This evening I created a New Album at my blog http://judecowell.blog.com but it's only for those aged 17+ please. Two images reside there as of yet to be ordered as a secure attachment for your desktop wallpaper. Details in the post about Boudoir Blossoms.
And as I returned to Gather a moment ago to write this article I was sad to discover that Alkistis W., a marvelous Brit architect and artist, has left Gather entirely.
Her Recent Project:
Alkistis recently wrote a 'cartoon story' about 'Sigalit' where she montaged some Gather members' photos and artwork for illustration and added her own excellent painting talents to the mix.
Gaining my okay for the use of my drawings and an old photo of myself which had seen much worse days than the gentle treatment Alkistis gave it, her montages gave a new prespective on my own creative efforts for I appreciate collaborations, you see.
Besides:
Art is to be shared. All art is derivative. Art is all around us.
Yet some Gatherers did not approve of her use of their work and so I assume Alkistis has left in something of a huff...just my assumption for I don't actually know the particulars of her leaving.
Anyhow, I'll be missing her wit and creative abilities. 'Bye, Alkistis, fair skies to you and yours.
Here's her Delphi Design website address...this link may not work periodically but I'll repair it later if so:

I love it and I especially love her womanly curves..... :O)
Lots of trouble uploading this article WITH image...image loader is not my friend tonight...will edit tomorrow if the Gather Gremlins will allow...perhaps improvement may be found.
Perhaps I'll post the right side of the picture as well.
Here's another link to Alkistis' site for Books...www.delphi-books.co.uk/ it's under construction but still lovely.
