Wow! 2009 is here! And it is off to a glorious start for me! I have participated in my first interview!!! By Christa of 2D Valley.com. I am so excited and flattered! I am also working on getting items ready to post on my Etsy shop. The plan is to have the “grand opening” at the beginning of February. So all in all, I feel like I am walking on air right now, and if this is any indication of the way this year is going to be, please don’t pinch me, I don’t want to wake up!
Here’s to a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year for us all!

Latest artwork

dlindseyart — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 03:47:00 +0000

So here is my Latest artwork done mainly in Painter and Photoshop. I am trying to become more proficient in the “painting” programs. I appreciate the tips I received from the nice people from the wip forums of GFX and Epilogue. I used ps brushes designed by Falln-Stock of Deviant Art for her wings, but the rest is by me.

Clearwater Celebrates Jazz…

dlindseyart — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:27:00 +0000

One of my works has been selected for reproduction in banner-form for Clearwater Celebrates Jazz, a temporary exhibition of artist-designed banners in the Cleveland Street District of downtown Clearwater, Florida. It was selected as one of ten that will be reproduced as banners for the exhibition. The banners will be on display in the Cleveland Street District in conjunction with the annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday and inaugural Jazz ‘N Art Walk October 18th and 19th from 10AM – 5PM. If you happen to be in the area, be sure to go, promises to be a great time as usual! Needless to say, I’m thrilled!

Plagiarism Abounds and Astounds!

dlindseyart — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:38:00 +0000

If you see this book! Don’t buy it! Instead please go the this link and follow the instructions there. Plagiarism abounds, this we all are pretty well aware of. But once in a while you come across an example that literally takes your breath away. Darren Di Lieto, founder of The Little Chimp Society, a well known art blog has been a recent victim.
He has spent the last 3 years building up the site to it’s current status as a great artist/illustrators advocate and resource. In a fraction of that time a publisher in Hong Kong called Great Creativity organization has plagiarized practically all of that hard work (not to mention the actual work of the artists and writers contributing to the blog), and published a book which is available online and in bookstores at the price of 42 euros!

He goes into more detail on his personal blog here, please do visit and be amazed at the audacity of this company. I know I was. And please, let’s do what we can to help by spreading the word.

Orphan Works Bill: Fact or Fiction?

dlindseyart — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:31:00 +0000

If you are an artist, can you afford not to find out? Isn’t it worth the time to read, listen and learn what you can concerning it? Following are a couple of links to get you started that offer information and there are others flying all over the net at this point, since it is currently a fairly hot topic.
Link 1 and here is another link to an mp3 formatted interview with Brad Holland of the Illustrators Partnership conducted by Mark Simon.

There are already plenty of people out there saying it is all being blown out of proportion, that it really isn’t about being able to get “free” art. If it were a perfect world where artworks (with perfectly legible copyright information) weren’t already being ripped and the ownership info being photoshopped out, then I might tend to agree. But when was the last time the world was perfect? For my own part, I see it as a very real threat to the security of our copyrights especially the way it is currently being presented.

The sad truth is….money talks and BS walks. Always has and always will. Common sense alone should tell you that when it comes to human nature, people don’t as a habit go out of their way to do anything unless there is something in it for them. So as long as there are well funded powers that be out there that want this bill to pass (and if it means making more money for them by getting more of something for nothing, they will want it to pass) don’t think they won’t keep trying. It always boils down to money, and if you can’t see how determined they are by this second run at it, then sheep you truly are. They are counting on our apathy, and ignorance. Let’s not make the mistake of making it easy for them.

The Big Plan….

dlindseyart — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:26:00 +0000

I have finally started my blog! My big plan for it is that there really is no big plan. I’m learning about all things concerning the internet as I go, and will use this blog to express my thoughts about what I do, and what I think might interest or help someone else out there. About how the internet is in a constant flux, and how it is changing the way people work, advertise, promote. And I hope to hear from others concerning their thoughts as well.
