Title: Amazing
Post by: Gator on February 15, 2017, 01:14:21 PM: In about 20 minutes I'm receiving an award for a piece of artwork that includes a mentorship with an art director for an Atlanta publishing company. This might open new doors for me!

The most amazing thing in my entire life has happened and I have no one to tell :cry: I can't tell anyone details yet, I have been asked to keep quiet until March, but it involves my artwork! I have never been so excited or nervous! I will tell my parents this evening, but I wish I had a close friend that I could call and tell now, so I'm telling my fellow pony collectors here! I was eating lunch when I opened the email and I started crying in the restaurant. :biggrin: This could be life changing.

Post by: Gator on March 08, 2017, 04:32:00 AM: Two more days. Last Saturday my mom and I did a test run to Atlanta to find where I'm supposed to go. I live out in the country and I'm not used to driving in the city. This afternoon I'm going to make copies of my best work to take. I don't have a portfolio yet so I know I'll look totally unprofessional.
