I am the luckiest person in the entire universe..
Stuff's looking good now. I'm not sure what to think of about how today went. But I think swanky-cool-awesometastic fits pretty nice.
Yessir.
Back in January, I was drawing in a donut shop that I'm quite fond of; Robin's donuts.
It was right after I dropped out of college. It was that same day. The reason I'd gone there was because I wasn't sure what I was thinking about, or what I wanted to do with myself. All I wanted to do was draw, forget everything, and try not to totally dillude myself into thinking that my life would fail because I'd rather draw than listen to history.
This is where I received my first commission. I'm not a great artist, but I was really excited to be asked for it; I drew it to the best of my abilities, and was promised fourty dollars for it.
I've been extatic about that for some time, but it seemed like Patrick had forgotten about this; he hadn't really contacted me, so I figured he'd just forgotten. Which was fine. I'd still drawn something, and before I drew it, I was only going to ask him for twenty dollars. Robin's has closed; they went bankrupt. This majorly sucks, since the only other 24 hour place near here is a Tim Hortons, which is also right near the bar.
Today Patrick came to meet me at work; I was really excited, but I acted mature. He gave me the fourty dollars, and asked if I could take my break.
So I did.
He's bought Robin's. He's going to turn it into his own coffee shop. 'Corky's Coffee and Deli'
Corky is the character I drew. He's going to use my character sketch, my colours, my design, on his huge sign for his business. I am drawing his friggen mascot here. I can't believe I've been given this privilage.
I'm going to recieve royalties for it; I'll be paid really well, apparantly. I never thought this could go this far, but it is. I'm so excited that it's completely insane.
So I'm really fuckin hyped. I'll post pictures of the building sometime within the next year.
woot.
