Something new for us. Light, playful, silly happy goodness.

Likey?

So we suck at self promotion. Admitted. We're only four months late sharing this news. Whatever.

Lovers of Wonderland, collage art and all things fanciful, grab the latest copy of Digital Studios, cuz not only are our Go Ask Alice pieces featured in the Spotlight section, but there's a full on tutorial inside by yours truly. (trulies?) 

We love working with the folks at DS, and simply can't get enough of their publication. Some other really fine material inside with art you just wanna lick. Or is that just me? Am I the only one that wants to scratch and sniff and consume gorgeous illustrations? Keep me out of the Guggenheim. 

Anyway, here's the scrumptious cover:

Our tutorial (which is not one, not two but FIVE pages long!)

And last but way not least, Alice and her Wonder posse!

Procrastinationally Yours,

 Us

We have a whole YEARS worth of new art. Oh yes we do. Why hasn't it made an appearance before now? Because some of us are busy watching hummingbirds and counting clouds, that's why.

Ahem.

A few delights for you. All of these are from our new line of cards. Like 'em? They'll soon be in our new etsy shop (which we have yet to load up with treasures). Not promising when. But we love etsy and wanna play.

We arrived back in Taos, and our beloved studio, just last week. You should have seen us trying to steer the Uhaul trailer in and out of the snow (and ice) packed driveway. But we managed, without having to phone AAA (which cannot be said for the long trip from Atlanta to Taos when our gas gauge quit working and we ran out of gas. Oi!)

Then it's boxes and bubble wrap and the undoing of all we'd done to get here. 

But in between all the chaos of resettling, we're spending time at the studio table, collaging, drawing, arting.

I give you "Love Is", our newest piece. This is our first creation since arriving home, because in all the turmoil of the past three months, it is Love that has seen us through, steering us safely back home.

The Winter issue of DIGITAL STUDIO will soon be leaving the stands. Replaced by the spring edition (which, I am happy to report, we're in as well!)

But this feature on Duirwaigh Studios has lots of bells and whistles, including several full-page prints. Buy, kiss, and fondle yours before they're gone!

While some of you are aware that we've been in Georgia since mid-December, addressing a Series of Colossal Blessings disguised as Series of Unfortunate Events, what many of you don't know is that we spent the fall creating new art.

Typically July - November is the busiest time of year for us, as most of our publishing partners are asking for art they can launch the following year. This year was no different, except that when Thanksgiving finally rolled around, instead of resting after the race, I got the flu, traveled to Europe unexpectedly, then wound up spending two months away from my beloved home and studio in Taos, buried in despair-repairs.

And it occurred to me, just a few days ago, that one of our newest art pieces --one of those pretty, poetic paintings we made last fall --could be my best friend (and teacher) right about now, if only I would listen.

So I'm gong to share it with you.

Mired in details? Overwhelmed with underwhelment? Wondering where 2010 has gone when you haven't even formulated a plan yet? Distraught because your beautifully-conceived plan has gone haywirishly off-track?

Just remember the cranes. And point your life in the direction of freedom.
