This, loves, is why I've been gone so long. I wrote a book and had it published by Great Potential Press:

Cheating, Dishonesty, & Manipulation: Why Bright Kids Do It by... me. :D

www.amazon.com/Cheating-Dishon…

Because, let's face it, everyone has gotten bored at some point during their school experience and thought "finding a clever way to get around this/do this differently/find the loophole would be more worth my time". I was one of those kids.

And now I've written the book on the subject. :heart:

Sorry my lovely watchers- I have been MIA. Like whoa.  On top of the book being published (I'll post a link to it very soon- it comes out in a few weeks!!!! :heart:), I went and done got me knocked up and had a gorgeous baby boy. :heart: He's now 3 months old and I'm only just getting to the point where I can sit and paint my face for any stretch of time.

But my hubby went and bought me a phenomenal camera and backdrop setup- so I'm so excited to start playing with it, and to get back into this wonderful hobby with this wonderful community of fellow artists.

So... any suggestions about what you'd like to see me do for my 'welcome back' look? ^_^

I am Alive!

Hi All,

My goal to post a deviation within the next month.  I'm gonna hold myself to that, too, barring catastrophic disaster and/or the coming of days. ...Unless it's a zombie sort of apocalypse. Then I can just click some shots of wandering undead and post them, claiming them to be miracle sfx work of mine. BOSS.

So I'm scheduled to have the final proofs for my book turned in by Nov 15th, which is good news for every other creative venture in my life that has been put on hold so that I can get this dream ready and in the can.  I can't share many details yet, sorry, but suffice it to say- I don't know how many folks here would actually be interested. :D It's a nonfiction book... that has nothing to do with any of my face painting work. Almost like a textbook. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, unless it wasn't painfully obvious already, I am a GIANT. NERDFACE. ...But I'm getting paid for it. BOSS of the BOSS.

I also bought a house and got married this year, so it's kind of been kind of a "whaaaaa?" kind of year.  So apologies all around for my absence, but life kept intervening. 

If anyone has any suggestions or requests for what my big reappearance should be, feel free to leave it in the comments.  I'm mulling over a few things. ;)

I MISS YOU.

Hi lovelies-

I MISS you.  :glomp: I wish I had more time on my hands these days, but I've been working on a nonfiction book (details to follow- don't wanna spoil it ;) that a publisher has already said YUS to. So this year, I'll have to squeeze in makeup projects when I can.  Sorry loves, I absolutely ADORE painting, and all my friends on DA- but writing and being an author has been my ultimate dream since... um... birth.  So I can't let this opportunity go by w/out giving it my full attention.

This aint the last of me, y'hear me? It's just that projects will be a little... slowed. Don't give up on me, though. :heart: It's all wonder and gratitude on the horizon.

A thank you to Lily: www.facebook.com/Tigerlilycute a wonderful, fellow artist- who not only responded quickly and angrily (at the thief, not at me!) to my letting her know that someone had impersonated me in the contest she'd held, but she said "I've not sent her prize yet... so I'll send it to you! Congrats for winning a contest you didn't even know you'd entered. I hope she asks me where it is, too, so I can chew her out!"  (Doubt it will happen- FB, also thankfully, deleted her account.)

:D :clap:  Yaaaay! I win. :giggle: Sorry kiddo thief, guess that didn't quite work out the way you'd planned, huh? But thanks for the free publicity! :blowkiss: Bless you, Lily, for the wonderful righteous indignation that artists are so good at when threatened with copycats & poseurs.

PS) I know I've been gone for a while- apologies!!! All my stuff is still in boxes from the move, and I've been slow to get my rear in gear. I shall return, and with some new pics thanks to my new camera, and for my overdue (as always) "inspired by" contest winner image.
