Received the latest issue of Somerset Studio in the mail a couple days ago and when I turned to the Expressions section - there was my Poe's Graveyard!
A Midnight Dreary - Poe's Graveyard 8x10
It's always an act of faith sending off a piece of art and then waiting several months to see if it's accepted or not. And always exciting to have that faith rewarded and see one's art in print. Read here for a blog post of how this piece was created. This issue of Somerset will hit the news stands on Sept. 1!
Congratulations! Good for you for not giving up on those folks. I have often read that "showing up" is a key part of succeeding in anything, from spiritual practice or winning a lover to -- obviously -- getting the publishing powers that be to see the quality and imagination of your work.
ReplyDeleteMargot - Thank you, sometimes it's hard to keep trying, but always worth it in the end.
