuary is 50% off while supplies last. Well guys that is all for today. Have an awesome one :)

 There is something about the start of a new year that makes the air feel like there is magic in it. Excitement crackles like electricity. Perhaps it is the newness, the possibilities or the fact that we get to start over. Everyone deserves a fresh start, to learn from mistakes and work toward their future. So tonight when this year expires and a new one is welcomed in with fanfare and kisses, I would like to wish you a fresh start and a the hope of a new beginning.  This new year I do have some goals I want to focus on. I am really looking forward to meeting tasks head on, improving my art and expanding my business into the best it can be. We have come a long way since we started with a little card table at a local show (we had 10 prints and a bucket of buttons) (remember Shane you where there) but we still have farther to go, more things to achieve and new levels to rise to.  I want to thank you all for your kind words, encouragement and appreciation over this year. My friends and fans keep me going when art is hard, sales are down and inspiration doesn't seem to be coming. Thank you all for your support and friendship. It all means the world to me. I have a feeling that 2009 is going to be a big one and I can't wait to get started. Remember if you are on my mailing list you are entered into a drawing for a FREE original painting we will be picking at midnight!
