I cannot believe what is happening in my life now and what I have done to deserve it - it is really too good to be true!
There are some general things to be thankful for and that is work has gotten better for some unknown reason and I'm making great progress with educating a new horse Frank (18hh black german warmblood) who is an absolute sweetheart.
But the most exciting thing goes a little like this...In April, out of the blue, my muse Ammy (the real Ammy, not the furry one
) contacts me - after 4 years - on fb because she wanted to use some of my pictures to boost her profile image as she is starting out in the LGL (ladies gridiron league). Of course I obligue and as it's such a new sport in Australia, ask if there is anyone doing any logos/mascots for the teams - not at the moment...Enter the Mighty Huntress! So she asks me to help with her team name and logo which everyone loves (UTS Furies) and I'm currently finishing off the details of the design. This has finally forced me to learn how to colour digitally and it's really not as scary as I once thought, so I'm thinking of revising some of my linearts to either add backgrounds or re-colour. Then...she was speaking to the director of the league about the work I've done and now potentially they want me to design up to 20 logos for the teams nationally!!! It is a new league so it's not going to be the highest paid project but I couldn't care less because I was the one who offered my services in the first place. I'm just sooooo grateful and humbled that my art is good enough for something like this because I've never thought that myself - considering all the absolutely astounding artists on dA. It's probably more a case of I was the only one willing to do it, but I'm sooooooo excited about sharing my art publicly.
I don't think that I could ever thank Ammy enough for this incredible opportunity, I only hope that I can do it justice. I will finally get to meet her face-to-face with the LGL director on 30/06 to discuss the details - I'm counting down the days
Love you, Am. Wish me luck!
