Many artists find the greatest benefit in joining EBSQ is its rich community atmosphere. Our private (and advertising-free) message boards boast over 7200 registered artist members and site patrons, many of whom are active on a daily basis. While the larger portion of our forum is paid artist members-only access, a section is open to the public. Our chatroom is open to the general public as well for lively discussions, daily gab, and free educational programming each month.
This was the official Blog for the EBSQ Self-Representing Artists Community from July 12, 2004-August 2, 2008. Come visit us in our new space: http://blog.ebsqart.com
We've been experiencing connectivity issues since yesterday and full-blown downtime for all of our servers since ~7am EST today. We have just learned this is the result of a network outage at our ISP. We have been given no ETA on when we'll be back up. Sorry for the rotten start to your week, folks. Hope to see you back online soon!
We just added EBSQ: Art Meets Blog v2.0 as a syndicated feed here on LJ, which you can add just like a regular account, to your friends list. Check it out--and please add ebsqart !
Tomorrow should be a very exciting day at the polls. And we want to see it.
So here's the challenge:
Grab your camera and document your polling place (or other election-related activities, particularly if you participated in early voting)
Post your best photo in the comments section of the official challenge post on the EBSQ Blog, limit one photo per person (and yes, the photo has to be your original work)
EBSQ will then randomly select one of the participants to win a FREE PERMANENT ACCOUNT with EBSQ (this normally costs $650, folks!)
You don't have to be a current EBSQ artist to enter. So please feel free to forward this message to interested friends. This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet, meet others in the community, and show your patriotism all in one go.
All entries must be posted by 6pm EST on 5 November 2008. The winner (as well as some of our favourite entries) will be announced on 6 November 2008.
So don't forget your cameras tomorrow!* And don't forget to vote!
*some polling places will not let you take photographs inside the actual polling place, so make sure you're acting in accord with your local regulations when you take your pictures!
Have a great month, Team EBSQ http://www.ebsqart.com Get out of the vacuum and express yourself!
EBSQ has donated a permanent artist member account to help raise funds for the Flight 93 Memorial Fund. More details on how you can win are at BurghBaby
We're about a quarter of the way through migrating all of the posts from here to there and hope to have everything moved in time for our 8th birthday celebration next month. Since this is a permanent account, we'll be keeping this space and will be posting here as well from time-to-time, or even automate things so that everything cross posts and you don't miss a thing. Let us know what you think, and be sure to bookmark the new url!
Thanks for four great years on Live Journal--here's to many more via EBSQ: Art Meets Blog v2.0!
Our ISP is experiencing some connectivity issues and we're currently up and down right along with them. We hope to offer you a much more stable connection soon!
