• Did you know that Goldfish lose their color if kept in dim light. Similar to humans, they need sunlight to keep their pigment.
• Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as to any other color.
• Schizochromatic (what a mouthful!) is a term meaning that an animal does not have a color that it normally would have.
• If a creature is xanthochromatic then it had more yellow in it than normal.
I am Swamped again with Pet Portrait orders! I just proofed this adorable Puggie.
Today I will try very hard to proof 3 clients. I usually spend a couple of hours of painting on each portrait before I provide my first proofing round. Before I even sit down to add in color and brush strokes I usually have spent at least 30 minutes optimizing the photograph and erasing the background. For a traditional oil painter 2 and half hours may seem super fast however you have to also factor in the possible additional time I could spend reproofing and tweaking one of the provided proofs and then the production time of printing and stretching the canvases. I would guess that an average project can take me anywhere between 5 and 8 hours total. I do like to work in a bit of a production style meaning that yes today I will get to do the fun creative work of playing with color on 3 pet projects. Monday I spent the entire morning optimizing several photos and organizing new orders. If I can proof 3 clients today and 3 clients tomorrow I will start to feel caught up on my painting work.
If you are a new pet portrait artist just starting out you may think that 6 projects in one week sounds pretty overwhelming. The reality is that if you plan to make a full time income on pet portraiture you will have to become very efficient with your time. Or, you can also go the high end route of charging thousands for your work and then you can indeed have the luxury of lingering for weeks on one project. Too often however people are impatient and even if you have the time to spend weeks and months on one single portrait, it is the rare client that really wants to wait that long.
So now, I take a 15 minute break in between projects to rest my eyes, recharge and maybe even do a load of laundry.
If you are interested in ordering a portrait check out my main site artpaw.com and order on-line today.
If you want to take a class check out my schedule, I have a workshop in April!
Today I updated sweet happy Kota. My client asked for tame colors similar to her original photo, however after showing her around 15 tame options she indicated that she might want to see more color on Kota. I was more than happy to go back in and add more color, all of my clients get one set of free changes if they are needed. In this video today I talk about my proofing terms and you can see me working a little bit in Photoshop adding some additional color and brush strokes. I also discuss the difference in how traditional painters working in oils or acrylics usually provide proofing and the flexibility that Photoshop allows us.
I am very excited to be launching my new pet portrait blog where I will be sharing tutorials and a behind the scenes glimpse into my world of full time pet portraiture. I will be posting tutorials, videos and works in progress. I am Rebecca Collins and I run the portraiture studio artpaw.com. The cutie pie on this post is Belle, and this work was created during my busy holiday season. Last year I create over 200 pet portraits and this year I want to keep those numbers strong while also branching off into teaching my skills to others.
Sometimes I do worry that in sharing my knowledge with other artists I am just training my competition to steal my business and yet at the end of the day I know that there is plenty of work to go around. It is my hope that other artists will take my tips and then put their own unique spin on pet portraiture, raising the bar for us all.

You may have heard about “black hat” SEO tactics. Essentially, these tactics take advantage of the traditional use of keywords and key phrases and warps them through different techniques that are often called “keyword stuffing”. In essence, black hat techniques violate the spirit in of the current system.
For several years Google has been focusing much of their effort to eliminating black hat SEO techniques. With so much literature pouring out about how such tricks are being dealt with, it may surprise you to know that not only are black hat SEO still around, but they are still alive and working for thousands of online business owners this year.
The reason why black hat tactics are still being used is a simple one. They still generate a great deal of sales. You see it in the blogs, forums and other places where marketers who use these techniques tell the world that sales are still pouring into their websites. Even the efforts of the vaunted Google Penguin which highlights the online businesses that use such tactics, the money they generate keeps pouring in not because of their ranking, but because every time such tactics get used the sales increase or the leads come in by the bushel.
Amazingly enough, there are still many websites using black hat techniques that still have high rankings even with their bad profiles. The new algorithms sported by Google are still not good enough to catch all of these businesses. For the past year, Google has focused the efforts of their spam team and associated contractors to check forums used by black hat online business and other places in order to see what SEO tactics they are using and eliminate them. This is one reason why the blog networks which was a haven for black hat businesses was caught.
However, despite all of their efforts and Google changing their algorithms to throw off these black hat tactics, it still is not enough. Negative SEO is still around although Google incorporated RankBrain and black hat SEO, for all of its connotations, still works in selling products. You can always use disavow links tool to ignore bad links pointing to your website.
Why exactly is a webpage that contains bad backlinks can still be ranked so highly in today’s internet world?
There is no simple answer to that question since there are many reasons why it continues to be true.
Unfortunately, too many online business owners who attempt black hat tactics do so poorly and get caught easily. One of blackhat SEO is called wikipedia injection. As soon as those large SEO websites post an article, right away they inject their link on wikipedia to keep their ranking stable. Just check seo related posts on wikipedia, there are a lot of websites from small to large ones injected their links there. Wikipedia’s consultants are not doing their job right to remove them. so these black hat seo still is a trend among SEOs. These SEO companies keep monitoring their links on wikipedia so as soon as one removes their links, they replace them.
One example is if you have a forum or guest blog, your first instinct would be to spread that to the most popular forums or WordPress commenting sections because all WordPress bloggers will see your ad when they want to publish their articles. This is how many marketers land a large number of sales in a single night I am talking about spreading over 2 million or more sites. There are more ways of landing sales. I would recommend using Google Adwords PPC and Facebook advertising. Because you’re playing your cards right and if you use the right PPC ad management strategies, you will generate leads and sales. As forum posting, I am not suggesting to use this blackhat tactic because it will hurt your website’s ranking, and it won’t work but from sales perspective large niche forum posting helps with sales if it is done right. Blog commenting is another way of driving in sales, but if you want to use it for black hat SEO then this also won’t help with ranking anymore.
Bottom line, black hat SEO can get your website banned and it’s not worth it. Remember! It’s not about ranking, its about getting more targeted people see your products or services and buy from you. This is why you should use whitehat SEO, paid advertisement and social media marketing strategies. If you run an ecommerce website, use influencer marketing strategies to get more love to your products and services.

When it comes to shopping for pants I usually play it very safe, especially for work. Skinny, high waisted, and dark. But this time around I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and really push my fashion boundaries.
I used to think that only Gwen Stefani during her No Doubt days could rock some checked pants. But once I tried these on, I felt Hella Good and told myself I would stop Running away from printed bottoms. Checkered pants are definitely a statement piece for your closet. From a rocker chick look to a professional outfit, they add fun and unique flair to any look while still keeping it classy.

UI's attorney worried he won't be able to present "an adequate defense" in the 10 days originally planned for the trial; judge's availability limited.
A second discrimination trial against the University of Iowa may not begin June 5 as originally scheduled.
District Court Judge Eliza Ovrom notified attorneys Monday that she has limited availability in her schedule for the week of June 19 if former Hawkeye field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum's civil lawsuit lasts that long. Ovrom said the original start date was determined after lawyers told her two weeks would be enough.
Griesbaum's attorneys, Thomas Newkirk and Jill Zwagerman, responded Tuesday that they still believe two weeks is sufficient for the trial, but that if it does spill into a third week, they're agreeable to a brief delay before it resumes. The pair also represented Jane Meyer, whose civil lawsuit against Iowa recently concluded after 14 days in court with the jury awarding their client $1.43 million in damages.
The Associated Press reported that assistant attorney general George Carroll, representing the university, filed a motion Tuesday seeking to push back the trial.
Carroll wrote that the university "will not be able to present an adequate defense" in the 10-day period originally envisioned.
It's expected that the judge will rule on the trial date this week.
Newkirk and Zwagerman asked that, if the trial date is moved, that it begin July 10 instead "to ensure that witnesses are able to attend." They pointed out that an autumn trial would cause hardship because many of the witnesses are coaches, administrators or students involved in college sports.
Griesbaum was fired by Iowa in August 2014 and is claiming gender and sexual orientation discrimination, as well as retaliation. Those are similar to the claims made by Meyer, who is Griesbaum's partner and was the Hawkeyes' senior associate athletic director from 2001-14.

Why have you been at Arnold Clark for 10 years?I started part time when I was at university. Then, I decided to buy a house the minute I turned 18 and realised I needed a bit more money. I supported myself through uni and decided to stay on with Arnold Clark because I liked the people and the atmosphere and I could see that there was plenty of room for me to develop.
What was your first job in the automotive industry? At the time, I did a bit of everything. The warehousing side of things, goods in, goods out, quality control, driving – I was a van coordinator for a while as well, overseeing 25 drivers. I also worked in the office dealing with Ford customers over the phone.
What does your current role involve?I’ve been working towards building a new training platform for all Parts staff, where I really want them to continue training, not because they have to but because they want to; knowing that they can better themselves. There’s nothing worse than being on a course and you just sit there falling asleep waiting to leave and the highlight of it is getting your lunch! I don’t want it to be like that for my team. Essentially, it’s writing and delivering training courses. Creating new materials. Getting out and about, talking to people, seeing what they’re doing, what they need, and what the business needs are and making it all go hand in hand.
What are the most challenging aspects of your job?Being patient, to be honest. That’s not just in the current role, but me in general. I like to get stuck into everything that I do and do it well. Understanding that other people and processes might not move at the speed that I’d like but I know in the end we get there, one way or another. To a degree that’s probably been part of my earlier days when I first became a Parts manager and managing my own frustrations, so definitely one of my earlier challenges as well.
Would you recommend working at Arnold Clark to others?Yes, naturally. Once you realise the width, depth and scale of the company, then you’ve got a career for life, doing whatever you want to do. A lot of people don’t know the truth about the motor trade. They think it’s a dirty, male-orientated, hands-on environment, whereas in actual fact it’s very business orientated, very financial and a lot of IT skills are needed. It also involves a lot of customer-facing work. If there was better awareness of it, a lot more people will realise there’s a great career to be had.
