Hi there!
Can you believe its December already?? Wow, what a year. Not sure if I'm glad its nearly over or I want a do over.. Its been a very busy time for me, and then there has been a ton of stress and heart break.. The thing that hit me the hardest this year was losing my beautiful cat, Livingstone, my oldest friend who has been faithfully by my side for amazing 18 years.. There has been some really good stuff happen too. Just seem to be so busy that I don't even have time to daydream anymore! But..that said, I'm pretty proud of myself for getting my art website launched (I have only been thinking about it for nearly two years.. but the good thing I guess about that, was I had time to really practice my craft so I can really showcase my art now. So, I think it happened when it was supposed to happen? Its a nice thought anyways...) and my Etsy store, AND an Instagram page, all the while juggling with a new job and various other life things which hasn't been easy.. wow that really does seem like a lot when I list it like that! okay I'm feeling slightly better about my achievements this year.. hmm.. wow.. okay. Anyways, how did 2017 fair for you? Any highlights you are bursting to share? CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!!

I have a longer post currently in progress, but I thought I'd just put this up in the meantime.. Just a quick look at my Gracie art over the last few years. Looking at it like this, I'm actually amazed at my improvement. It will be interesting to see it in another four years..wow that is a pretty exciting prospect!! 20142015 2016 2017

Please be sure to go check them out! I'm currently working on creating a mailing list, so please stay tuned for that! (honestly though its very exciting having a new website and stuffs, but working on multiple platforms to advertise and draw attention to your artwork seriously is exhausting... please hang in with me if I haven't done something correctly I really am trying, any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated =) Okay, As a special offer in my Etsy shop for the holidays add the Code: DARKHORSES10 at the checkout and you will receive 10% off your order!

Also if you think there is a piece of art in my dA gallery that you would like to see as cards, or prints please contact me! (sorry but I can't reproduce commissioned art, If you would like something specially done of your pet, please head over to my Etsy site and order a commission from me). That's all for now. Thanks for reading and please stay tuned for future posts! Siobhan x |
