This is my first LJ post...hurray for trying new things!

Well, I am in the process of applying to a trading card company that has a particular line that is geared toward girls. The collection is called "Bella Sara", and consists of many different designs revolving around horses...from common pintos to mythical horses that fly or live in the sea. I am hoping to be able to get an illustrating job with them, since I can crank out horses pretty quickly. I think my fantasy style will suit them perfectly, and the best part is that my daughter already has a large collection of them.  I'd love her to be able to say "My Mom designed this one!".  I have NO idea how much a gig like that would pay, but hell...every little bit helps.

On another note, I am going to attempt to paint a piece to enter into the "National Christian Art Competition". It wil be my first time entering it, and I am hoping I have enough time to accomplish the piece I have in mind, since the deadline is December 31st. Here is a link to anyone who wants to see it http://www.art4god.com/html/   

See you soon!
