Hi my dear friends!  :wave:

As many of our friends are now aware, we launched our first self-published book on Friday (22/11/13); more information can be found here:

Exciting news, first book publication!Hello my dear friends!
Well, as some of you are aware, I have been working on a project for the past several weeks, and I've been very quiet, about exactly what it was I was working on, and with whom :)
This project has taken alot of our time to setup, and also been alot of fun to work on :boogie:
Well...today's the day we can tell you all, what we have been up to! :heart:
Myself and WalkinginDreamlight :iconwalkingindreamlight: have today, self-published our very first book! :heart:
What started several weeks ago as an idea, has now become a dream (we are both very much still reeling from the fact that it's viewable on Amazon.com as an ebook) :faint:
It all feels very surreal, like we are living within a dream... :faint:
The book is called: Mandala Poems.
This is what the book's front cover looks like:  

We decided to go with Amazon.


This new journal, is to let you all know that we have done a BIG price drop to encourage new sales for the ebook. So if you wish to have a bargain, and read the book for yourself, grab a hold of this sale with both hands, and don't let go! :heart:

It all feels very surreal, like we are living within a dream... :faint:

The book is called: Mandala Poems.

This is what the book's front cover looks like:  


We decided to go with Amazon.com because this is the biggest worldwide publisher of ebooks, and has lots of cool features: like reviews, and star ratings, etc...but more importantly, it will reach the most customers, worldwide.

The actual ebook can be found here: Mandala Poems

The book comprises of 20 poems and 20 illustrated mandala's. WalkinginDreamlight has such a unique gift of creating emotive and very beautiful poems, that perfectly fit the mandala's. :heart:

The ebook will be sold exclusively via Amazon.

We would also like to let you know that a paperback copy is also available, exclusively, through a Netherlands retailer called www.bol.com (a browser translation option should open for you, when you visit the page) - here is the link for the paperback copy of our book: Mandala Poems

They do ship to the rest of the world - so if you'd like a physical copy of the book. We'll provide all of the order details as soon as we can :heart:

Now then, we had so much fun writing and illustrating this book, that when it came to deciding who to dedicate the book too...there were the obvious, family members, and best friend dedications.

But also another group of people...all of our friends on DA - our very first book is dedicated to all of the wonderful artist's that we have met here. All of you! :heart:

For without you, and word of mouth, and fav's and comments, and watch's, myself and WalkinginDreamlight, may never have met, and have the opportunity to make this dream real.

So a very  BIG dedication to all of the lovely and wonderfully talented people, that we know here.

This book is for you :hug:

Now, only one thing left to say:

Go out and buy it! :D

PS - it will make a lovely Christmas gift for someone ;)

This was my entry: The Art of learning Spells by FractalBee
I'm really happy with that, because the picture is mostly built around mandala structures. I try to explore new ways to use mandala's in fantasy art.

I started commissions here on dA for those who want a name-mandala (for your friend, wife, husband, grandpa, nephew, etc.), a theme-mandala (like love, or health or eastern etc.) or something else, like a mandala with zodiac sign or other embellishments.
It's also suitable as a baby born gift with the name of the newborn baby inside!

Finally , I managed to finish all the belated comments on the :+fav:'s!  :iconbummy1:

And: I made my first sell here on dA: :w00t:
This is it:   Birthday Present for Jenny by FractalBee

Last but not least, I have changed the skin of my gallery folders. I absolutely  :love: dark-grey or black backgrounds for my art. I also use something like that in my portfolio.

So, then there is the to-do list:
- change my profile because spring and easter are coming up
- there have been some name-changes, I will make mandala's for them as a belated gift
- make a poll

AND NOW: FEATURE FEATURE FEATURE FEATURE FEATURE!  :dalove:
I will include many friends and new watchers and some other :+fav:'s.
I will update this journal with MORE features, because I have so many and when  I notify you ALL in persona, the system will think that I'm spamming.
Here comes the first part, so please sit back and enjoy!!

Of course, I will start with our friend, who passed away. He will be not forgotten.

:iconrumor-the-mirage: SurrenderAll in the brief hours of a single cold night
The angel boy goes down without putting up a fight
Throughout the whole time
Mulyan makes not a single chime
Gabriel drowned by his past
Was barely even trying to last
Before made an angel he was a kooksville boy
He would go all around pretending he had joy
He, the mistaken killer
His brother dead in the freezer
Then a wild boy came and made him the angel
With a boyhood pact that turned out to be evil
The boy from the forest who called himself Finnigan
Would never take life with a mulligan
Then came along a newly made partner
Gabriel's dog named Surrender
The old frenzied pyro would leave people in denial
With flames building up for a mile
With everyone distracted by Finnigan's flames
He found himself gaining fame
When there was nothing left to burn
The beauty of the fire was all Gabriel could learn
Until the day Evangeline drew near
Then her name was all he ever wanted to hear
Knowing this drove Finnigan mad
And he became all but glad
He w
Fifty LikesHave you ever thought that we like use the word too much
We should like tone it down just a bit
We use it like fifty thousand times a day
And like maybe even more
It's like so annoying
That we say "like" so often
It's like we don't know what else to say
Like when will people stop using it the wrong way
We need to like stop replacing words with it
If I haven't like made my point yet
Then like keep reading
'Cause this is like insane
Just how much longer are we going to like keep this up
So many people are like driven crazy by it
So like do the world a favor
And like stop using it so much
It's like a worldwide necessity
To use it in like every sentence we say
Like seriously
Do we really have to like say it all the time
As annoying as this probably is
This is like a really annoying lesson to like teach people about how we use it
I just want to say that it's like ridiculous by now
My point is like so long
But it's like so necessary to point it out
It's irresistible to like make my point
