There are various sets to choose from ranging from $6.00 - $10.00, and they're perfect for framing too. Also in the shop this week are some original ink illustrations from the new Patterned Raindrops series. The larger piece has already sold, but two lovely little ACEOs are still available. A great, affordable way of owning some original art if you don't have the funds to buy a canvas painting at the moment!

Secondly, I just wanted to let you know that I found the time to list a few new 'Birds & Landscapes' postcard, sticker & minicard packs in the Etsy shop again after the last two batches sold out! These ones are slightly different to the previous packs as they contain bird stickers instead of trees and a beautiful postcard reproduction of the painting 'Intermission 2' ( [link] ) - the first time I've made this piece available as a postcard.

See you soon!

(My personal favourite due to subtle ranting qualities).

And some good news! My Morrissey painting from 2006 is currently being featured on journalist Brendan Montague's (The Sunday Times, The Observer etc.) blog to illustrate an exclusive story about the Mozmeister. You can find it here: [link]

Pieces can be reserved for short periods and there is an option to pay in installments for larger pieces, if you wish to do so. Just talk to me if you'd like to do this.

And one more little piece of news: I've finally started making linoprints! I'm having such fun with this and so far it seems to be suiting my style of work quite well. There are now a couple up for sale in the shop, which are part of a limited edition of 25. I love the fact that I can produce several pieces from one design, but that due to the handcrafted process of linoprinting from start to finish, each piece is different and has it's own character. You can rest assured that no two are the same! Anyway, I hope you'll like them.

Just to let you know that I've set up a fan page for my art on Facebook. I've never really liked FB very much (and I still find the entire set-up a little confusing, to say the least), but I read something about FB fan pages on Etsy the other day which made me think this might be a good idea to try.

I am actually enjoying setting up the page, and it's relatively easy for me to upload new work, studio shots, works-in-progress, as well as links to my blog, website, and Etsy shop whenever I have new work available. It's only been up and running for two days and at present I have 31 fans of my work - some people I know and some I don't! If you're on FB and would like to become a fan, you're more than welcome. I will occasionally be running special promos on my work especially for the FB fans, and you'll have the chance to receive invitations to future shows, take part in competitions, and see new work as it arrives in my Etsy shop.

Look forward to seeing you there.

I just wanted to say how thrilled and astonished I was when I logged in yesterday to see that this little guy had been awarded a DD! [link]

His name is Franz and he's an original ink illustration I made just the other week. I can't tell you how chuffed I felt when I saw the DD or how much I have totally enjoyed reading your comments. Your kind (and insightful) words have really made my week. Somebody who left a comment underneath Franz yesterday has given me a wonderful idea for two paintings (and at least one illustration, if not more!) for my upcoming show later this month. I'll let you know who it is in due course, as I want to thank this person very much for inspiring me.

Due to the enormous amount of comments, watches, and faves I received yesterday, there is no way I could thank everyone individually - it just wouldn't be possible, unless I had a year free to do it! - so I hope you will accept this THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I promise to read every comment, and will reply to a few here and there, when I can.

I am overwhelmed and very grateful.

Natasha xx

P.S. I was also featured on the Etsy front page last night - you can see that here: [link]

** Update ** Enchanted Tree has sold and is no longer available (it will be on it's way to Italy!), but there are still lots of lovely pieces for you to choose from!

I've been a bit quiet on dA as I've been working hard on my upcoming show, but I'll be back soon with lots of new work to show you. Yay!

Hope all is well with everyone here. I'm looking forward to catching up on all the new deviations and so on. See you soon!

I can't believe mine was one of the chosen few!!

I couldn't BUY this kind of publicity - 40 new people have 'favourited' my shop already, and the newsletter was only released less than an hour ago! I am so lucky. Thousands of people will get to see that article - yay!

Go here to see, and scroll down to find my featured artwork:

I can't tell you how pleased I am to have come back to dA and for everyone to be so warm, welcoming, and friendly! It really has given me such pleasure to read your comments (I'm replying to as many as I possibly can...it sometimes takes me a little while) and I am astonished by the popularity of the new pieces I've submitted on here in the past couple of days - I almost fell over backwards when I saw the amount of favourites they've been given! And I know that a couple of you have been so kind as to feature me, which I am always deeply touched by.

Well, on to my exciting news! As well as working on a large show called The Silent Landscape with the artist Deborah Burrow at a lovely gallery in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, this coming May, I have also been offered my first SOLO SHOW!!

I am over the moon at this news - it's at a wonderful gallery who I already exhibit with, Serena Hall Gallery in Southwold, and it looks as if the show will be in the early Autumn, either September or October. We still have to confirm the dates, but I'll let you know in due course. The gallery offered me this opportunity as they said my work has been selling well and they have 'quite a few regular customers who now collect my work'.

As you can imagine, the thought of having two large shows this year in two great locations is incredibly exciting for me...and a huge amount of work! I'm probably going to have to produce around 25 pieces (paintings and illustrations) for the joint show in May, and then around 15 for my solo show in the Autumn.

Better get started!

Anyway, I hope everyone is well and that 2009 is going great for you so far.
I'm sure I'll be back with some new work to show you very soon...

Love & best wishes,
Natasha

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

I looked into deleting my dA account last night via the FAQ section...and I discovered that "our coding doesn't allow for dA pages to be deleted". (WTF?!)

It then told me that if I wanted to leave, what I could do was delete the contents of my gallery and journal. Ok, I thought, I'll do that. It sounded fairly easy, and a good compromise. But oh no, it's not easy - I was then informed by dA that you cannot just delete an entire gallery in one go; you have to delete each deviation separately. Ditto for the journal entries.

Let me tell you: IT TOOK FOREVER.

By the time I'd finished I was royally pissed off. There should be some way to delete a gallery or journal entries in one go. It doesn't need to be this difficult.

Anyway, I won't start ranting here - what I will do is tell you that I deleted everything apart from a handful of my favourite pieces from the gallery, so at least I still have some examples of my work on here. Should anyone stumble upon them and like what they see, they can then visit any of the sites listed above to see more work.

Thanks for your wonderful comments the other day when I announced I was leaving, and once again a huge thank you to all of you for your support since I joined dA in January 2007. It is deeply appreciated. I hope to see you all on the other side!
