Eight years ago today I started this blog. In some ways, that was also the first day of my life as an artist. I have always said, and continue to believe, that without the opportunities that being online has brought, I would not be where I am today. Through this blog and my other online sites, I feel that I am a part of a community of people who get it. Who get me. And that has made all the difference in the world.
These past years have brought both spectacular moments and difficult challenges. As with everybody else, there have been ups and downs. Throughout it all has been the consistent and strong support that all of you have given me. I feel so fortunate to have made the connections I have, both online and IRL.
I have much to celebrate, particularly this year. I get to travel all over, teaching workshops to creative souls - all of whom I get to learn from as well. I continue to be able to showcase my art - online and in galleries, books and magazines. And with my ongoing line of stencils with StencilGirl Products, my first collection of rubber stamps with Impression Obsession, and my upcoming line of mixed media products with Spellbinders Creative Arts, I feel like I am about to enter into another thrilling chapter of my life.
I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you and want to thank you with a giveaway. Simply leave a comment on this blog post by end of day on 8/16 to be eligible and be sure I have your email address. The random number table will pick four winners, each of whom will win their choice of the following: my two books, my two workshop DVDs, any two sets of my cling rubber stamps, or any three stencils from my stencil line.
(Thank you. The giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to the four winners: granchris, Irene Rafael, Francesca Watson and Debbie D)
Thank you all! I look forward to the next 8 years of blogging...and beyond.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 210 of 210Congrats Seth- wow has it been that long wow.
Ey up Seth, 8 years- wow! Well you've got to be in it to win it so here I am! I'm currently on my way home from London. I've been to see Benedict Cumberbatch in Hamlet. Tissue paper was blown onto the set in the form of a storm. I got myself a handful and I'm going to include that in a piece of work. Best wishes to you.
Congratulations Seth!!!
I can't believe it - I was actually able to leave a comment this time. The Internet Gods are working today. Yay!
Wow! That's a lot of comments. Also a big commitment to your blog. Keep up the good work.
Happy 8 year blog anniversary! And thanks for the chance to win as part of your celebration. Here's to another 8 & many more!
Congratulations Seth!
You deserve all the good coming your way!!
Nice guys can win!
I love your blog and look forward to your emails. I cant wait for our schedules to come together, so I can take a class with you!
I have just discovered you. Where have I been, under a rock. I am excited about your work and what you have to share. I feel your teaching can bring the artist out in me that has been locked away. I cannot wait to be able to take a class when you are in LA again. Please come back to LA soon. Your quiet genius makes me so happy. There is hope for me yet!!!
Hope you see this comment Janice. I will be in LA again in January and will be teaching in a few spots. More info will be posted in the next few months.
BIG Congratulations to all of the lucky winners!!!!
