Tuesday is artist appreciation day & today it’s all about the work of Isa Kirk, another artist I found via Twitter.

Last week we took a youtube look at drawing Pegasus and I was shocked to see that I hadn’t posted anything about drawing unicorns. Considering their popularity in the horse world, I went searching for some how to draw unicorn videos.
Perhaps an easier subject than Pegasus, the unicorn also seems to pull at the heartstrings of people of all shapes & sizes, even the boys. The videos below feature two different artists who offer help drawing the lovely unicorn (this will help you brush up on your horse drawing skills too). I’m on a roll with these artistic videos & will continue to post more drawing tips when I find them.

It’s Saturday and I thought I’d post about something unusual and fun. Many of my post ideas come from a single image & this post is no different. The story goes like this: after seeing one horse & rainbow picture I had to search out more.
Now it must be noted that getting a great horse photograph isn’t always easy, and rainbows are even more difficult. So it goes without saying that snapping the two in harmony is priceless.
Yep, it’s true (or it should be) – at the end of every rainbow is a horse.

It’s been awhile since I posted some unusual horse art so I thought it was time to share more of it. My love of art is eclipsed only by my love of horses, so combining the two has been a lot of fun.
In my constant searches I find plenty of horse art that makes me go “hmmm” and still others that make me go WOW!
Utilizing interesting materials and techniques, these artists manage to represent the equine in some truly magnificent (albeit rather strange) ways.
As far as I’m concerned, the stranger the better. So prepare yourself, it’s time for more of the unusual.
Although there aren’t as many options as some of the other platforms, there are still quite a few horse games for the Playstation 2, each one providing its own brand of entertainment. The list below provides a link to where they can be found on Amazon and a brief description.
From Barbie adventures, to unicorn quests to fast-paced Thoroughbred racing, this list may have the widest variety of them all.

When did you take your first picture?
Well take and make are two different things. I don’t remember the first photo I took. We all pushed a shutter release button at sometime in our life. I do remember the first photos I ‘made’. I was in high school and our family was on vacation visiting relatives. My parents were nominated to be ‘photographers’ for an organization they belonged to.

It’s no secret that drawing horses is no easy task, all those curves, all those shadows and all of those shapes that just don’t seem to fit together on the page (of course not, it doesn’t frustrate me at all). 😉
This post aims to make things even more difficult by throwing feathers into the mix. That’s right, everyone loves Pegasus the winged horse but, drawing him is another story altogether. Luckily there are artists who can draw Pegasus and here are a couple of tutorials to help you do the same.

It’s always fun to meet other horse people via social media, especially those with obvious marketing savvy. That’s how I connected with Lisa Kemp, through the colorful horse community on Twitter.
From friendfeed to facebook to twitter there are tons of different platforms for forming community. Some are well suited for the animal industry…some not so much.
Either way, it almost takes an online marketing & social media expert to work it all out. Unfortunately not all of us know someone of that ilk and we have to forge ahead on our own.
