Rosalys — Thu, 17 May 2012 10:20:50 +0000

I am pleased to let you see the catalog of Univers partagés editions, just out from the printing!

On the back, 3 folds for 3 books ^___^ I have not received only the catalog, I also received the Final press of the next book as a paper book, and the validation of quality control in order to distribute it as an eBook. It’s ready, it comes in 3 optimized formats and in two languages, I can’t count the hours working on it, because it is as if there were 6 books to bring to the public, but everything is done with great passion!

See you at the release date – May 29, 2012 – to discover what is the next UP-book!

Open sharing – the virtuous circle of sharing

Rosalys — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:48:34 +0000

Last November, Trey Radcliff put into words what I felt for a long time about something important on the web: “The Spirit of Internet-trust”. Exactly the mindset that makes me love the Internet during the past 14 years, that made me put my website under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (that also makes me love Google+).

And now, Trey writes about Pinterest and expands the topic to: “Sharing Is not the future; it’s the now”. I didn’t want get interested in Pinterest, I am already over-connected, but he know how to talk to me: I am an artist who creates in order to communicate and who has a strong belief in the goodwill of Internet users who appreciate my work sincerely. And therefore, do I want to share on a popular platform my latest creations that can be, if it’s appreciated, re-shared with the correct paternity respected? Yes! So here it is, I am on Pinterest, ah la la ^____^

Sketches

Rosalys — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:48:16 +0000

And do you enjoy seeing sketches? I’m having fun right now in uploading photos of sketches directly via iPhone in Instagram: @rosalys_art ^o^! As I spend much more time in putting the finishing touches to my illustrations now – average completion time from 8 hours to… 5 days ^^; – it’s a fun way to continue to share new pictures.

So far I had not tested Instagram because there are already plenty of networks. And the Open Graph of facebook, as an inter-network protocol, began to integrate it very well, so I let myself try ^ o ^ What a surprise to see that so many people use it regularly! I found illustrators Japanese, American, French, mostly everyone, it’s fantastic! If you too are on Instagram, feel free to add me ^_^
