i have some very exciting projects that i need to focus on so this will be my last image for awhile. whenever i have time, i will post.. but i might be away from posting for a long stretch. meanwhile, i’ll be at emerald city comicon in seattle in a few weeks! if you’re around, stop by and say hello! i’ll be in artist alley table N-16 ^_^
hiya!
first of all, i want to say thank you. thank you for sharing, posting, commenting on, purchasing and ultimately liking my work. sometimes i find it hard to believe how much love and support i’ve received through emails, messages, and comments in a mere three years. so thank you. truly!
i understand that when i complete and post an illustration online, its not mine anymore. i’ve given it to you. as i give it to you, though, i do ask that you take care of it. the question of how to care for, share and support my work has come up a lot recently. here are the best and “approved” ways of using and sharing my work:
1. sharing it on facebook, twitter, pinterest, tumblr, or any social media with proper credit and link (it should look like this: image by Nidhi Chanani, everydayloveart.com)
2. using it as a personal profile photo with proper credit and link
3. sharing via email with proper credit and link
when someone shares my work without credit, it stinks! removing my name from my work is like erasing my identity. when someone prints or prints and distributes my work from the web, it is illegal. the only person who can print and distribute my work is me. i try to make my work accessible and affordable. and, honestly, the only way i can continue creating art is through your support.. and that’s all that i’ve ever wanted, to continue to create everyday and make people happy.
thank you, again, for your support… i’ve been out sick with the flu and i hope to be back sometime next week!
warmly,
nidhi
this will be the beginning of my pulling back on daily drawings. my calendar is full with shows, work and cons until july already and i am feeling excited but also overwhelmed. i will post when i can! have a great week ^_^
this is an older image. the one place i can always convince my hubbahubba to dance with me is in our apartment. and oh my do we dance! some of my favorite times are when we’re in our pjays shimmying to records.
also a friendly reminder that today is the last day to order prints & such and guarantee arrival by christmas.
i will be exhibiting at my last and favorite show tomorrow night, december 14th at the california academy of sciences. come by if you’re around! if you can’t make it and would like to get some prints, card, etc please order soon to ensure it gets there by christmas – i suggest ordering by december 18th.
also, i know i keep saying this but i will be taking a long break to work on a big project. it’s hard for me to stop drawing what i love… but i must! i will be back as soon as i can ^_^
meanwhile, have a lovely week!
i might not post again for awhile due to some large projects. i will be vending at vagabond this sunday december 9th in the inner sunset. i hope to see you there! have a great week! ^_^
things are quite busy around here… i have a few big projects running simultaneously so i will be taking a break from posting everyday – but i will post when i can! meanwhile, i hope to see you this weekend at bazaar bizarre!
have a lovely week ^_^
today you can get free shipping in my shop with the code YAYLOVE2012 – for US orders over $30. happy monday!
I’m so excited to share my shiny new website with you – everydayloveart.com! After a couple of months of data transfer, uploading, adjusting, and testing it’s finally ready for your eyes ^_^ Now you can order prints directly from my site and (drumroll please) I am now offering smaller (8×10) prints! All of my greeting cards, magnets and other products are also available. And my absolute favorite is the new Pick a Print feature – because I have over 500 images that grows daily, it sometimes takes away from creating new work to always add items to my shop. Now you can order a print from the past, or one that I’ve just created by typing in the title!
But that’s not all, I invite you to take a minute and look at the new site ^_^ I kind of love it, what do you think? ^_^
i am somewhat like a cat – curious and attracted to shiny, new things. as an artist i feel the same attraction to new things but often i don’t find the time to explore those desires. as i look forward in my career and life i want to be able to evolve with my work, to go where the art takes me. as much as i direct it, it also directs me. over the past year i’ve been very attracted to watercolor. the indian student in me kept saying “i need to take a class” and the nidhi in me said, “just try it!” so i did – armed with what i know about art already, some good paint and some not-so-good brushes ^_^
these are my results, and the trio of framed pieces will be available at trickster in berkeley. (grand opening this friday & saturday)
