Get Promotional Art Services from Ave Hurley ~!

I work online continually and have been doing Art Promotionals and Advertising, for over 3 years selling my own artworks online.

When I was approached for promotional services, the cheapest promoter I found online was $395 for just an annual ad listing and some tag words and then Dunne & Bradstreet has a promo pack for $895 a year for little more in actual tangible services.

When I talked with their sales rep and he asked what I am doing in the ways of promoting my art online, he was astounded and told me that I should be working for them!!
He said that I actually do more in art promotions than they do~!!

So I decided that since I do it for myself and have succeeded in self promotion and now with all that I learned, I am willing to do it now for other artists,who need help in getting better known online.

I am an artist first and built my site customized for art promotions and sales & have free resources and tools for any artists to self promote their work, but for those who need help in promotions or need an editor, it normally costs $895 a year from places like Dunn & Bradstreet [ to which I am also a registered member} to receive similar services

I can provide my services to you for only $5 to start for the first month & only $7.50 per month there after for as long as you want ~ Even when my service prices go up in the future, you will continue to receive services at this agreed price~!!
No catchs, no crazy contracts and doubletalk~ Fully refundable if not satisfied ~!

I am just an artist like you but am helping other artists online to get ahead~!
There is so much talent out there and so many artists deserve more recognition and exposure online but simply do not know how or who to trust online and many like I was dont know where to get started.

I have done my research and homework on this and now am prepared and able to help promote any artist who needs help, but since it is very time consuming - at least 10 hours a month, to do YOUR personalized service and all I am asking is this very nominal amount, to simply help offset some of my internet time and costs.


I just happen to know alot more about online marketing than most artists and have more computer skills focused on art promotions than most artists you may know. I have now been helping many other artists to be able to get established online and I can personally help you, even with tech support and am an email away, as well as phone call 602-539-4053 , when you need to talk about your online art needs~!


Subscribing to my services is making me your promotional agent [in a limited capacity according to your permission] to act on your behalf, to help promote your art and to get you known online and to direct traffic to your art on any sites you belong to, for as long as you want ~!
I will even make permalink adsites for you in search engines that will be easily found in major search engines to remain, even if you cancel my services at any time you want to.

Thankyou and best of success to you in selling your art online~!

New Squidoo lenses I made

My Squidoo lens is made for my member artists in my network. This lens features 3 artists who excel in southwestern style artworks and I found their work impressive and hope you do too.

There are now over 2100 pictures on Ave Hurley Illustrations - Featured Artists Network and along with my own work which I hope you will visit and enjoy, I take pleasure in showing and promoting my fellow artists and think that when you need to take a moment's break online, that it can be a great stress reliever just stopping by my network and viewing some art from around the world~ Some that are from emerging artists that you can actually contact directly and talk about their art and how it makes you feel.

You can also find artists there that along with myself, take on commissioned jobs at prices that will surprise you~ Whether you want a pencil portrait by Murphy Elliott or a mural by Preston Shuttlesworth or myself, there are many things to see.

I do my own custom printing of my artworks and you can benefit by being able to buy original prints that I make, hand sign and send a Certificate of Authenticity along with and I have to admit, I keep these prints in very small circulation, some have yet to be printed for the first time ever and none will be printed passed 25 copies ever~ I want to keep it fresh and rare.

Have a great week and know that you are welcome any time at my network and you dont have to be an artist to belong.

Flea Drops Kill Cats~! Art Fundraiser for lucky survivor~

I NEED TO HAVE A FUNDRAISER SO YOU CAN OBTAIN ANY ART OR SERVICES
FOR ANY DONATION, YOU WILL RECEIVE GIFTS THAT WILL EXCEED THE VALUE
OF YOUR DONATION~!! SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS & THANKYOU~!


Accidental Cat Poisoning Its flea and tick season. My dogs
already got fleas and brought them into the house. My cat , who
never goes out, caught the fleas and was itching terribly to get
them off and spreading them as she went from room to room. I found
her on top of my bed and saw 3-4 fleas hop off so I caught and
killed them immediately.



Then I went to get the dog's flea drop medication and took a small
amount of drops and put them on my cats neck, thinking I was
helping her to get rid of the fleas.



3 hours later she was writhing in pain seizing and convulsing,
foaming at the mouth!I went to pick her up, she bolted and ran into
things crashing her body all over the house and ran into the
bathroom. My son came and caught her and we placed her into a cage
and began calling vets in our area.



Our regular vet was out of town and it was night. One vet called
back and arranged for his tech to meet us at his office and she
began the treatment to try to and save my poor little cat. She is
still going to remain in the hospital til she recovers enough to
come home.



I am not a wealthy person. I live on disability in my small rented
farm house. I work on line, mostly for free helping others since I
am disabled and can not work a regular job.



I have been focusing on my art and trying to establish myself on
the internet with art sales for the last two years now. I began my
business with no money so every cent I have made to date has gone
back into art and online endeavours - paying for shops, auctions,
internet fees and computer repairs as well as art supplies and
printing supplies and needed equipment for my business to grow.



I live very modestly at this point in time since I have no sponsors
or investors in my art business presently.



If any of you who read this are sympathetic to cats as pets and can
afford to assist me in paying my for the emergency care my cat is
undergoing I am going to make a special postcard sale that will go
to funding my cats treatment since this will be very expensive and
she will need follow up care.



Also any donations will be appreciated and used for that as
well.



I am joining with other organizations in making others aware of the
dangers of flea drops on cats.



To think I only used 2 drops and it was devastating to her!
Thankyou~! Ave

I HAVE LOTS OF Art Prints & cards for sale, BUT LITTLE time left as MONEY used for this VET BILL HAD TO BE PAID IMMEDIATELY, THUS I substituted MY RENT MONEY to obtain my cat's release form the animal hospital as they wouldnt do payments & would have kept her charging additional money for board daily, so I needed to lay out money that was supposed to go to my landlord this week, so I am short terribly as I live on a fixed income, so am gladly letting my art go for this need.

Seems I have put off going public with my artwork for decades since the accident.I was doing so well when I was young and always busy. Then when I became an adult, I wanted to try other things and worked on Wall St., doing clerical stock work.Then I went on to trying import/export and other clerical jobs, doing my artwork on the side.

When I began having my children, I found less time to do my art, so only worked on referrals from friends, family and employers. I got busier despite keeping low key. Then I finally gave up the office work and opened a store on Staten Island. I was going to save money by not having to pay for babysitters since I could keep the kids with me while I painted.

I got busy with sign work, which took about 40% of the time alloted for art.My competitors offered me a deal to work with and through them so I considered it.

Then there was the accident.. a date to never forget May 14th 1984 As I went through the glass window, I panicked and pulled back. That was it. I severed everything important in my right hand- nerves, tendons, muscle. It hung backwards by a thread. My career ended abruptly.

Within weeks, I lost my store, my home and then my possessions. I had the initial surgery on Staten Island by an incompetent doctor who oversaw a resident. I was left with claw hand deformity and no use of my hand. Within 4 months I hit bottom and lived the next 14 months on and off in rented rooms and shelters with my 3 young children. I left their father as well after becoming pregnant with my 4th child and still being homeless.

All the things I managed to save to storage were later stolen from me. While in one shelter I was referred to a hand specialist in Philadelphia at the Graduate Hospital. I went to see Dr.Lee. He operated and restored 15% of my hand usage back. I later moved upstate NY with my children and found other means to support myself and family while I tried to learn to paint again , taping a brush to my hand and seeing what I could do best. I basically took longer and had real difficulty in doing details so I opted for more impressionistic pieces, but wasnt satisfied, so I persisted in detailing, although it took longer and required numerous corrections.

After moving again to northern Pennsylvania, I hurt my back and the doctor I met was also a hand specialist. Who would have thought that in the middle of no where, there'd be a microsurgeon with a heart!

Dr. Robert Supinksi was curious about my hand. He offered to operate and restored 50% of its usage after 6 years of misery since the accident.

I began painting and drawing more and more , getting to the point where I made gifts and did a few commissions. I seemed to do better with sign work, so did mostly that. I also was able to begin doing better pen & inks so I began small drawings of peoples homes and businesses.

Bartering is a way of life in the country here, so I began bartering my services for things I needed for my children. Funny that I used to make $75 an hour in NYC painting years earlier and now I was sign painting for store credits....Still it helped.

In 2005 I began helping a church on a scenery project for an upcoming Christmas play that was to raise food surplus for the twin tier food banks and provide food baskets to the needy for Christmas. It was a big production with 2 story sets and many actors and singers, very taxing, requiring many hours over the ensuing weeks. It was successful.

Shortly after, my hand began to ache. I went to a hand specialist and found after 21 years, nerve regeneration was occurring~ Miraculous to say the least, since in 1990 when I had my last of 3 surgeries I was told it would never get any better than it was.

Now I am painting, drawing and selling my artwork as life seems to be beginning over for me after turning 50~ I am single again and my children are all grown and I have 9 grandchildren with 2 more on the way.

My youngest daughter gave me her computer when she got married last year. I began learning to use the digital art programs and now have been painting in both acrlics and digitally online and combining the media in creating new paintings. I then learned printing processes to create high resolution quality prints and purchased 2 wide format printers and 3 photosmart models.

I joined Ebay and Etsy and various art posting sites and have been selling original paintings and original digital paintings that are giclee printings.

My work has improved in leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and in particularly over the passed year.

I hope you view my illustrations and that you like them.

I give God all the thanks for the restoration of my withered hand! Although it hurts, I'd rather that than the numbness & clumsiness of use I endured for years.
