I made this portrait in January, but I waited for her permission to post it :) So, here it is, an antique custom portrait, made from several references and imagination. She was so thrilled to see the final drawing. She also confessed me that now the portrait is in her room on the wall, and each time she came from work and see it she start to smile and feel happier. That means that I am happy too ;)

New commission done! This young couple is going to get married, so they wanted to have a special wedding invitation. They are going to use this portrait on the invitations. For sure it will be something special and distinguishable :)

New portraits are coming soon ;)

What’s new?

Long time no post. But here is my excuse: I have started a new online project, which I am going to tell you more about, and I got married. Am I forgiven? :D

The new exciting project that I’m working on is Swap Art. It’s going to be an online community of artists where you can swap and collect art. We are launching soon. So go ahead and enter your e-mail to join our invite list.

Meanwhile you can read the Swap Art blog , where we will write articles about art, about how you can take advantage of online media and how you can use it to advance your artistic career.
You can also find Swap Art on Facebook and Twitter.

We have already started to do a swap art on Paint My Photo, which is available only for members, who are really excited about the idea. We will not use the Swap Art website this time, it’s just as an exercise to make people familiar with the swapsies.

This doesn’t mean thought that I quit drawing. I’m doing a new commission for a young couple who is getting married and want to use the portrait on their wedding invitations. Can’t wait to see how they will look like :)

I would also like to inform you about my new Facebook page. Why a new one? Because I have accidentally deleted the old one :( and it seams like I can’t recover it.

Thank you for your time!
Regards,
Jullia
