THE DESTINY MANIFESTO

after some delays the physical book has arrived in chicago,IL and is hitting the store!!!

this is the hardcover


and this is the softcover


i´d prefer the hardcover,because it´s...harder...lol

what is THE DESTINY MANIFESTO, and where can i buy it?


THE DESTINY MANIFESTO is a collaboration between artists in chicago,IL/USA and hamburg/germany. it´s a dream we´ve dreamed for a long time.


i am the "germany" part.
the USA parts are: 
most important- the author Robert Del Rio who contacted me over a year ago via facebook to plan this book. he is writing wonderful poems and wanted my artworx for his book...our book. so i reedited and created some new pieces and send about 50 different artworks to him. also in this book:art by Anthony Lowery and the cover is done by Roshawn Allen of DOPEproductions.

support independent art

if you like to support independent artists and know kickstarter, did you know that only USA residents can start a kickstarter campaign? i know now,because i tryed to make one and i live in germany. that sucks. so i was thinking, how to do a fundraise for my new projects...and i found an app at my homepage .

i am asking for a little help to get an idea out of my head on some canvas. i am planning to create one or some series of  paintings for a real exhibition and so i need canvas, brushes, paint...ect...i am working hard but my budget is small and since i found out that kickstarter is only for people who have an adress in the USA, i am trying to make my own. i will update my creating process on twitter and facebook almost in realtime with a lot of photos of the work in progress. every donation is very much appreciated and will be used only to buy canvas, brushes, paint,etc...

the ideas i have are

1. "the abusive fairy tales"  

2."sunflowerdaggerdreams" 

and 3. "internuts"

but it very much depends on you how many of my ideas will become "real".

 every peanut counts!


if you want and can support me ,please go to my webside and use the pay pal button,
if you want but can´t i just ask you to share this post with as many friends as you can.
i thank you very much

and here is what i did so far, the ideas and the work in progress of this fundraised project:

the sunflowerdaggerdreams idea

the internuts idea

the abusive fairy tales idea...

thank you very much

the destiny manifesto and life

hi friends,

long time no blog...

i am going to be featured in a book...this book will be out

soon, i hope. it´s a wonderful collection of poems written by facebook friend and sp fan (yes that´s important,because we wouldn´t have that deep conversations without the music connection) Robert DelRio.

in this book you´ll see almost all my artworks (at least all i thought i can show public).

i reedited all of them for the book. so you´ll get 50 poems and my art on every page. as much as i know,and that´s not too much, there´ll be one item that´s not mine

the books name is THE MANIFESTO OF DESTINY and i will definitely keep you updated and provide you with links when it´s for sale online.

so...life...art is hard...hahaha. it´s getting better...or at least i´m pretending that it gets better...

i wanna create big paintings but i have no money to buy big canvas, so i have to do this project in my head until i am able to go to the art store. blablabla

i made a shirt design for a band but got no reply if they like it yet...cross your fingers...it would be so cool :)

my twitter is recovering slowly...i have 119 followers now...damn you twitter for suspending my @nataschaartworx account (read post about that).

i also reanimated my zazzle shop and added some new t-shirts and posters...here is the link:http://www.zazzle.de/natascha_artworx

some stuff i made in the last 3 month:

i taped my camera to my easel and recorded myself doing a sketch on canvas.

now you see 30 minutes stuffed into 3,5 minutes…speed painting :)

the music is by the wonderful band COSIO , they broke up but i love theyr album THE CACOPHONIST is one of my favorites.

i used the song “pearls to swine” with permission of the band.

Lyrics:

PEARLS TO SWINE

your neck line is like pearls to swine

in the company of this crowd

without a word you summon me near

by the contours of your back

if your body be braille

i´ll read a novel

and never miss my sight

your love is like milk and honey

unto the wandering israelite

forgive the dirt under findernails

as i kiss the hem of your garment

pay no mind to the lack of refine

no debutante´s love could fair

my lust offends even harlequins

with downward eyes

but your love it stares confidently

into my beguilded face

and the weeping willows echo my cries

the moth he knows my plight

your love is like monarchs mating

and falling to earth in mid-flight

and now i´ll spend some time with my morning coffee...

♥ & peace to all of you

who killed @nataschaartworx ?

(sorry amanda, ich muss mir das mal leihen )

last saturday was like most saturdays...just only one thing: my twitter account @nataschaartworx got suspended.

i logged in and saw this:

ACCOUND SUSPENDED! 

you might ask: why? 

well, i could say: i was a bad girl but honestly...i don´t know.

i contacted twitter and asked them what this is all about on saturday...well, now we have tuesday and i have no reply yet.

i was thinking and thinking...i guess i know what i did wrong now.

i posted a fukushima-related video to my tumblr. after that i got a link from a stranger with the text: 

"see where else radiation hits ... LINK"

...well, my mistake was that i clicked and 

it showed me a titti-i´m-so-hot-site...

i really hate stuff like that and i told the sender to 

...well you can guess ;)

when i wanted to log in the next time my account was suspended, 

all followers und followings to zero, 

no chance to tweet, 

twitpic account with 289 pictures: useless...

two years of networking: gone by one click.

of course i did set up a new account immediately and told some friends what happened. 

now i have sweet 35 followers...623 was my last count on my nataschaartworx account before it was shut down . 

and it makes me mad that they do not reply to me. 

so, i really feel like killed right now. my name is done now, i can´t do a "@natascha_artworx" or something because the box is too small for that one "_"...nataschaartworx did just fit in so right, and now it is gone. i got a new one on twitter now, i literally left out the middle. 

please follow me now on twitter under the name 

@NAT_WORX

love and light and no more anger now...forget this and pray for japan and the planet...our little shit is so meaningless in relation to the massive change the earth is going to see in the next years...our little shit can only help to distract us before we go crazy because we know...

#twitterauction review

hi, i´ve been a lazy writer, i know i know, so now i will write a bit about my last weekend on twitter:

first of all, it was january 8 and i was thinking: damn it, i gotta pay those bills, what do i do to get rid of some artworx for some cents...every cent counts (yes, and if you think:huh? that bad? i´d say: no worse).

so i tweeted that i´d make a spontanious auction of some prints and originals on twitpic from saturday night until sunday night.

it was a test, to see if something like that works. and guess what? it works.

[click on the pictures, it´s  twitpic]

i posted this two hours before i started my ninja twitter auction and posted the rules using #twitterauction

and got rid of some three little prints and one original painting. not for a lot of money, but that is unimportant. the fact is, that i spread my artworx over this planet...as far and wide it gets...maybe one of them will survive the time...if you know what i mean...

ok, i´m drifting away, back to the twitterauction-action: so, because of this personal success i decided to make it REAL with a better preparing and better photos and i posted an event on facebook.

then i uploaded 10 photos and  asked the facebook people to vote for the pictures (with the LIKE button). the 5 photos with the most response where the chosen ones...

this was the shout out:
