i always love when two of my favorite artists work together. this beautiful new print was designed by the lovely amy ruppel for wayne pate’s good shape design shop. this is the final installment in wayne’s “guest artists” series and is part of a limited edition of 50 prints. lord knows amy’s work moves quickly and this new piece is only $35 so order yours before they’re all gone! the print hits wayne’s shop next week but if you want to beat the rush you can email wayne right here to pre-order. click here for more information on amy ruppel’s work and click here to view wayne’s work with good shape design.

Hey, this is cute. I had to write in because I check this on Bloglines and there are probably 100+ ads for pharmaceuticals attached to the RSS feed. You should check into this ASAP because if it keeps up I know you’ll lose a few readers. I’m not mentioning the name of the medication because I don’t want to further the spamification.

I don’t know if you check your RSS feeds, and I’ve never seen anything like this happen before, but the feed for this post ended with about 3 screens worth of “buy cialis” links. Just thought you’d like to know.

Super cute owl — reminds me of my Grammy, she used to collect owl stuff.

Hi Guys

I’m so sorry for all this spam mess. I promise you it is driving me 10 thousand times more crazy than you can possibly imagine.

We upgraded to the new wordpress (which was no small feat for 6500 posts) but it still seems to be injecting spam via the rss reader- so only those reading D*S through a reader of some type are seeing the spam.

I hired a coder and he’s working around the clock to find the problem- it looks like a database hack so we’re doing our best to clear it out. Thanks for your patience, we’re aware of the problem and are working on it non-stop, I assure you. My entire weekend has been spent looking through files in the database to find any suspicious code or files. Ugh!
