It's been a while since I have updated my blog and social media accounts, although I have been working on commissioned pieces, I took a bit of a break from actively promoting my work towards the end of what was a bit of a difficult year for various reasons. However, I'm pleased to say that after a restful Christmas and New Year, then a very positive January helping out with the <a href="http://www.veganuary.com/" target="_blank">Veganuary</a> campaign, I'm back and ready to go full steam ahead! <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, to kick things off, I'm going to do my first giveaway in a little while. Rather than the usual A4 print, I'm going to offer a an A3 print, and include shipping anywhere in the world. </div>

First of all I had a couple of big deadlines for my uni work, I was in a car accident, and then my cat had to have surgery and required quite a lot of care afterwards. Now finally uni is done for the summer - hooray! I didn't break anything in the car accident but it left me too sore to paint for a couple of months. My cat seems to be on the mend too so all's well that ends well! <br />
<br />
I've spent the last couple of weeks preparing for the local Reading Art's Week exhibition. I was interviewed for the local paper to help promote the event which was nice. Here you can see one my works that's in the exhibition and the newspaper article. <br />

Having some time out was good in a way, I've had some time to think about new and different ideas for works I'd like to do. Don't worry, I'll still be painting my most popular abstract styles but it is nice to mix things up a bit. For example, here's a mixed-media piece I'm currently working on called, 'Sad Robot'. </div>

<br />
It may be a good 6 weeks or so away but I thought it would be useful to share with you the dates for ordering in time for Christmas. <br />
<br />
<b>For paintings in stock </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Courier dates change but provisionally, I would say to order no later than the 18th of December if you need to receive the painting before Christmas. <br />
<br />
<b>For custom paintings</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
If you would like to order a custom painting in time for Christmas delivery, please aim to do so before 30 November. If for any reason you need to order after this date, please chat with me so we can figure out if there's anything I can do. <br />
<br />
<b>For prints, greeting cards etc</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
In the UK - no later than midday on Friday 20th of December<br />
<br />
For overseas, midday UK time as follows:<br />

Well what a great week it's been. Reading Arts Week kicked off on the back of Water Fest on Saturday 15 June with the Art Village in Forbury Gardens. Despite the rain it was really quite busy and there was a great lively atmosphere with some great music from some of the Reading College Music Tech students & bands.<br />
<br />

<br />
Throughout the week there were some other events including a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.489284011140417.1073741830.243783079023846&type=3" target="_blank">fashion show</a> in Market Place. Then at the end of the week we saw the kick-off of the Reading Arts Week exhibition at Reading College. The event was combined with the Reading College end of year show with music and an art exhibition of the students' work. There really were some great pieces and some really thought-provoking installations. Here's one of my pieces hanging on display. <br />

<br />
There were a lot of great paintings from other artists, here are a few I really liked...<br />

I have to say, as always the week was incredibly well-organised by the lovely <a href="https://twitter.com/chrisdbrant" target="_blank">Chris Brant</a>. The idea behind Reading Arts Week is a great one, it's really inclusive and does a great job of bringing together artists in the area as well as providing a platform for new and developing artists to show their work. I'm already really looking forward to next year! louisemeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08959667564564657791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941561085477647361.post-42713588335178554412013-06-18T15:17:00.001-07:002013-06-18T15:31:21.757-07:00Giveaway time!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First thing's first, Happy New Year! I'm a little late, I know but it's been so busy. So much for things slowing down in the New Year. I'm certainly not complaining mind you! <br />
<br />
So what news do I have to share? Well, first of all there's this lovely customer photo from Neil in Hampshire of his commissioned painting hanging in its new home. I love the wallpaper! <br />

Next there's the winner of the last print give-away - Sandra from The Feminine Touch. <br />
<br />
Third of all is to say that I'm working on some new pieces but they've had to take a little bit of a back seat whilst I get on with the queue of commissioned works that I currently have. <br />
<br />
Christmas was good, we didn't get up to much but it was great just to have a few days of down-time. <br />
<br />
Finally, I'm in the process of planning my first school workshop which I'm really looking forward to. I'm going to be visiting a primary school and working with a class to create a giant tree painting. I'm really excited about it. <br />
<br />

You can see a photo of the little beauty left! <br />
<br />
As always, my prints will be on heavy archival fine art paper and I will continue to use Canon ChromaLife 100+ inks to ensure the prints have a long life on your wall. <br />
<br />
So far I've optimised and added the most popular designs for sale - you can see them <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/louisemead?section_id=12742122" target="_blank">here</a> but do get in touch if there's a design you can't see but would like me to print for you. <br />

Another beautiful customer photo from Emma in Tyne & Wear! I love the wallpaper - it's such a delicious colour and the paisley is so pretty! The lovebirds painting was a commissioned piece to fit with the colours Emma had chosen for the room. louisemeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08959667564564657791noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941561085477647361.post-79801285459869869312012-11-02T05:19:00.000-07:002012-11-02T05:19:57.133-07:00Using Google Images to see where your images are online<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/imghp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6rkK1Ujjv_AL_McBhR949LgowWjPswvI-szNNZAnyyGvB-_vkcGqLYqC4Wp_eLuiiISC9FrJjTosyVWJWB-xVEYLOXHfeDXZ7tpnpzTKWJb__ZLfUDPtHtEpTu4xsFNkH9RCtGHPj0Lc/s1600/images_logo_lg.gif" /></a></div>
I've spoken to a few artists and makers lately who've had their images taken and used without permission. <br />
<br />
Sometimes it may be a relatively harmless occurrence, with perhaps a blogger or Facebook user posting a photo without realising they ought to ask for permission. Other times it's more serious and damaging to the artist where there have been Facebook pages and websites set up using images and offering to create replicas of handmade items or prints of original artworks cheaply. <br />
<br />
Whilst there are a number of things people can do to try and prevent such theft - such as watermarking photographs, it's not 100% foolproof. After all, artists and makers need to make sure their images are presented nicely enough for people to want to buy their products and if somebody is determined enough and is able to use Photoshop, they can get round watermarks to a degree. <br />
<br />
Quite a big part of the problem is that the owner of the images often doesn't even know their images are being used. This is where Google comes in. When I was discussing it, quite a few people seemed unaware of the function in Google Images whereby you could search for copies of your image that had been indexed by Google. What's more, you could even use it to try and track down the original artist of a piece photographed if you wanted to. It's really easy as you'll see from these instructions:<br />
<br />
1. Go to <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/imghp" target="_blank">Google Images</a>, or go to Google and click on Images at the top of the screen. Then in the search bar click on the little camera icon (as pictured below).<br />

2. Decide whether to paste the URL (web location address) of the image or to upload it from your computer or device, then click search. </div>

3. Hey presto! Google returns a list of all the places it knows of that have your image. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's about it! I know it won't help prevent people from taking your images but at least if you know about it, you can begin to do something about it. And perhaps if people know that they're more likely to get found out, they'll be less inclined to take images in the first place. </div>
