That's AWESOME!!!!!

[lillywmw.livejournal.com]

congratulations, Leela!!And what about you to print a book about your art??It´s about time!

[winnett.livejournal.com]

How cool. Odd that they didn't talk to you first about it...

I've got Twilight on my library holds list. So is that book they were talking about #3 in the series?

[coffee-n-cocoa.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! How awesome is that?

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

You're famous! :D

(Though i wish these newscasts about the show would QUIT with the comparisons with HP.)

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Er, I mean the newscasts about the books - I keep seeing the comparisons between Stephenie Meyers work to JKR's and ... they're totally different. (And I'm biased - I don't think they're nearly as good.)

[alphielj.livejournal.com]

I think they mean that the popularity and the fan followings are similar, not the books themselves. Twilight and HP are WORLDS apart. As much as I love Twilight and Edward and Bella, I think the HP series is much more tricky with hidden secrets and such. More details to get lost in, and that is difficult to keep up for seven books. But I stick with Twilight for the romance! Sure there is romance in HP, but not to the point where Edward is slinging her leg over his hip. SWOON! So, personally, I can love both on different levels for different reasons.

LOL! Hee - see, I just get the feeling that the appeals are a bit different - the Twilight books are more appealing to romance lovers where HP has a broader appeal. Or so it seems to me.

Plus, I full confess I'm very mixed on SM's work. *meeps*

[thmbls-n-brmstx.livejournal.com]

I agree. I hate it just because to me it's just a way to get people to watch a broadcast. "Find out which new novel is giving Harry Potter a run for his money!" Ha ha, but good in this case because more people see the art!

Potter has practically touched every corner of the world, quite a feat in and of itself. It makes it seem less so with easy comparisons such as this.

AWESOME!

[hhhellcat.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I just bought Twilight on a whim -- didn't even know how popular it was. LOL

[girlspell.livejournal.com]

Oh my...that was amazing! Big congratulations. People are just becomming more aware of your art. You have a tremendous talent.

[sirose.livejournal.com]

That is fantastic! :D

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

OMG thats awesome. I have just started reading Twilight - I'm about half way through. Its so good.

[moonsong18.livejournal.com]

Now that is cool Leela. Congratulations!!

[suehypno.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's awesome! I only just recently heard about these books and haven't read them, but I recognized your style in the artwork the moment it appeared in the background. Did they contact you about using your artwork for this report?

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

HP Art Project

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Hey There Leela, I'm taking over for Anita on the HP_art_Project and I just wanted to know if you still wanted to be part of it. I know you've sent one chapter art to Anita (wBook 1 Chapter 1, which I'll need to get from her) however you are also signed up for Chapter 5 - An Excess of Phlegm

I wanted ot know if you still wnated to do the art for that.
To give you an idea of how much time you'd have to do a new work, at this time, I'm looking at the art deadline being around June.

Re: HP Art Project

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Hi Ani! I've just got home (back in Australia)! Yep, I definitely still want to be a part of this. Deadline June 2008?
Feel free to email me leelastarsky [at] gmail [dot] com. :~)

OMG, I'm flailing like mad here Kate because I think it was last Thursday or Friday, that exact story was on the 5 o'clock channel ten news at the end and I though 'Gee, that artwork looks like Kate's' and OMG it IS!
