In order to help raise money, I am offering prints of my latest deviation, "I Earned My Wings":

[link]

Prints will be 8.5x11 OR 8x10 if you'd rather, and are $15 each INCLUDING SHIPPING. I will be eating the shipping costs myself.

If you are interested in ordering a print or would like to make a donation (I am collecting them to put together in a lump sum or you can use the donate button on their website at www.fortcollinscatrescue.org), please let me know!

I will also be offering commissions (price list below), and 10% of all cat portraits will go back to the Fort Collins Cat Rescue, benefiting both the shelter itself and the spay/neuter clinic that serves both the dog and cat communities.

Thank you!!!

I've resolved to finishing up the commissions I currently have committed to, and then take a break and just do some pieces for myself. This has definitely been a learning experience, and I've certainly seen an improvement in my work over the past few months! My drawing of cats and dogs had been minimal up until this point. I knew I could handle it, and I think it's gone rather well!

I'm almost finished with my commissions due before Christmas, and then I have the rework to do, as well as one more following, and then it's MENTAL BREAK TIME. Hopefully...unless I have another money crisis. haha

]]> ~jumpermegs Upset... http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/22002761/ http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/22002761/ Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:44:38 PST
Today, I had one client message me that she absolutely loved her commission, and another...

...asked me to completely redo hers.

This is a conundrum because this is the third time I've redone this one. First, because his head was messed up, which I knew and fixed it, second because the post office got it wet and mailed it back to me, so I had to COMPLETELY redo it in the course of a night, and now it just wasn't what she thought it was based on the WIPs I sent her. The biggest problem is I consider her a friend...but I guess I'm a bit upset.

Now I offered to redo it in the note I sent along with it in case something happened, but I can't say I ever expected it to come back to me. Not sure what to think, do, or say.

Can't say I've ever had this happen before, but can't really vent about it in my other journal.

I'm going to redo it. I hope we can come up with a different pose and perspective, and I'll do it. I want this to work out, and I love all the positives I've received. This kind of thing makes me wonder, though, if the niceties were false and this is truly what people think.

I'm just not good enough yet.

I'm in the process of working on several commissions before Christmas. So there should be about 6 that will be posted within the next two weeks. Should be pretty intense, but exciting!

This week I have three headshots that I'm working on, two canine and one equine--well equus asninus, techically. Here's my WIP list for the next couple weeks.

- Fez (Mixed breed)

- Cleo (donkey)

- Adonis (Great Dane)

- ?? (cat)

Commissions are ALWAYS open, so please hop over to my website to check that out...

HOWEVER...I'm also considering doing art trades and/or requests.

If there's something in particular you'd like to see me try my hand at, or if you'd like to do a trade with me (this will be very simple, fyi), please let me know!

Thanks everyone!

]]> ~jumpermegs I'm horrible about updating... http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/16495227/ http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/16495227/ Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:52:45 PST
I'm hoping sometime tomorrow I'll have time to at least photograph one of my recent pieces.

We'll see!

]]> ~jumpermegs Long time no draw... http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/14841749/ http://jumpermegs.deviantart.com/journal/14841749/ Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:22:14 PDT just started uploading stuff to my gallery. I guess the best explanation for that is I haven't drawn seriously in YEARS. Probably since the beginning of high school, and now I'm more than halfway done with college. Crazy how time flies by!

All the artwork in my gallery are pieces done within the last 3 months. I'm not a big "sketch" person. If I'm going to draw, I'm going to spend hours doing so and do it right. Most of my artwork takes me 10+ hours, with some less and some more.

As an artist, it's my goal to do something different than the other artists, especially within my own genre. You will find I like crazy angles; I'm not normally a traditionalist in that sense.

Yes, however, some of my artwork is traditional. I take portrait commissions via my art business, The Galloping Lane. You can find more about that on my website. [link]

Hopefully in the next few months I'll have more than just graphite pieces up here. While I'm probably best at the pencil, I also do work with coloured pencils, watercolor, and my newest love, digital painting. So look forward to those!

Feel free to watch me, and please comment! I love the supportive atmosphere of Deviantart, and I expect to be around here for a long time!
