Friiiiiday!

Whaaa-?

Dang! I made honorable mention in the Golden Wolf awards for best artist! Did I even *do* any EQ art this last year? I'm such a slacker... I gotta scan in that ink sketch I managed of Lovemaker last week. And do more elf art. :) I kind of got sucked into doing PA art for a good long while there in my fun time 'cause we wanted to open with some kind of database of portraits. There are a couple I'd like to pull down now that we're getting a variety of better work from more artists.

Speaking of, Staff Man is up. I'm concerned he is a little expensive, but I spent a whole lotta hours on him, so I wasn't really willing to discount any further. So there. Gotta ton of back-end PA stuff to do this weekend. To say nothing of artist management for the EMG storefront. And orders. Should write a to-do list before I forget stuff...

I also want to say that I'm really sucking more than usual at answering comments and commenting on other peoples entries, and I'm horribly sorry. It's not that I don't love you, honest. :)

I'm wearing my new glasses! They are pretty and super, super light, so I'm very happy. They sprang for the anti-scratch coating and the super thin lenses (still very thick, but less thick than my last glasses!), and they are the memory metal kind that you can twist into pretzels. I think I got a good deal. *grin* I'll post a picture of the logo when I remember to.

Still feeling a bit mangled this morning, but my mobility is much better.

Five minute countdown to the end of work...

Before I leave mid-May:

New artists up or contacted
Epitome #3 article on printing
Woodworks article? Would be nice...
June horoscopes
Clean up server, set Jennie up as admin on everything she's willing to admin.
Announce away time on front page (2 weeks notice??)

Sent out an email to a place in town interested in carrying my stuff. :)

Haven't heard from a print services client... Hmm... Need a color decision, may have to make it myself.

Should send a 'get your work in!' email to artists. Would love to send 'please join' emails to several (many!) artists, but am afraid they'd consider them spam, even though they really wouldn't be. No time anyway...

Wee!

Just got back from pressing a sample placemat (haven't heard back about colors yet, yi!), and stopped on an impulse at a new place in the same little mall. A new place decidedly interested in carrying EMG stuff. *grin* Gave her my web address, told her I'd bring samples by.

Found a skookum - seriously skookum - new way to display cards. Very happy with that.

Got another order to fill! And they mentioned that I ought to accept Paypal, so I *really* need to get moving on the webpage shopping cart/option conversion thingy that I want to do. Would save me much time and effort and transaction fees, and I'm all for making it easier to send me money. Also really need to implement the non-static product/subject pages. In a bad way.

So! I am off to print stuff.

(Oh, and I spent money! Bad me! I got a $6 silver ring with a moonstone and blueberry lip gloss.)
