How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
  There've been so many deviants who've made an impact, either by being an inspiration or a friend, or both. I'm hard pressed to name just one, but I'd like to pay tribute to one who's no longer with us, batoruco He was one of the first people I met on DA who was also using Apophysis and we had many talks about fractals, which eventually led us to join up with another fractal pioneer, onebadpenny to create a group just for fellow Apo lovers. He encouraged so many in the fractal community, myself included. Although we never met face to face, he was a true friend, and he is missed dearly.

What are your preferred tools to create art?
  Apophysis/Chaotica/Super Sculpey

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
  My head.

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
  FractalNazi. 'Nuff said.

It seems these days as though life is something that has been happening to me, not something that I am making happen. I need to get out and meet more people.

Wow, so much has happened since the last time I updated my journal, I hardly know where to begin...

Michael and I are still living, loving and laughing in Cincinnati, OH! I have my kids back and they are in school. I respect their ability to jump right into new social atmospheres and make new friends. It's something I find particularly hard to do. Breaking the ice, idle chit-chat - I'm not very good at it.

But I decided I need to get out more, and I looked around for an artists guild where I might be able to have some studio space away from home. I recently found what I was looking for - they have regular meetings, classes and events and I'll have access to a kiln, darkroom, wood shop, a CNC machine, and hopefully, I'll have opportunities to work with other talented artists. I'm feeling so inspired!

This month, I'm submitting three pieces to the Secret Artworks exhibit www.artworkscincinnati.org/sec… It was a lot of fun last year so I'm excited to be a part of it again this year. Also, I don't know if I'll have time to get my print up there or not, but DAMNED III is taking place at the end of the month up in Detroit. If you're in the area for Halloween, this is one art event you do NOT want to miss out on. thatdamnedshow.com/  … won't be able to make it in person this year, but maybe next...

In other news, I've had my foot in a walking cast for the last 6 weeks with one more week to go. I'm sick of walking like a zombie with this thing. I'm ready to be done with it for good. Let's hope the podiatrist has good news when I go back to see him.

Are you on Facebook? Many of my friends, family and coworkers are there so guess what... I am too! I've been keeping a dream journal there, which is more or less an artistic experiment really. I post an image, usually a photograph I have on file, but sometimes I do a quick sketch, whatever fits the theme of the dream. Check it out here: www.facebook.com/pages/Stacy-R… or add me to your friends list: www.facebook.com/StacyReed

Hmmm, what else?

We moved to a new server and launched Librarian Chick 2.0 complete with site-redesign and a couple new sponsors! If you or someone you know are a student or educator, you may want to check out this categorized hand-picked list of free resources like ebooks, games, lectures, tutorials, etc: www.librarianchick.com

And last bit of news for the day, I'm now going on my 10th year with Tucows.com - still working as a software reviewer/librarian and I think it's probably safe to announce (maybe not, let's keep it between you and me for now) that we'll be launching a new site redesign (ahem, overhaul) in the not so distant future. I've been working, working, working... and so excited because this is going to be the best Tucows.com EVER!

Well, that's all I've got time for today.

Hi guys,

Really love what you've been doing with the group, and the contribution each of you have made in an effort to continue serving the fractal community!  Applause!

I was wondering if you knew that the people you have listed as founders are not the true founders of this group. A founder is one that founds or establishes.  These great folks may be current admin, but the original founders were myself, onebadpenny, and batoruco. One is never an ex-founder - they are always the founder.

I appreciate that you included me in the list of contributors, but I find it a bit unseemly not to acknowledge the hard work and leadership that went into starting this group. Myself and Javier devoted years of our lives, sometimes neglecting other responsibilities, to make sure this group grew and succeeded.

I know this may come across as a silly request, but I would appreciate being placed back on the list of founders along with my co-founders, Russa and Javier. I feel we deserve recognition for our service.  

Keep up the great work, guys!
Stacy
