Just why the hell is Jolt so busy?

[Scott]

I randomly emailed a company about a month ago. it was just a general inquiry asking about artist submissions and how they handled that. I wasn't expecting much of a reply. Maybe a nice form letter at most. But I thought "Hey, it certainly can't hurt to ask."

Well what I got back was great :)
They asked me if I'd be interested in doing a "collection" for their image catalog in a given style they saw on my web site. A collection generally encompasses 25-40 images. This company markets and sells CD stock art images. Then I would receive a percentage of the sales of my CD or any CD which contained one or more of my images. Well, of course I said yes :)

This meant that in the past month I've had to do a lot of sketching. In all I completed close to 90 sketches. I ended up sending off 83 for approval.

I just got the word back. They've accepted 53 and requested minor changes to bout 12 of them. So.. this next month means I'll be feverishly creating TONS of vector art. :)

Silky's been great. So patient and understanding.


Anyway... when the CDs are available I'll post a link so you can see :)


Okay I'm done rambling.... just had to tell everyone.

[Chris49]

Thats cool, and realy a grate opportunity. I was wondering if the images be in vector form? I ask because I have never seen stock art in a vector format.

[Scott]

Yup, all 53 images will be vector. it's more of an upscale "clip art" package.

[Chris49]

I have to say I think your work is a bit more then upscale clip art. I've seen your duracell battery. ;)

[Happy]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[down2earth2]

[snowflakejen]

"Thou shall not covet"..thou shall not covet....

Again just one more thing to be able to say "I am proud to be a a part of Pixel Additiction"!! The pure and wonderful talent that flows from here is...well, beyond description! I am sure Silky is just soooo proud! For your "vector art" is so much more!!

Congratulations!!

[PDG]

Congrats Jolt! Well deserved indeed!

I've always been extremely proud of Scott and his abilities!! It's just that NOW he's finally getting some well deserved recognition for what I've seen all along. Damn, it took 'em long enough. :D

[QUOTE=Silky] Damn, it took 'em long enough. :D[/QUOTE]

Your heart must be bursting! And I'd say it took "them" long enough to notice! Can't say there is anything more wonderful than to see our child or spouse noticed for their achievments! Now I am just waiting for Dave to insert some genius quote descibing my thoughts! :)

You're absolutely right...there's plenty of bursting going on! I'm also much happier and more proud of Scott and his accomplishments than my own (which are few and far between...:))

DAMN! I forgot what it was! :D

It's nice to see Scott's talents being recognized (GO SCOTT!!!) in his industry and as we all know (because it's been drummed into some of us) behind every great man there is a great woman .... and Silky is one of those great women in many many ways.

[Scott]

Haven't heard back from you south-canuck :) I did reply... did youget it?

[Scott]

Looks like they finally did a little posting at the site I was working for. I'm not certain if it's complete (it doesn't look like it to me).
