Music and Art and a Featured Etsy Artist

Recently, Nicole Hanley of art2theextreme featured me in her blog. She has a variety of art and creations for all different needs, occasions, and tastes in her Etsy shop. I wish I could do block prints! I love her hand printed block print of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I have joined several sites in the past 6 months to promote my Art. You can see them in my side bar. Everyday, I am amazed at how connected the world has become since the birth of the internet. My days are spent balancing my time at my ESL job, creating my Art, keeping my sites up-dated, and chatting on the Etsy forums.

I listen to music when I am painting, drawing or doing anything Art. Today, I finally got around to putting my Gallery Juana playlist together on playlist.com.

I know exactly what you mean with the multiple websites to promote art, and how big a factor the internet is in our lives today. And I love your playlist!

How do you like the VAST team? I think I'm going to have to scope them out.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
