Pseudo Pompous Digital Print
Blue Cupcake Cathedral, 2011 Digital Illustration by Amy D. Herzel
From the artist:
"As an artist I work in both drawing and digital mediums. My digital work at times is explicit in its political overtones. As a printmaker I see in layers, thus the digital medium allows me to compose multiple layers like a visual fugue. For me the beauty in the image is the alchemy of harmony where each image has a voice, but the alternative image created by their intersection creates a greater truth. This process also reflects the way of harmonious nature and the essential goal of all my work. My micro drawings are more like raw form organisms. These drawings are created through spontaneous meditations and make corporeal the crystallization of an experience. Each drawing begins with contemplation perhaps upon motherhood, sexuality, memory, or age and I allow the drawing to build itself through the focus on individual shapes and overlapping patterns. What is realized at the completion of each drawing is both the minutia of process and the carcass or shelter of an understanding." Signed digital print with mat. 4.5 x 6.5

The New Livestock Farmer
Including information on cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and goats, and exotics like bison, rabbits, elk, and deer
How can anyone from a backyard hobbyist to a large-scale rancher go about raising and selling ethically produced meats directly to consumers, restaurants, and butcher shops? With the rising consumer interest in grass-fed, pasture-raised, and antibiotic-free meats, how can farmers most effectively tap into those markets and become more profitable? The regulations and logistics can be daunting enough to turn away most would-be livestock farmers, and finding and keeping their customers challenges the rest.
