Ok, probably tacky, but I don't care. It helps me cope with the gaping hole in my inspiration where he used to be
Anyway, I know I've been gone for a very long time, nearly 2 years since my last journal and 1 1/2 since my last upload.
Life has been crazy. I won't go into all the gory details so lets just say I nearly died, TWICE, and I've moved (again) back to Arkansas. This time we found our "forever home". It's a quiet little 1 1/2 acres on a ridge over looking the Ozark foothills with plenty of room for the kids and the dogs and my garden. So ya, I'm happy for the first time in a long time.
I am back to work on my art and my website is live again if anybody cares you can check the link at the bottom of this post
I finally have the room to paint again and I will be starting that soon, I also have a brand new line of bath and body products in development that will be launching soon so check the website for news on that.
TTFN!

A little frustrated...
A question for my artist friends, and this one has plagued me for a while. I've heard many times over the years, that the way to "get noticed" in the art community is to do one thing and do it well. But, to me that has always felt like trying too hard to live up to some abstract ideal of what other people *expect of you.
I don't want to be known just for my 3D work, or just for my graphic designs, or digital paintings, or jewelry. How do I find a balance between finding that recognizable style that lets people know a piece of art is a Tabz Jones or Gothic Toggs original without stifling my need to reach and grow as an artist by trying new t
YET ANOTHER ART THIEF!!
This time right here on DA. ~Mrdarkarcher (https://www.deviantart.com/mrdarkarcher) has stolen a work from my Zazzle shop and had the nerve to put his own watermark on it! My work can be seen here; http://www.zazzle.com/serenity_art_deco_print-228416847492754095 and was created in 2010. His "copy" is here; http://www.deviantart.com/art/Serenity-Art-Deco-Fantasy-Post-Cards-rcd5622967728-366947251
A PSA from Mama
OK, so... a friend over at Zazzle suggested that I use Google's reverse image search tool to see if any more of my "girls" were roaming around in places I didn't put them. >:/ Long story short, I have spent the last 4 days serving DMCA take down notices. So for the record;
1. My artwork is NOT stock. I have a stock account; ~GT-stock (https://www.deviantart.com/gt-stock)
2. My work absolutely, positively is NOT available for comment tags, profile bling, avatars and any other uses y'all can come up with.
3. I do have a commercial license if you would like to use some thing in particular, don't hesitate to note me and I will let you know if the artwork you want is availab
Another thief on Zazzle!!
This is getting ridiculous! Every time I turn around in the Market Place at Zazzle I run across people who can't seem to understand that taking an image from Google search and pasting on products is WRONG. It does NOT belong to you and you should NOT be trying to make money off of some one else's hard work. Didn't your mother teach you not to steal?
It honestly makes me wonder how these people were raised. I'm sorry if that seems a little harsh. But dammit, I'm trying to make a living here. It's one thing to have to compete with other wonderful artists who sell their own work. That's the way it should be. But when the thieves steal all of o
