Facing Forward

Facing forward and ready to embrace what 2011 has to offer.

Just Breathe

I created a few pieces since my last post. For the sake of not bogging down the download process I'll just place one here.

This one I ended up calling "Just Breathe". Sometimes you just need a visual reminder, ya know.



If you'd like to see some of the stuff I have it in my flickr account:

Other than that, I have been crazy busy. I have a lot of wonderful plans for 2011 and just want to make sure they come to fruition.

Wish me luck! and ttys!!

Lockets Now Available!

Hi All!
I am very happy to announce that Jaishi and Polarity have join forces to bring you something truly wonderful!

Now available are beautifully handcrafted lockets by Polarity that feature two of my images "Sometimes Butterflies Cry Too" and "Sunshine" along with a definition word. For my set she selected "Strength". How awesome is that?!

Not only are they extremely beautiful and well done, they are also green friendly and environment conscience made from recycled steel auto parts.

You should definitely check them out!

Beware of the Dark Side

Most of my focus was on Breast Cancer Awareness this month. Then I was going to shift my focus to Christmas after that but ended up getting quite a few requests to create a Halloween piece.

I'm so glad those wonderful people suggested I do a Halloween piece because I absolutely love how "Beware of the Dark Side" turned out!







If you're interested in owning a print, I have them available in my etsy shop jaishi.etsy.com

Now back to creating more art!

Breast Cancer Awareness

I'm a little early but October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Unfortunately so many have been effected by this wretched illness and I wanted to do my part in the fight for the cure.

Below are two art pieces I've created. 25% of all proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.




I hope you will consider adding to your art collection while supporting a good cause.

Thanks!

Geisha Scorned

Howdy All!
I am very excited to announce that I have a brand new print! I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on this one. I think it's because many can relate to her message. The quote on the image reads:

"All I wanted was to love you but I refuse to pay the cost if the price is losing me."



When you have a moment check it out and let me know what you think!

If you are interested in owning the print right now there are four left in my Etsy shop ~> jaishi.etsy.com.

Peace & Blessings,
Jaishi

The Place of Dreams

Can you image a world without artists, musicians, poets? I shutter at the thought. Make sure you follow your dreams and always remember, age isn't a physical number, it's a state of being. It's a state of mind.

If you'd like to own this print (which makes an excellent visual reminder) it's available at:

Etsy and eBay

Updates

So much has happened since my last post.

On May 25, 2010 I became a EBSQ Juried Artists. I am really excited about this. I always was the type of person that create art that suited my heart (and not conform to what's "popular") so to get recognition while still being true to myself is a phenomenal feeling.

In June, my "Ti Zwazo" illustration won an award/Patron's Mention for the Nursery Rhyme show (that means you guys, yes you, took the time to visit and "liked" my illy. So thank you!!
Nursery Rhyme Show

Also in June, I officially became a licensed artist for My Tag Art. My images will be released on July 2nd. I am soooo excited about this. Please make sure you stop by. If you create anything please let me know. I would LOVE to see it.
MyTagArt.com

I will have more to announce soon! Just have to wait until everything is "official". I hope you all are doing well!! and I'll keep you posted as more develop.

Afro'na Lisa

Mona Lisa has been "Jaishi'fied".

Happy Beyond

Here's what I've been working on the past few days. I really enjoyed how it turned out. I think from now on I will be offering prints both with and without quotes. Right now I have them both available over at eBay & Etsy.


Above is the smaller print (8.5"x11")


and this is larger print (13"x19")

The quote reads: "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you decided to look beyond the imperfections."

eBay Store

I opened (well reopened) my eBay store. Here's the link http://stores.shop.ebay.com/jaishi. Right now it has a few of my prints in my larger sizes. I'll be adding more as time permits. So definitely check it out and spread the word ^_^

TWA (African Variation)

This print is available in my Etsy Shop as well as my website.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite prints and one of the most well received. Here I have the silhouette against African background colors. Hope you like =)

Contemplating

What could she be contemplating?
Telling her boss to take a hike...
Having that one scoop (um scratch that) tub of triple double fudge ice cream...
Going on that blind date after all...
The world may never know.
