Seriously. And that includes this licensing deal. Now I get approached several times a year because someone want sto use my images for t-shirts or blankets. But this is the first time an agency has asked. BTW he seen me at (Loring Park) Perhaps it got spammed out. Hmm. Excellent idea to do the press release thing. Clever girl.

Just read your post to me on Bang Your Head Here -- I sent both you and Undaunted response e-mails. Did you get yours, Undaunted? I will check into that as I have sent a few. Thanks for letting me know. The show is a local show, but in an upscale college town -- it is the 3rd annual show (I did not go to first two, unfortunately). It is at a mansion called Bryn Du that the city of Granville now owns. They play polo on the grounds every Sunday Afternoon -- have gotten some nice reference photos that I have yet to use from there. They say they sell pieces well at the opening -- will see. At any rate the whole thing will be fun for me. I am thinking of sending some press releases (another first) to local papers to anounce getting into the exhibit along with opening a pet portrait business (or vica versa). Angela P.S.

I hope you feel that you made accomplishments in all the areas you mention. You know, it's the funniest thing, yesterday I was thinking about you and your statement awhile ago that you were wondering what alternatives there might be to being on the road so much -- and my mind wondered to licensing. I am glad you alread have some irons in the fire in that regard. I hope you are finding some good information on the subject -- as what little I have read about it -- an uninformed artist can get ripped off. What a great and well deserved opportunity licensing would be for you! I am looking forward to hearing more about that in the future. Thanks for talking about your idea process. I look forward to see you donation painting! Happy painting to you, Angela Hi Mona, nice to see you back. I hope you feel that you made accomplishments in all the areas you mention.
