Welcome to Art Passions! Art Passions is primarily about artists and illustrators whose works I grew up with. I encourage you to explore this site and learn about the works of Arthur Rackham, Gustave Dore, William Morris, Aubrey Beardsley, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen, Adrienne Segur, Sulamith Wulfing, Warwick Goble, the Preraphaelites and others. Latest: 2008 Calendars: 2008 Calendars. The fairy engagement calendar and William Morris Arts and Crafts Calendar were my choices this year. Confused? Artpassions is just the art (the free online gallery). This page is a little chatty. Other starting points include: Art print / Poster Finder Artpassions Book Listing Artsy Craftsy Free fairy backgrounds Original top of site (visual) (pre-sitemap). Site Map Search by keyword General Site Layout Art Passions (you are here): General introduction and orientation to the site, art gallery and descriptive index, e-postcards (or send from any display page), a few online books, and especially the Frequently Asked Questions. Site map (but also see visual contents section on this page) and links to resources for: books, posters and artprints, calendars when in season, out-of-print booksearch tool, web design resources, and web design portfolio. Personal pages: Monet's Garden at Giverny (has a java slideshow of how the garden looks now that I did for a class, How to color Ukrainian eggs, the cats' homepage, Psychology of Religion, personal and other practical matters. Forum: The forum is gone, due to taking up too much bandwidth and disk space. Please don't strip the site (download all the pictures at once) - it taxes the server unnecessarily. I am sorry about the forum; not all of the links to the forum are gone yet but will be. This will give me the additional disk space to put up more art. What Else is Here... It's more than just a gallery. Artists: Some artpassions visitors who are also artists show some of their work here. E-cards: While you are here, you can send a friend an electronic postcard. Click on any gallery image to send it as an e-postcard to a friend. Questions? I may have answered it in the FAQ. If not, you can write to me using the link at the bottom of this page. I can't really help you appraise art by these artists, or write a term paper that's due tomorrow morning. Resources: I try to keep Art Passions as non-commercial as possible so whatever resources I have for finding books or posters by these artists are listed in the FAQ, on the Books by Artist, or Prints by Artist resources pages. More and different prints are available at Artsy Craftsy. Art and accent tiles by these artists will eventually be available at William Morris Tile. Viewing the images: I have put almost all of the images up so they can be viewed with a browser. Most of these art images are .jpg and .gif files and range in size from 400 to 800 pixels wide. There may be one or two .png format images. The images are scanned in at high resolution and resized and optimized for the best possible presentation on the web. They don't have the resolution for high-quality printing. News!: For a few years now, I have not been able much in the way of new images due to hotlinking of images (explained in the FAQ and have even had to remove some of the most popular victims of hotlinks. However, I think I have solved this, so you will find me adding more art and artists now. I'm really happy about this. Suggestions: Where I know of historical sites on the artist, I have linked to those. If I have missed a great site, please suggest a resource. I really value your comments and feedback. What else? Warwick Goble, and more Celtic art that shows some of the tales that my Great Aunt Sadie used to tell (Sadie changed them every time she told them.) There are already abundant fairies and fairy tales. Problems: Sometimes things go down, sometimes I am working on an area of the site and it's offline. So if an artist you are looking for is suddenly not available, check back in a day or two. Please do not webstrip the site. It makes me have a bad day. Copyright questions? You can find the current state of this issue on the Frequently Asked Questions page.
