News, people, and other delights…
I got my copy of “The Den of Shadows Quartet” by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes in the mail today, along with three book covers, from Vicki Sheatsley, one of the lovely ladies who contacted me about using my art piece “Verwandlung” for the cover. If you click on the thumbnail, the original image will open in a new window.
On the back cover of the book, it reads “Cover art © 2009 by Miranda Adria”. 
Yippee! I’m so excited. Hopefully, this will lead to more contacts and more companies wanting to use my art for book covers, posters, cd labels, etc… Right now, I am in the process of saving up my money to both move out (most likely with Audi) and start my business fully. Even though I am already operating as a business entity, I need to really establish my company and put my name out there. Hopefully, this will help me tremendously in my goal.
On to the second word of my title, People. I’d like to talk about people for a minute. A certain kind of people that piss me off to no end: People who do things without that asking permission or informing me. For example, one of my images was used by a friend for a flyer. I wouldn’t have minded at all, if I had been asked, though. I wasn’t. I saw that I was tagged in this flyer on Facebook and I thought… “Hmm, that’s interesting. I didn’t give permission for that.” Now, my image had been used for a different flyer a few months back, but they asked me. I was fine with it, of course. However, just because I gave permission for one flyer doesn’t mean I gave permission for ALL flyers. It’s not that big of a deal, I just wish I had been asked. That’s all.
Also, I finished a new art piece FINALLY. I’d been so busy with work and spending time with Audi that I just finished it last night. You can see it here, if you like: Queen of Hueco Mundo
As for Audi and I, things are going very well. We’ve already started making life plans and hopefully, if all goes well, we can pull them off. Wish us luck!
Anyway, I don’t have much else to share, so ciao.
