New Masterpiece.

Monday, October 16th, 2006

I call this piece “Thanks mom and dad, for my tuition to art school.” (copyright Emma Hillard 2006, crayon on paper tablecloth at Macaroni Grill)
Thanks mom and dad for my tuition to art school.

Yes, one of Fifi’s legs is longer than her body… Sigh…. It was the bad angle, I swear…

Fancy-Schmancy new look.

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

Many thanks to Devon and Moonbatty for the new look of the blog. MB made the pretty picture layout thingie, and Devon installed it, along with plug-ins to help you guys makeĀ  comments look more fancy and to display the latest comments in the menu to the right.

Yeay for prettiness!

problems with this site.

Friday, March 24th, 2006

If you check out this site on a regular basis, you may have noticed that it isnt being found or displayed. Its not my site, its just a problem with the people who we have the site registered through.. Its not directing people to the server where this site is hosted… (or something like that, i only half understood what devon was explaining.)

So keep checking back. Hopefully the company will fix what is wrong with their end.

sorry.

    So the trip back to Boston was pretty decent, and marked by a fabulous development. I talked to the owner of a store called 18 Birch, located in Roslindale, MA, and she is interested in selling my note cards in her store!!! I’m scheduling a trip back to East in January, when she said she would be able to place orders again. She seemed to like the mesh cards and the embellished cards the most, so I’m stepping up my production in those two styles. And a word the wise, you should buy my cards while you can at $5 bux a pop, because they will be sold for around $6 in her store.

    So here is the latest in my creations….

    I enjoy making the special embellished cards, and I’ve been making a ton of them recently!

    Yeay for blogs!

    Monday, October 31st, 2005

    Hey everyone! Devon finally set up a blog for me on emmasart.com, so now you have to deal with my ramblings as well as the obnoxious photos I’ve been putting up. I figure this makes it easy for my family and friends to know what i’ve been up to and thinking about, and also gives potential customers from emmasart.com a more intimate portrait of an artist they may want to support. So feel free to comment, and if any friends or family would be interested in an account where they can post here with me, just shoot me an e-mail.

    Yeay! Let the fun begin!

    And here’s a photo of Fifi, my iguana (with Devon) from 2 days ago at Petco for their halloween pet costume contest, where Fifi ended up taking home Honorable Mention after fighting some very stiff competition. :)
