Update 01-08-2022: I received my dA calendars yesterday and I see why I reorder calendars from them. The quality of the paper and the crispness and colors of the images are reasons enough to order them from dA. I was very pleased and quite impressed. My mother-in-law got hers and told me she thought it was gorgeous.


I also ordered one from Zazzle, and that, too, was top-notch. I wouldn't hesitate to order them again, from dA and/or Zazzle. For people who might want to order one, Zazzle often has great sales which can save you between 25% and 70%. Here's the link to the Zazzle Calendar with the January pic on Cover: https://www.zazzle.com/fractal_spirals_by_wolfepaw_calendar_january_cvr-158128255372393800. Here is the link to the calendar with the image collage on the front, and Thank You and my dA gallery info text on the back on an image of a wood panel: https://www.zazzle.com/fractal_spirals_by_wolfepaw_calendar-158564696024789989


Well, I finally heard from dA about my errant Calendar orders. It seems that 4 of the 5 orders have been delivered. They even supplied me with the tracking information, which is what they should do when they notify someone that their order has shipped. It seems the only order missing is the order for 5 calendars to be shipped to me. But, it is close. It was delivered to Jackson, MS today. So, it should be to me by early next week at the latest.


Although I'm thrilled that my orders are actually getting delivered, they could have saved me a lot of angst if they had just provided the Tracking Info when they emailed me that they had shipped.


So, thank you, dA support. You gave me what I asked for. Happy New Year!

Deviantart is really beginning to piss me off bad. I ordered a bunch of my 2022 fractal calendars to send for presents. Over $200.00 worth (half of that is for calendars I ordered for myself to give to people at work or friends). There is no Shipping info (other than an email saying they have shipped the item), no Tracking info, and so far as I know, none of the calendars have been received by anyone I sent them to. It's been almost a month for one of the orders, the others, it's been about 3 weeks and still no calendars. I have submitted Help request 3 times about this and have had no response whatsoever. Has anybody had a similar issue to mine with dA? I have threatened to ask for a refund, but even that hasn't budged them at all. Is anybody even there to answer questions. What used to be a good place to post my art has turned into a place to put your art and leave it there for nothing to happen.

I have joined ArtStation based on an article that said that dA has lost a lot of the energy and engagement it used to have and that ArtStation was an alternative. Well, it may be, but the website is not easy to set up and I don't see any help or explanation of how to set up your site.

It's a shame about dA. I've been on here since 2007 and I have over 2000 images posted here. But, if they aren't going to be more responsive to requests and questions or troubleshooting, then what good are they?


Has anyone had better luck with getting help from dA? I am really not happy about this at all. I either want my calendars or I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got another email surprise this past Saturday (10-09-2021) from Jessica Frank, the Sun Lady from the CBS Sunday Morning Show. She was writing to tell me that another one of my fractal suns was going to be used at the end of a Seth Doane interview of Billy Porter (whose 2019 Met Gala outfit was an absolute stunner!) Here is the link to the interview if you're interested in seeing it. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/billy-porter-dream-the-impossible-because-the-impossible-is-possible/


Below is a collage of the 6 fractal suns that have been used on the CBS Sunday Morning show 11 separate times! I am so thrilled. Even though there is no credit or mention of the artist, it's still tickles me to see my art on a national TV show.

CBS Sunday Morning Suns Collage w text 10-10-2021

Below is the latest fractal sun that they used. It's one of my favorites!

Sun Flare prntscrn

I have sent Jessica several suns, so I'm hoping there are more suns on the show to come.


I have so many JWildfire params for suns, and also roses (since I am always in search of the perfect fractal rose), I'm thinking of doing a Suns and Roses JWildfire flamepack. Anyone interested in that?


Shown below is my latest attempt at the perfect fractal rose:

Another Fractal Rose

I hope all are well and hopefully close to resuming a normal life. This last almost 2 years has been surreal and has caused many of us to change the way we live and what we value the most. I just wish it normal could come sooner rather than later.


Also, I want to give a shout out to https://www.deviantart.com/takamore. Paul is a talented individual who makes one of a kind wooden puzzles. He contacted me awhile back asking if he could use my art on his puzzles. He would send me a free puzzle of my art if I agreed. So, I said "Sure". So he sent me a puzzle (they are deceptively difficult to do) of one of my UF Fractals (pic below).

Then he got so many requests from his followers (he's on Instagram, @puzzledbypaul) to do more fractal puzzles, he bought one of my calendars and used images from that. He also said if this keeps up, he would give me a 10% commission on any puzzles with my art and/or send me puzzles. I recently wanted to purchase a puzzle for Jessica Frank of CBS Sunday Morning as a small gift to thank her for shooing my suns to use on the show. She's super nice and I have been conversing with here since December 2018.


Here is a shot of the puzzle I got for Jessica. This is a sun she specifically asked me to submit for the show. She saw it on the Fans of CBS Sunday Morning FB page and really loved it. She has used it 2 times. If you look closely you can see the shapes of the pieces are unusual and make this puzzle really hard to do.

Well, that's all for now. I guess I've tooted my own horn long enough. I hope all my dA friends are doing well and still creating beautiful art!

Well, wasn't really planning on doing much for the 4th of July. Just relaxing at home. But, I just got a 4th of July present worth celebrating. I just heard from Jessica Frank, the Sun Lady for the CBS Sunday Morning Show, saying they are using another one of my fractal suns on CBS Sunday Morning. Here's what she said.

Hi, Peggi -- I wanted to let you know that another of your gorgeous sun creations will be on the show tomorrow. This one is coming out of a Tracy Smith interview with Quentin Tarentino, and it looks like it was absolutely made to order.

Thanks, as always, for your contributions to our show.

Have a good Fourth!

Jessica Frank CBS Sunday Morning

I'm so thrilled she seems to like my art. Happy 4th of July to me! And a very Happy July the 4th to all my dA friends!


Here's the sun they used.
