I love dragons. I live in Texas.
This has been my professional web design, graphic design, web site photography portfolio web site for many years.
I’m not doing much professional web design these days and have not for a few years now … life changes, expands and moves forward … this web site is now doing the very same thing – it is changing, growing and expanding it’s horizons into todays technology / Web 2.0 Internet Style and my current lifestyle, interests and business projects. It is still a portfolio showcasing my various talents though mainly writing, designing and painting are the primary direction of my efforts now in 2007 when I am not working at my day job or sitting in traffic in the Houston area.

As well as web site design, graphic design and photography, I also paint – oil and watercolors and computer painting – using Corel Painter IX – now also X and Nature Painter paint software. Some of my oil and watercolor paintings are for sale locally through my studio. I keep a very active personal journal blog there. I write / publish articles / stories on my personal web site.

– Katy Texas: Realtor 2005 – Loan Officer 2007
This is my daughter. I’m the registered owner of her websites only because I know about domains, web sites and web hosting. She has two domains – the other is: www.bobbimattern.com – both have the same information right now about her Realtor business.
She passed the Realtor test the very first time which is a major accomplishment – it is a very difficult test that many have to re-take several times to pass and get their Realtor license.
Yes I am very proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She is also the best friend I have in the world and the mother of my only grandchild – my grandson is the light of my world as well as the number one joy of it.
Professional Writer
I am a Technical Writer (software manuals and graphics) at my day job. I have two web design articles published at Wise Women – www.wise-women.org. It is a great community of web designers. I’m not a member any more only due to the fact that I am not really doing web design and I have so little time to do anything that I have to spend it doing what is current in my life. Fabulous people who are nice, fun and very intelligent. Great artists, designers and programmers!
Educating the Clueless: How To Be Gods, Goddesses & Gurus Worshipped in the Intranet Work Place
and
Learn Your Design Process
Both are somewhat out-dated now a few years later … yet both are still timely in the fact that it is very important to treat co-workers with respect and dignity when educating them about technology and knowing yourself and how you do things can only help you in any business project.
Art for Sale and Affiliate Marketing
As an artist and graphic designer, I used to sell t-shirts with my paintings, graphic designs and dragonflies at a POD (print on demand) website that I no longer sell them through – I now have my t-shirts with my tribal dragonflies and other art dragonfly designs at my Art Dragonflies by Barbara Burns shop. I have my paintings at my various ImageKind Galleries – the oil paintings, the watercolors, the dragonflies – they sell framed (you can buy them unframed if you want but it is very convenient to buy them already framed in my opinion – I’ve done framing – it is hard work) Fine Art Prints and Posters – they are all linked together so you can travel from the watercolor paintings to the sealife to the spirit to …. all of them very easily. You can see small thumbnail images below of several but not all … go see mine – I hope you like and enjoy enough to buy .. if not … get yourself some wall art from one of the other artists with galleries there – there is artwork for everyone … gothic … flowers … animals … people … fractals … buildings … and a vast array of much more to choose from and the papers used for your print are your choice as well as the framing – yes they do also have canvas for the prints!
I am a member of Share A Sale doing affiliate marketing – that means if you click on my link to my Imagekind Galleries above and then buy some of my Fine Art Prints or buy someone else’s Fine Art Prints – there is a lot of unique gorgeous art available there as well as prints of museum artworks available too – I receive a small commission for you buying from them. I’m making the lemonade and I’m also getting the word out to the neighbors! If you are a merchant and need people to get the word out to the neighbors – contact Share A Sale today to find out how they can help you increase traffic to your online business website full of inventory and you only pay when shoppers purchase your inventory.
