I wish dA had one of those status widgits like Facebook has.. you know...the one where you can put your current status of being?


mine would read something like this...


Lani has a LIFE which involves paying bills, taking care of THREE, count 'em, THREE children, a full time job and a budding MFA on the horizon... so back off on all the !@#$!@#$!@#$ demands.  


seriously... I cannot even begin to express how exceedingly pissed off I am right now.

I don't expect them here at dA.  The whole point of the place is to try and get as many as possible afterall!  ...well...to some small degree anyway, I suppose 'networking' is the ultimate purpose of a site like this really...

but I digress...

A few weeks back, I submitted an ad for our newest product, a Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce (it's REALLY yummy!)... just this week I received a private note from the publication's editor complimenting me on my work putting the ad together.  *happy little smile*  The networking as I meet these folks is invaluable, but it's really  nice to have someone who doesn't know me from Adam sending a private note to let me know that my work is appreciated.

a very nice feeling that.


now...back to work.  I is one very busy little momma with not nearly enough me/art time.

I realize i have been quiet for a while.  I'm a mom and have a full time job...life is crazy.  

I do have new photographic submissions to share, and even a few ATC's that I've sketched out.  The ATC's are really just to keep my sketching skills boned up and as they are completed, I'll be giving them away, for free to anyone who'd like one.  

Networking for an independent gig as a professional graphic artist/photographer has begun.  It's amazing what happens once you are introduced to a single person who really believes in you.  We are putting together a plan and hopefully, within the next five years something good will be growing.  Not saying more about it now as there's no more else to say.  :)  Things are in the works as my professional portfolio grows.  If you've ever seen any of my companies products on the shelves...then you know my work.

Meantime...I've got work to do.  New work responsibilities are keeping me busier than ever.  If you're on FB, you'll find me playing there as well, come find meh.  

untill my next posting...


cheers.

the moral of the story...take a chance and charge what the work's WORTH... you might just find yourself makin' more than you thought possible. :D

i am very tired of feeling like I'm forcing myself to go above and beyond for people who just don't give a darn in return.  

I should have done something about this a long, long time ago.  However, being the forgiving person that I am... I chose instead to believe that folks were just having a bad time of things and needed exceptions made for them.

not any  more.  



see ya on the flipside peeps.

the moral of the story...take a chance and charge what the work's WORTH... you might just find yourself makin' more than you thought possible. :D
