I was extremely honored when Lilia from Vox and Six Apart contacted me requesting permission to use my Design To Inspire banners for Vox, LiveJournal, and Typepad. Honestly, upon entering my submissions I had the full intention of releasing any of my submitted banners that did not win the contest to the Vox community, so their request made me extremely happy. I'm glad the team liked my designs enough to use them. I hope all Vox, LiveJournal and Typepad users enjoy my designs, as well as any designs from the Design To Inspire contest that Six Apart may release in the future. I look forward to seeing what additional themes resulting from this contest will be released in the coming months. In the interim I'm going to enjoy switching between the various Vox themes introduced within the past month, and may even use some designed by me!
Yes, I know I haven't been too active lately. I just haven't been able to focus artistically. Hopefully this will change soon.
My activity on Vox via my numerous Vox accounts (i.e. my primary account and my private, tertiary account) has been limited lately mainly due to writer's and artist's block, which I explain in detail here. However, my most recent artistic creations focussed on Vox's former Valentine's Day banner contest. I created two banner designs available in a wide assortment of color schemes. These banners, several of which can be viewed here, are available for use by the Vox community. Please credit "ensue.vox.com" (in the description field) when using my banners.
