Hi everybody

Rocking The Free Spirits 123.jpg

The Easelspace team just wanted to remind you that it is already time to be prepared to scare and to get scared:

Halloween will come around very quickly, even if it seems so far away!. In our FAA gallery, we have a special Halloween Greeting Cards gallery, and it would be great if you could come up with some Halloween artworks/designs .

They could feature pumpkins, skeletons, witches, dead heads, bones, vampires, etc.,whatever scares the hell out of us! It must not be „great art“ in the usual sense, you know, just stuff which really evokes Halloween and which we can imagine some people would love to send as Greeting Cards.

 For those who joined Easelspace more recently, or don’t remember, here is the info about easelspace FAA gallery

The Halloween Greeting Cards gallery in FAA is here:

If you want to participate, please upload your work for submission to the Easelspace Greeting cards group.

Is it Sunday today? Well, my computer says it is!
Is it so different from any other day?

Since I have been living as an artist, Sundays have ceased to mean anything different to me, apart from the fact that our food supply shop is closed. 
And since I joined the Easelspace Team, about 2 months ago, well, the food supply problem has taken care of itself, as I hardly have any time left to eat!

But honestly: I love my life as an artist, and I love to work for Easelspace.  Always trying to better the place, to find new ideas to keep it attractive for the artists and the visitors (and for us too of course!), to solve the occuring problems, to help our members to reach their goals, this all keeps our brains wonderfully active for about 48 hours out of 24!

Now we enjoy following you, through your paintings and other activities here. We thought you might be interested in following us too. This is why we have decided to regularly let you know, by virtue of this blog, how things stand, what we do, what we feel, what we want,  what we don't want, what we hope, simple human stuff like that.

It would be great to hear your feedback sometimes, we are all human and we all need to know how we stand in this world! :-)

That's all for now, have a lovely (Sun)day!

Easel-ly yours

Miki
