Those are not Frida Kahlo's eyes... those are my eyes, circa 1980 or so when I was a student at the University of Washington School of Art - the photo was part of a photo project by a Seattle photographer named Judy (I forget her last name)...

Just out of the blue a nice collector from West Seattle sends me a nice note with a couple of images... she acquired this hand-colored print at an antique shop in Tacoma.
"Unicorn Mare and Foal" is part of a series of fantasy drawings and prints that I did while I was at the University of Washington School of Art for illustration class and for a private limited edition of a book that a friend of a friend was printing.
All of these were sold at the Pike Place Market.

After six months of development, the East City Art team has just finished the ECA Artist Directory which provides an alternative to WPA's soon to be discontinued art file.
As one of the requestors, the directory was created at the request of many artists who wished to see it continue.
Here is the link - CLICK HERE.
ECA soft launched it last week and it officially went public Friday, April 30. Here are some of the Directory's features:
- Self-serve with a user-friendly interface. Artists can link to their payment processor and ECA never takes a commission
- Artists can post their artist statement, CV, website, social media, coming exhibitions
- This is tied to ECA and function as a classifieds section of ECA, benefiting from ECA's traffic
- The new ECA site is scheduled to launch May 24 and will have a cleaner plug-in to the directory
- Speaking of traffic, the directory will be fine-tuned for SEO. Online and social media ads will feature Directory. They are also planning systematic promotions and communications to ensure continued Directory interest.
- The cost is $120 per year.
As I've noted before, Queen Victoria, on her way to the Highlands, used to travel through the tiny Scottish village of Edzell, in the Angus region of Scotland. Thus, the locals built an arch to honor their English queen.
From 1989-1992, I lived a few minutes from the village of Edzell, and the arch was a much visited subject of my drawings back then. Below are some examples of those works from those years. These are all in multiple collections in Scotland and the US.
