I can't for the life of me remember to log in to twitter and Facebook and get my updates out there. I might do it once or twice a day, but I feel that it's not really enough with so much going on. I found one site that was scheduling tweets to be posted at a later date, and that worked really well for me. I still needed something for Facebook though. This is when I found out that Stumble has a tool just for me, it's su.pr and it's a life saver. It shortens URL as well as lets you schedule your tweets and Facebook updates at the same time. It limits the number of characters to 140 however since that's the limit on tweeter. Not only does it schedule as many tweets as you would like at the times you would like, it also lets you see how many people clicked on it within the first 15 minutes. This lets me figure out once are most popular and how to write better quality tweets. I highly recommend it, it's great.
For your viewing pleasure I posted one of my small paintings from Ancestor Spirit collection. I'll be giving it away some time soon. Will post here once it's up for grabs. Have I ever mentioned how much fun those giveaways are? That's what I've been tweeting about all evening, what giveaways I found and how much I love them btw.

Jessica M. Lopez and the Fairytale World
After looking at countless illustrations for children's books you get to expect certain characteristics, overall look and feel to the painting. Jessica Lopez managed to have her own very different style mixed into it. The overall dreamy feel of a fairytale illustration is there, it seems as if your usual illustration, and yet it is so different. The wolf for example on the painting shown here doesn't look like the one you would usually see, the trees aren't your usual trees either, turning and twisting like ropes, so unique, so different and yet so fairytale like. I feel like if a fairytale land existed, there would be a place like this. Although the painting is clearly a product of artists imagination, the quality of work makes it feel almost real.
Jessica M. Lopez uses watercolor with ink, which is a great combination, the two complement each other well. Another medium she uses is acrylic paint. For those unfamiliar with the medium, it can be a pain if you don't know how to use it. I've seen artists with beautiful oil paintings do a nightmarish job with acrylic paint. Jessica doesn't have a problem of this sort. She has even change in color throughout her acrylic paintings which is exactly the part that many artists can nail.
This wonderful dreamy shop has a 100% customer satisfaction, so you are in good hands with her. Policies are clean cut and very reasonable. Seller is opened to custom orders, so don't hesitate to ask. All in all a great shop to buy some prints for the kids room as well as the rest of the house.
