Yes, friends, I'm back. My computer crashed over the weekend and my awesome father-in-love is repairing her...actually, re-building her. She will be back, feeling better than ever this weekend. For now, i am improvising, using our laptop, but do not have access to my old files, pictures or address book. It's been a challenging week, but I'm so thankful to Duz for coming to my rescue!
There's so much to share with you, but today I want to share some excitement here in the studio. I had entered a t-shirt art design contest on the Fresh Produce sportswear website. Are you familiar with Fresh Produce? It's that yummy, beachy clothing line that you see everywhere. They have stores in many beachside vacation spots around the country and also, an online store. Anyway, they had an artist callout in April requesting artwork for t-shirts that would compliment their "beach vacation state-of-mind" style. I entered 3 pieces and one of them made it to the finals. The winner receives $1000 and will have their artwork printed on an upcoming clothing line. 2nd place winner gets $500 and artwork printed on an upcoming clothing line. There are also "honorable mention" awards as well. Anyway, the 16 finalists are posted on the site and now the public gets to vote for their favorite! The link is just below You don't have to register or sign in or anything...just vote (and tell your friends!). Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! You are the best!!!!
