To Facebook or not to Facebook

-
Well, it has been a busy week at CarlaDaly.com and CarlaDaly.co.uk which is great for business but creatively it has been slow. I have employed a search engine optimization company to work on my CarlaDaly.com site, they only started yesterday, so I am crossing my fingers!

The only other thing I did of significance this week was deactivate my Facebook account. I have been thinking about this for a while but could not bring myself to press that deactivate button! Well finally I pulled the plug on Tuesday evening, I was really sick of logging in and looking at photo's of people I really didn't know. The only downside to this is that my Facebook page promoting my business has gone, but I want to focus on my blog and my twittering and wasting time on Facebook just wasn't helping me. So a cheer for my liberation from Facebook!

Funny, I found this article on the web just after I posted this article, I think it is relevant don't you? Social Networking Myths

    Good for you Carla for staying committed to doing what you can for your business and having the courage to pull that "facebook" plug. I totally understand & appreciate your feelings. We artists have to do what we have to do...

    Hi Betsy,

    I know, it took a lot of courage to pull the plug! I am feeling very liberated ;-)

Illustrated map of Canada It has taken me ages and I am still not finished! I am really enjoying illustrating this map of Canada, but need a little break from maps! I have illustrated it with the cities and the towns of the different states. Then I have added the animals from the region. I hope to have it finished in the next week, I will post the final image when it is completed. Hope you like it!

Kids Map Of The UK & Ireland

Kids Map of the UK & Ireland (unfinished) I have decided to do a range of wall maps of different countries. I finished my USA map and am now starting the UK & Ireland. I have found that I really like illustrating maps! Also, I am not illustrating them in my usual hand drawn/painted way, I do hand draw all the animals and map outlines but then scann them onto my computer. I then colour them in on the computer and place them on the map, the text is then added, simple as that! Well, not that simple, it really takes my a long time, but I hope you think it is worth it. I am going to get samples printed, when I have approved them they will be printed and ready to buy, I will keep you posted!
