Hi my fellow Deviants!

I hope this finds all of you in good spirits especially considering the two awesome new contests from Warner Bros. via Dark Shadows and Dodge-Chrysler "Inspired by You" for their new Dart and the higher quality of opportunities that such as these bring. This blog is not about big business opportunities, though. It is about a topic dear to my heart and information that came to me though a friend on here :iconmelocardio:.

The information is about a government sponsored program for disables artists such as myself and many others like me. It is called the Very Special Artists program (VSA) and most states have a chapter. Do an internet search for that and you will find information for your state. It does bring education opportunities, employment, and chances for art sales, shows, and galleries to the disabled artist. It varies by state so check with your local chapters for information. There are several in my immediate vicinity that is accessible to me. It helps artists with limited mobility and travel issues as well by providing local venues for career opportunities. Check them out. The more in these programs the more chance they have of sticking around to help more people that need it.

In light of this very specific issue of the disabled artists my friend above has created a very special group for these artists of which I am now a member. It is a group for showcasing their work and helping them get it out there in an easy to use format. It is very new at the moment. I encourage all disabled artists to join and I also encourage all Deviants and otherwise to check into the works displayed there in the galleries. It is just a baby right now on deviantArt and deserves a chance and attention. I personally am grateful for it.

Be safe, happy, and always create!

By the way, YOU ROCK all of you! :headbang:

Peace.

I am selling my artwork because it is the only means I have to make any kind of living for myself. I am depending upon it. I love it, art is my life but I also have to depend on it now. I would greatly appreciate your purchasing a print of any kind if you enjoy my work.

If you've come to thank me for the favorite, you're welcome! I put them in my favorite gallery because they have spoken to me in some way and I like them.

I give llama badges because I like your work and you as an artist to thank you for giving me that beauty. :)



I love art which I guess is obvious. I love to write, draw, paint, make music. You name it if it is creative or has creative flare I'm there. Most of the time I am an onlooker but when I want to create I don't usually stop. I have picked up two new art-forms one being digital art and the other internet news article blackout poems which is a variant from Austin Kleon's Newspaper Blackout Art. I would do the actual newspapers but at the moment I have no choice but digital so I got a bit creative with it. You will find my original works with blackout art in my blog linked below. If you like them I will upload them here for prints.

I would rather fly with eagles, to the snow hills.
I would rather run with wolves, between the trees.
I would rather be with trees, than in the middle of noisy streets!

I believe in Andrew Hussie as my lord and Savior. If you do too and aren't afraid to admit it, copy and paste this into your signature.
