Releasing the butterfly ACEO 16/01/2013 and others / et autres choses

Hello there,

a bit later then usual today but in France wednesday is no school day, which means, in my case, all 3 children at home ;-)

I'd like to introduce you my today's aceo for the project that is dedicated to a twitter friend and an awesome artist Sandra Lock (she also in my favourite link here on the blog).
I met Sandra on twitter a couple of months ago, don't remember who was between us to get in touch first, it doesn't matter. She's really nice, she gave me exposure in her blog which I still thank her for, and she does a really interesting work with digital art.
Also Sandra is affected unfortunatly with fibromyalgia which is a neurological condition that can be really painfull and invalidating , so when she "disappear " it means that she's not well enough...which it's a bad news.
Even if this aceo is "too green" for her ;-) (and this is between us) I keep my initial idea to dedicated this to you that are beautiful for you to keep flying!

Hello tout le monde!

un peu plus tard que d'habitude aujourd'hui, mais en France mercredi n'est pas un jour l'école, ce qui signifie, dans mon cas, les 3 enfants à la maison ;-)

J'aimerais vous présenter mon aceo d' aujourd'hui pour le projet qui est dédié à une amie connue sur twitter ainsi que une artiste originale Sandra Lock (elle est aussi dans mes liens favoris ici sur le blog).
J'ai rencontré Sandra sur twitter il ya quelques mois, je ne me souviens pas qui était entre nous à entrer en contact avec l'autre d'abord, ce n'est pas important.  
Elle est vraiment sympa, elle m'a présentée aussi sur son blog chose dont je la remercie encore et elle fait un travail vraiment intéressant avec l'art numérique.
Sandra est affectée malheureusement par la  fibromyalgie qui est une affection neurologique qui peut être très douloureuse et invalidante, alors quand elle «disparaître», cela signifie qu'elle n'est pas assez bien ... ce qui est une mauvaise nouvelle.

Même si cette aceo est "trop vert" à son gout ;-) (c'est entre nous) je garde mon idée initiale de lui dédier à toi qui est belle et qui continue à voler!

Releasing the butterfly - Feminine ACEO - 16/01/2013

 

#Twitterartexhibit LA 2013 a great project

My postcards paintings "#Loving family of four" and "#Nighttime breastfeeding" are arrived safely in Los Angeles for the third #Twitter Art Exhibition 2013 and I honestly couldn't be more happier, I hate when my artworks travel even if I do my best for them to get safe to wherever destination, still....

Loving Family of four - 2012

Nighttime breastfeeding - 2012

This exhibition is the result of some wonderful idea and lots of work from artist David Sandum (@DavidSandumArt), from Moss in Norway and others artist (and not just) that joined him in this project.
In the Organizing Board and on #twitter you'll find also Robin Maria Pedrero (@robinpedrero) , Christian Karlsson (@svorsk), Ryan Seslow (@ryanseslow) and Nat George (@natgeorgela)

The exhibition's goal: help charities and not for profit organizations around the world.
2013 will be the third edition and I must say I'm really proud to be part of it!
I truly admire the idea of course but also the huge amount of work that this rapresents.
I did years of volunteer in my past and I kind of know what does it means....congratulations guys!

Artists on twitter are sending postcard size paintings with diverse subjects and styles to the exhibition from all around the world.  
All these artworks will be on a wall at EU Gallery in Chinatown's Arts District in Los Angeles and sold for charity. 
The money raised will go to EU Art Division helping underserved youths 18-25.
For what I can see on the official web site there is a lot of high quality art for a hig quality project.
I wish I could be able to go there personally but maybe another year.

If you're an artist and still want take part to this project read the call for artist page.
Submission deadline is Friday, January 4, 2013. Don’t miss the deadline due to holiday postal delays!


Enjoy the art!
