New home for Sarah Morrigan's blog on art, designs and graphics

Here is the new location for Sarah Morrigan's blog, Sarah Speaks In Pictures and Words: Sarah Morrigan on Art, Designs and Graphics. I have relocated the site from Wordpress.com, due to the ease of management and better features.

I have also transferred all past posts from Wordpress onto this site. (Here is how.)

This blog primarily deals with fine arts, artistic practices, graphic designs, graphic communications, corporate identity and branding, as well as some occasional tidbits on my life as an artist.

Here are direct links to some of the reader favourites:

• Free Scribus 1.3.9 business card template for Vistaprint and Nitroprint
• Free Scribus 1.2.x business card template for a 10-up Avery 8879 sheet
• USPS standard postcard template for Scribus 1.2.x and later (very popular).
