Thriving Artist Summit

Over the past days I have been listening to THE THRIVING ARTIST SUMMIT. WOW!! What a helpful bunch of interviews for artist and illustrators. I would jump on this and listen.

It is all about thriving as an artist. I need this type of help.

TOP 20

So Kate Harper is a greeting card designer who is quite well known. By her count she has done over 1000 cards.....

She has a blog called GREETING CARD DESIGNER and she had a contest on it for the MOST ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS CARDS.

FROM HER SITE:
From over 300 entries, these twenty cards were selected for their artistic qualities and marketability, and the final winner was determined by (judge) Kathy Krassner.  

Kathy Krassner is the Director of Communications for the Greeting Card Association, Editor-at-Large of Gifts and Decorative Accessories magazine, Editorial Consultant for the National Stationery Show, Senior Editor of NobleWorks Inc., and columnist for the U.K.-based Gifts and Greetings Review.  She is also the owner of Krassner Communications. 

Anyway.....

One of my designs made it into the top 20 out of over 300 entries. That is pretty exciting news to me here at ROCKYWORLD. Since I am trying to get Rockyworld up and running and promoting it has been a bit of a challenge. 

Check out the top 20 here. http://kateharperblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/most-artistic-christmas-card.html

This is the design that made it. Thank you to Kate Harper and Kathy Krassner.
