And now, I’m off! I hate the cold, I hate flying, but I will brave both...probably without sleep. XD I’ve never gone anywhere for five months at a time, let alone an exclusive study course thousands of miles away, so this should be exciting. Lots of things to learn and do and people to meet. I already miss my cat and parrot. *sigh* I will have internet access, so I’ll be able to keep up with e-mails (hopefully). I don’t intend to draw much while I’m there---I’m all burned out, and won’t have a scanner, besides---but I do intend to write! Hopefully I can finally make some progress toward finishing the third “Wars of Avenan” novel, which has been delayed so many years. If you’re curious what all my artwork is about, you can find more information about my original fantasy series here.
Many, many thanks to all you MH visitors and dear friends. I hope you each have a wonderful and productive new year! :D

The MeadowHaven Print Shop is now closed, and will not open again until I return in May 2009. Books and calendars can still be ordered through my website (my publisher handles those), but prints and cards are no longer available. Commissions are also closed. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Yes, I am aware that the online games Elven Blood and Hammerfall on Facebook/Myspace have stolen my work and are using “Forsaken” and “Dark Warrior” without permission. They have freely taken artwork from many artists all over the web, and seem to ignore all reports or requests to either provide credit or remove the images. I’m not sure what else to do, but you can learn more about the issue here and how to help stop it.

Holidays and Snow

Despite the winter storms and airport delays, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I wish you all the best for the upcoming new year! ^__^
It's been crazy here--we've been snowed in almost two weeks straight with a total of around 22 inches. I'm very thankful that we've had no power outages, though my net connection has been periodically unstable--sorry for the delay in answering any e-mails. The weather's finally starting to clear up here, so I'll be able to make it out Monday-Tuesday for my last shopping/mailing trip to town before I leave. For all of those who placed last-minute orders for cards and prints, everything will go out then! ^__^ |

Faeren and Morgan Artbook Release!
|
|
By Adele - Monday November 24th, 2008 - 5:17:PM

Finally! After many, many delays and well over a year of planning, drawing, painting and writing, "The Art of Faeren" and "The Art of Morgan" artbook is complete and available for order! Why two titles? Because it’s two books in one! This artbook has no end, but two beginnings. That makes this book different from any I have done before.
It tells the tale of rival characters Faeren and Morgan through story synopsis and illustrations as they fight their way toward each other from opposite ends of the book. The "Art of Faeren" side begins with an overview of Faeren’s story and information concerning the Forest of Illusions. The illustrations follow Faeren's younger days as a knight and continue through his death, transformation, and glimpses of his future. The “Art of Morgan” side similarly begins with Morgan, his version of the story, and artwork leading up from his rebel days into his “Raven Wilderlord” transformation and beyond. When you reach the middle of the book where the characters meet and the artwork inverts, simply flip the book over and start from the other beginning! ^__^
The artbook is 72 pages, glossy paperback 8.5x11” in size, and includes 85 full color paintings and black and white illustrations and sketches from myself and many other talented artists! Please click the preview image below to go to the Meadowhaven BookStore page for ordering details. :)

Site Changes and Calendars
|

Meadowhaven is currently undergoing a bit of a revamp! All gallery banners and page headers have been changed, information has been updated, some things have been moved around or deleted. The most noticeable changes are to the Art Gallery, Meadowhaven Store and FAQ. The site header will eventually change, as well, as soon as I decide on a new design. Faeren's little blinking avatar and the static butterflies have been up for too many years now. ^__^;;
~2009 Fantasy Art Wall Calendars have arrived!~
12 month wall calendars featuring selected images for each month. Coil-bound, full color, 8.5x11" pages, 11x17" when hung up. Click the preview images below for ordering details.

Meadowhaven Print Shop -- 25% off until December!

I'm currently in the process of revamping the Meadowhaven Print Store, so until that is back up and running, all available prints can be found and ordered from ~HERE~. New pieces: "Healer's Touch" and "A Star For A Heart" are now available in print. Also, a few new cards have been added to the Gift Cards section. 25% off all print orders from now until December!

Sorry for the lack of updates the past couple months. A new artbook has just been completed (been working on it since early this year) and should be released to the printers by the end of this month. It's a unique book, and different from anything I've done before. Details coming soon! :)
---
Just a note: ALL book orders for Christmas must be placed before the end of November if they're to arrive in time! The postal service becomes very tricky once December hits. x_X;; But more on that soon. I will also be hosting an "Everything must go" print sale in the next week or so, to clear out my stock. I will be leaving sometime in December or January and won't be back until around May, so I will be unable to fill any print orders or update with new images during that time. I'm rushing to get my remaining projects wrapped up before then, so the list below should get considerably slimmer shortly. Many apologies, but I will no longer be accepting commissions.

I joined up with the art community CGhub.com, and highly recommend it to other graphic artists! It seems like a very clean, professional, and fun little place. You can find my gallery here. Please feel free to drop by and say hi! I know practically nobody there yet, and all interaction and potential contacts are welcome. ^__^
