This is the story of how I found an artist on deviantART and bought her art work in a small town the next day unexpectedly.

For the past week I have been in a small town in British Columbia called Creston. A truely excellent man passed away last month and the family has come together to celebrate his life. I arrived on Tuesday evening.

Upon arriving I was messing around on my media device and did a search on Google for, "deviantart creston BC" just to see if there was any local deviants. One of the results was ~vashley. I looked around her gallery briefly for about 10 minutes and went to bed.

The next day my mother and I took a walk down main street. She was looking for a consignment shop that she had heard about from my cousin's wife who supplies some childrens clothing to the outlet. In the front of the store is a smattering of clothing articles and at the back 5 or 6 wedding dresses. As my mother shopped for yesterday's fashion I happened upon a display case which had some art prints. My jaw dropped a little bit. There in the case was something I had seen on dA the night before. A print of, "Space Rooster" by ~vashley



I asked the owner about it and learned a little bit more about the artist (well not much... just enough to drop 25 bucks for the print).

I think I'll hang it in my kitchen when I get home. Thanks for the art work ~vashley! It's a shame I didn't get to meet you! Drop me a line next time you log in.
