The Debut of Purple Mist Art

Hello All! I want to welcome you to my new Creative Blog here at Blogger. I decided to move my blog over here because not only does it enable followers, but there are SO many artists I admire on Blogger, so I can follow them too. No worries though, the same insight, sketches, and experiences I shared on Wordpress will be shared here as well, all that's changed is the host. So welcome!

Sorry I've been MIA for quite some time, there's been so much going on in my life, creatively and personally, it's been almost impossible to keep up! So thank you for hanging in there with me and continuing to support me on my creative path. You guys are awesome! Now, on to the updates:

Okay, so first things first...my company name. It is now "Purple Mist Art." As most of you know, I came up with the Purple Mist persona during my freshman year of college, and it holds several meanings to me, but the biggest being this: There comes that point in time, when day turns into night and night turns into day. When the sky is bathing in lavender and pink and gray hues. When the stars are faintly sparkling, trying to decide whether they will shine bright or fade away. When life is simultaneously waking up and falling asleep. This is the place where my dreams are made. This is where I find my creativity. This is what I call the Purple Mist. The change in company name also embraces the many changes I'm going through, and allows me to grow not only creatively, but as a businesswoman. I want to go so far beyond just illustration; I want to build a brand. So make a note of it :-).

Second, the website. The basics are the same, just a bit more added to it, and the URL now of course is http://www.purplemistart.com/. I will constantly be adding new work and am working on adding a store and cart to enable people to purchase original artwork and prints. So check it out and drop me some opinions!

Finally, the Fan Page. Seeing how Tasha Taylor Illustrations is now defunct, I decided to make a fan page dedicated to Purple Mist Art. So be sure to "like" me on it. For those of you who are on my personal page, I am going to send out a Suggestion Alert in a minute. For those of you that aren't, simply go to the Search box, type in "Purple Mist Art," and "like" me that way. Liking my page will give you direct access to sales, site updates, events, and any special announcements. Liking me also gives you access to any special discounts and offers I have going on.

So that's it for now. I feel confident in my creative path and I can't thank you all enough for your well wishes and support. That's what drives me to keep going and keep dreaming.

Creatively Yours,

Tasha
