It's All Happening

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 20, 2007, 11:18 PM
  • Mood: Hysterical
  • Reading: R. Jordan



Well, it's all happening folks. Looks like I could have paid work as a cover artist and I have officially been sent the details for my first test cover.  :faint:

Of course I'm now running around in a mad flap trying to scratch together some suitable stock :roll: Talk about time consuming. I'm yet to find anything suitable that doesn't cost $700+. Yes, I kid you not $700+ people - sheesh, I'm lucky to be able to afford a loaf of bread ATM, let alone paying out for stock. Somehow I don't think the publishers would want to pay for it either :roll:  

Anyway, to make things just that bit trickier this publisher does the erotica style of romance novels so I need buffed up hunks and honeys with little to nothing on.  My first ever work will be a historical western - OMG!

Oh my, I think I feel an ulcer coming on :  Wish me luck (oh, and direct me to some good stock if you know of any :pray:)

Okay, so I'm late to the party, as usual...but let me add my Congrats to all the others here! Yippie! :glomp: Way to go!

As for stockists? Er, I just typed in 'erotic-stock' [LINK] tho that may not be er, quite what you are looking for, but type in stockists, and it should throw up a load of hits for you. =D

You're welcome, Hon!

It's always worth a look-see, as you never know, you just might find what you are looking for, for less than $700! Eek! =D

Congrats! :clap:

I knew you'd be doing proper cover art soon!

It really helps to know people doesn't it? Dad knows Graham Singleton who is one of the head guys at the Advocate, and got me in for work experience. :w00t: Hehe.. so excited!

Oooh good. Pleased to see you went with the Advocate. I think it will look better on your resume ;) Anyway, thanks for the cheers :D I think it will be a fun experience, and a great way for a SAHM to make a little extra money. :D

Are you entering anything in this years shows?

I'll be entering photography at Grafton (they don't have a photography section at Coffs!) and probably some art here.

Haven't decided what I'll be putting in yet, and entries close this saturday! :P

Nah, can't say I'd even thought of it. Should think about Bello show I guess. Maybe next year. Too much happening ;) Let us know how you go :D
