Should this be any news or does it have to be art related? Or just competitions?

Well something that members of the site would find useful. Obviously not something about celebrity big brother or the x factor.

Hehe

I've written an article called An artist's dream in the Tarn, for an expat website here in France which is a backward glance at my life here in France for the last 5 years. Here's the link

I hope some of you find it slightly interesting. Happy reading.

Hi Cathy. Thats very interesting. As an article rather that news piece I cant really put it on the home page, but I can feature it on artsportfolio.net if you are interested? Or if you feel you cant place it on the site as its already on another, maybe we could write up a summary and place a link to the Tarn site.

Thanks Harry. That's a great suggestion. If you feel it's of interest to the members of voodoochilli, then go ahead. I guess it shows the trials and tribulations of an artist! I didn't sign a contract or anything so I don't see why I shouldn't have it on more than 1 site.

ok great, thanks cathy.

This is live now Cathy

That looks amazing! It's a really nicely laid out site. My partner is a website designer and he liked the simplicity of it. I'm very excited about being on the front page. I'll spread the word.

I've just checked out a site recently called Red Bubble, I saw it mentioned somewhere on this site before and it does look really good. You can sell your work quite easily by the looks of it and I think it is definately worth checking out as you can also just use it to showcase your work, you don't have to put it up for sale.
Cheers Cathy

Yeah looks interesting. Only had a quick look but will spend a bit more time on it when I have some.

I notice a lot of these other sites have a favorites list. been thinking about this a while. Maybe its something I could add to Voodoochilli as it would help prmote some of the artists that done getas much exposure (with low chilli points). Anyway something I will think about.

There is an art competition in Japan.

Cool, will have a look at that, thanks

If I could find their email address I would ask them if they want us to put it on the news section on the home page, but I cant. I dont speak japaneese!

I can speak Japnanese.
Do you mind if I ask them?
Or they have a phone,81-44-900-9898,
(if you want to have a contact to them directly, you can call between 9:30 am - 5:00 pm except Mon)

Please do ask them. It would also be nice if they could give us a link back if possible.

Thanks

OK, they approved having a link with one requirement.

Do you mind this competition,Taro Okamoto Award,would be a top of your site?

Yes it will be at the top of the site until there is any more news (which doesnt happen very often at the moment)

Thankls for translating!

Hi Harry, i have some news of the Urban art fair in Brixton, London. Its on both the 21 and 22 July, which is a first, due to the fact it used to be a one day thing. Loads of artists and a lot of colour drapped across iron fences. I will be there on the 22nd.
