Spanish Calendar 2011

i was absolutely in awe when i opened the box...

this calendar is my first licensed product, folks! it was released by Editorial Sirio, a Spanish publisher. a lot of people have asked me if i am selling them. unfortunately no; you have to go to their website to purchase one if you like. it is all in Spanish. i got very impressed with the quality and beauty of the product. really great stuff.

in a rush

things are pretty crazy around here, folks... i'm rushing to complete the Materia series until next Saturday and feel like a painting machine. not fun, but it is my fault. i could have planned something more simple, but, as a good Scorpio (Moon), i am always taking the complicated way. oh, well. now it's too late to start whining. sorry for not responding the last comments, they are all read and very appreciated! eternal thanks for your encouragement.

2 beautiful features this week:

- the more than awesome Natures Whispers blog, by Jasmine Hazlehurst, on the fantastic Festival of the Trees. she featured one of the wips of my Tree of Life, (never finished because i am a perfectionist bitch, but time is coming.) visit and delight in the fantastic selection of pictures and words Jasmine selected for the post. 

- works + online exhibit featured on The Pink Panther Magazine, publication of the Pink Panther group on RedBubble, dedicated to promote feminism and the work of women artists.

I also have now a permanent gallery at RedBubble, and I am proud. :)

Busy busy + feature feature

A long absence, I know. I've been busy with commissions + workshop, and already planning the next ones! Very refreshing being back to my teaching activities after so long. I must say that I am very very happy and feel very gratified and energized. Thank you to wonderful group for the great energy and insights! I'll be soon posting the mandalas the group has been preparing on my workshops page.

My piece The Divine in Me was featured in the new edition of the Presence journal. Thank you to the publishers, I'm very proud to be part of such an inspiring magazine.

Hecate in the Pentacle Magazine

My Hecate in this Fall Edition of the UK Pentacle Magazine.

surprise of the day

Inside Solo is an online magazine for members of the Solo Exhibition group on RedBubble. It's extremely well done and well written. I am in awe to find out I've gained a feature in this week edition, with (totally breathtaking) reviews of 3 of my works. gonna post them soon! now let me drool on them a little bit more.

a break from the Tree + good news

sometimes working in a large, detailed piece like the Tree of Life becomes a little overwhelming. your eyes get sort of tired from continuously looking at the same stuff and end up needing a little refreshment.

The Puppeteer, work in progress. mixed media on illustration board.

I was invited to collaborate with 3 illustrations for Liquid Dreams, a project by California poet Ricardo Blancas. along with Blanca's beautiful poems, the book will bring color illustrations from different artists, ranging from pencil to oils works. all the earnings from the book sales go to charity. I'm pretty proud to be part of this project and sure that the final result will be a pearl of beauty. have seen the other artist's illustrations and got in awe by their talent and sensitivity.

also proud to let you know that 14 of my works will be published in a 2011 calendar by a Spanish publisher. this is specially important to me since it will be my first time in a publication featuring exclusively my artwork. and in Spain, land of my ancestors - although born in Brazil, I am of Spanish heritage. some of my relatives of old may have done something from the other plane.

"The Chemistry" in Australia

last weekend the mailman left me something from Australia...

The Small Tapestry is a newsletter issued by the Pagan Awareness Network to all their members. it's very well done and informative. the Autumn edition is bringing my piece "The Chemistry" on its cover. thank you Veronica and PAN folks, I loved it!
