I love the blue shades she chose for the background, the dragon, the fish and the seaweed; the pink is a wonderful contrast.<br /><br />The dragon looks so inquisitive about the eel. She really has an eye for composition. It all amazes me because she is a self-taught artist. Every artist needs a little encouragement.

Back in Oct of 2006 when I began my business I had no idea about websites, internet marketing etc and naively believed it was critical to get up a website right away. I thought folks would find it and start shopping. OK, it didn't turn out quite the way I'd expected. It was more work creating that one simple html page than any website work I've done since, including a subsequent total overhaul that changed my website totally out of recognition.<br /><br />Anyway, I was dreaming of success and I wanted my site to look good. Artist Girl drew me a few really nice pictures. This is one is my favorites and I still enjoy it to this day. I'm happy that this little pirate and his parrot will find a new home here.<br />Enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9134823316270402659-105656350665674178?l=cutepixelart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alison Kerrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00732023012497108509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134823316270402659.post-1879961163657427732008-09-14T09:26:00.001-07:002008-09-18T06:25:03.348-07:00<a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W53djaD7i5U/SM07WBNY-5I/AAAAAAAAACw/1oFIFAu9v0c/s1600-h/Pixel+duck+in+tammy+cropped.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W53djaD7i5U/SM07WBNY-5I/AAAAAAAAACw/1oFIFAu9v0c/s320/Pixel+duck+in+tammy+cropped.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245914390424255378" border="0" /></a><br />Copyright Silverdusk LLC, 2008<br />I needed an avatar for my various blogs. I'm in the Usborne books business and Usborne is famous for it's Stephen Cartwright ducks. Not wishing to violate copyright I asked Artist Girl to create for me an original duck wearing a tartan tammy hat. Isn't he cute! Oops - since he's meant to represent me, I must be a little confused because I'm definitely not a 'he'! OK, I'm not the princess dress sort anyway, I could see myself wearing something like this, though I usually wear clothes rather than feathers :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9134823316270402659-187996116365742773?l=cutepixelart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alison Kerrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00732023012497108509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134823316270402659.post-30318885406908512842008-09-13T19:23:00.000-07:002008-09-18T06:25:41.234-07:00<a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W53djaD7i5U/SMx2K7fMgMI/AAAAAAAAACo/5k8gt_4CDgQ/s1600-h/great-fun-books-name.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W53djaD7i5U/SMx2K7fMgMI/AAAAAAAAACo/5k8gt_4CDgQ/s320/great-fun-books-name.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245697596119089346" border="0" /></a><br />Copyright Silverdusk LLC, 2008<br />One of a series of seasonal headers designed for my business website <a href="http://greatfunbooks.com/">GreatFunBooks.com</a>.

I don't know how she does it! It doesn't even take her very long to do.
