Jeannie's News & Notes:



This weekend has basically stunk, folks. I've been and downing and my hand still hurts. But I believe I will survive!



(1) Daily Deviations. This week, I was lucky enough to get DDs for two exceptionally exquisite images:

There were 2 additional DDs this week that I had suggested, but didn't get 'credit' for. Eh, who cares, right? They're still DDs!

CONGRATS TO STEFANO ON HIS VERY FIRST DD!!!


And last but not least, this lovely deviation that I had suggested for DD was featured in ^kkart's journal recently:






(2) How To Suggest A Daily Deviations. As I was finally finishing up my little How-To, I discovered this:







“Suggesting A DD For Dummies” covers everything you need to know. So why replicate and clutter dA even more? Check that out and if you have questions, feel free to ask a Gallery Mod or- If you feel I can help you out, I’m always willing. Just ask!



(3) New Semi-Weekly Feature. I decided to put together a new feature for art that I have suggested for DDs, but has not yet been selected for this honor. "A Hint of a Lingering Suggestion" will be semi-weekly, authored as time allows. For a glance at the first two editions, visit:

(4) “Let’s Play With Ketchup” continues to be a blast to author every week, and it seems to be a big hit with everyone who stops in to check it out! This excites me. Sixteen weeks and counting, folks!

(5) HOLY CRAPPOLA, CATWOMAN! Within 21 hours of posting “Follow You Into the Dark” it had over 120 s. This has never happened to me before and it definitely made a gloomy Sunday afternoon so much less blah. THANK YOU to everyone who viewed, even if you didn’t favorite. I am still as high as a kite about this!


(6) Art Nude Features. I recently discovered that the lovely ^wynnesome authored a collection of DD suggestions from the Art Nude category that includes three images that I have suggested for DDs. Can you guess which three?

(7) Back To The Future. I always find it tacky when artists author a huge feature of other people's works and then stick in 30 of their newest deviations. Clearly if you're reading this, you probably have some kind of idea of what my latest works look like, right? Of course, I do still love to promote my own work , so let's compromise. Each week in this journal, I'm going to toss out ONE piece of my art that's over one year old. This way, we can all look back in time and laugh at how horrible my technique was; smile at a piece that is still a gem; or simply reminisce about a past model that we all adored. So let's roll!


Week 3 - Behaving Like Animals






This image was shot at the Bronx Zoo over 2 years ago. The little girl in the photo was yelling at the llama and goat, as she had just been informed that llama's spit. "That's not nice!" she yelled. I'll always love this shot for its spontaneity, even if it's not the best thing I've ever done, technically speaking.








And before I wave goodbye, I just wanted to thank all of my newest watchers for adding me this week! It means a lot to have new faces, and of course- I always love the ‘old’ faces, as well. So….love to you all!



Hugs & Kisses,

Jeannie
