Iniciative Colectiva.

I was very excited to find this email in my inbox this morning!

REQUEST FOR SUBMISSION

Hello Sarah!

My name is Nicole and I am the Creative Director for Iniciativa Colectiva, an online magazine for artists, by artists.

Iniciativa Colectiva started just last year and we are a growing publication. We want to showcase the best of the best within all fields of design and photography.

We are working toward organizing an exhibition at Miami's Design District with the year's best pices submitted to the magazine and before doing anything we will ask the artists who are chosen to participate and if chosen, to send either a print of their work, if possible.
If not, we will print the piece at a low price but hope to get sponsors to cover the printings.

Also, we are researching to have the magazine published in a book form so we can have the magazine as a hardcopy for people to buy soon.

Again, the magazine is solely to showcase the artists work so all copyrights will remain with the artist. We hope this event will generate a buzz and a following as well as generate a buzz with the artists chosen.

Please check out the website as we are approaching the deadline for the May issue this April 20th.

Submissions are now open for all in the disciplines of digital art, illustration, fine arts, fashion, graphic design, photography and anything that may interest you .

Take a look at our previous issues to see the kind of work we are looking for.

Please spread the word and participate in our project!


Thank you and keep up the good work and on the lookout for great things to come.
Sincerely,

Nicole Andujar
Creative Director

The deadline is April 20th.
I already have 7 commissions I'm working on.
And last night I designed an entire new series I am eager to start.
But my GOODNESS am I excited to enter this funky little competition!
So my thinking cap is on.
Perhaps I will even start my new series and select a work from *that* to submit.
For I am ever inspired.
If it wouldn't spill the magic I would say more.
As it is, just know that I am pumped.

*runs off to work on stuff*

A New Signature!

I have a new signature.
I'm very impressed.
I've wanted a new signature for a long time but it's so hard to *change*.

Well!
It came to me.

So I am happy and I cannot wait to sign my next work!

Squee.

She's Stirring.

Everything is Alive.

I walked my father halfway to the shops. The walk back by myself was amazing. Every porch with an animal. Every yard with a critter. Every bird singing. Every cloud waving. Every tree shuddering.

Everything is alive.

The azaleas threaten to take over the house. Do it! I whisper, Do it!

The Noni plant is the only plant not in bloom. It's one blossom lives in New York. I wonder if I shouldn't cut the heads off and remake the scene.

Here.
My porch slowly being taken over by art. I must switch it, tidy, twirl it around. So I can swing again, on the swinging thing.



And the flowers that climb in my ears and crush out my brain.





But surely now my frisket must be dry.
I am painting the largest watercolour I've ever painted today.
It makes me grin all over.
It's everything I walked past today.
It's the tingle in my fingers.
And the grin on the inside of my left cheek.
It's what I want to eat.
And a thousand years of sleep.
It's over my head and under it.
And it's calling, I must go.

Two New Commissions.

*squeal*

I am VERY excited! My friend has a new house and she is decorating it in my art! Such an HONOUR that she wants to buy from me! She already has a few pieces but today she contacted me about more!

She liked the Kafka/Faulkner/Borges/Marquez series and would like two of her own. Jack Kerouac and Walt Whitman. So I am very excited to get started on them as soon as possible.

I shall be painting them (with any luck) on watercolour canvas and need to go to the store to see what they have.

I'm also knee-deep in the large Eve commission.

Looks like another *beautiful* month for art.
I bow down to the world and then some.

Birds chirping, flowers blooming, smiles giggling, the rank smell of the papermill wafting through my window....

No other place I'd rather be.
Happy creating out there, my lovelies!

xxxS.

You Did It Wrong.

It is there, written in text! You pinched and punched on March 31st. For shame!
Today *points up* it is clearly written 'April 1st'. And so, Happy Artist, it is *I* that pinches and punches you!

My roots are from the Pacific? Are you sure? I am quite sure I am not of this world. But it's a good alibi, so I use it.

Happy April, Mam.
