About Nancy & Echui |
| Echui: 'Echui' means 'awakening' in the Sindarin dialetic of the Elvish language
from J.R.R.Tolkien's Middle Earth. I have gone through several major
artistic awakenings in recent history: February 1992 (triggered
by my divorce), July 1993 (triggered by the song 'Zooropa' by U2), June
1997 (triggered by the possibility of working on a movie) and May 1999
(triggered by SWI: Phantom Menace), Fall 2001 (triggered again by U2 -
'Beautiful Day') and several triggers between December 2001 and onward
(Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: FOTR, TT, ROTK).
Echui.com came into being November 2000 to host my artwork and separate the two worlds of my small business (Lost World Productions) and my art endeavors. Nancy, me, the owner & artist:
enjoys collecting a lot of different things (too many sometimes and
some of it ends up out for sale or trade to allow me to get more stuff)
from sci-fi to fantasy to Disney to nostalgia to the arts. I have a
day job but am also an artist/designer (and a Gemini so beware). I have
been an artist my whole life and finally admitted that is what I am,
first and foremost, in 1999. I just finished writing one of my
story lines (a Star Wars story and it turned out to be book sized).
I will be working on another off-shoot storyline - this time it will
take place in Middle Earth. (I scratched the romantic comedy screenplay
(or book) as a recent movie kind of covers it, with a different twist
but enough for me not to bother)...they are in my head and must get
written to allow room for other projects....with illustrations. Born
