OK, if your name is Noachin, would you please resubmit your essay to me? I was deleting my spam folder messages in one lump and right as I noticed that one of them was titled actually "Submission to your mini-contest" not "Submission to your mistress," Gmail helpfully deleted it permanantly.As far as artwork, I can't show you my work from today as the portrait is to be a gift and I can't risk the client's wife catching sight of it, but there are a few brand new art prints available in the store if you want to check it out. Including the Stinky Violet at left and Peanut at right.
That reminds me. I have two really nice printers that I use for my work and it took me awhile to get the hang of the whole print business. If any artists out there want me to wax poetic on this topic (which non-artists will undoubtably find about as riveting as an episode of Tyra's talk show), comment or e-mail.

Yes please. I would love to hear all about the print business side of art. I'm trying to start printing my own artwork and am very much interested in any tips or tricks.
Maggie, I love these paintings of your cat and dog, they're so adorable! I have one large (fat) cat and one small dog (they're about the same size) and I love them both but sometimes they drive me nuts, especially when I'm up late at night trying to paint! The dog wants to lay right at my feet and I'm tripping over him and the cat is wanting inside/outside every 10 minutes LOL! Arrgh!
Your paintings are so wonderful and I enjoy reading the posts in your blog!
Wax and buff!
Pleeeeease wax poetic about the print business! I'm getting ready to buy a printer and would very much appreciate reading your comments. I also want you to know that I really enjoy your humorous writing and lovely art - they always brighten my day! Thanks!
I'd love to hear about making prints! I need a new printer anyway, and have been wondering about do-it-yourself prints.
Wax away please! Printer recommendations, color matching, selling tips, anything and everything dealing with prints welcome.
Yes, yes! Please wax poetically on the virtues and vices of printing. I can't stand the suspense.
Ohhh awwwww! Wonderful animal portraits! Awwwwww!
*hugs*
I use an Epson printer with Durabrite ink; that along with Ilford Gallerie fine art paper have produced some quality prints for my illustrations. I have not been able to find an A3 printer that could deal with illustrations on matt textured paper...
A local printing plant has all the equipment to make archival limited edition prints, but no way to reproduce the actual art. I'm having a tough time finding a scanner big enough for my paintings, even though they're only about 18"x20". Any such services are in Toronto, a bit of a hike away. How do you handle the scanning part?
