Amelia Carson: I draw, I write

    
    I hope you read that title with increasingly high pitched fervour...... A week or so ago I was informed by the Just Another Agency power duo Toby and Melika that I had WON the book "LOVE IS HERE"... a small black and white pictorial book where artists responded to the notion that there are many ways of saying I love you... (I think mine is giving hubby the sleep in...).
Now, I haven't won anything since the grade four "Guess the Amount in the Lolly Jar" competition. Which my mother tried to convince me was my latent maths ability showing it's feverish head... no......mum... no. So, yes very excited about that little PEAK!
Thanks Just Another Agency- and folk do go a check out their blog. They represent some great artists including some personal favourites of mine like Non Kinnear King and Ears . The Just crew are so cheerful and enthusiastic about the industry. They support, praise and shout about local arts. I have found their blog and facebook page to be a great place/way of seeing how and what some of the industry is doing: a view that can be difficult to garner from behind gum trees.
 Internet how I love thee.   You give me access to a wide wide world......Ah, so now we get to the VALLEY..............

DAMYOU ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ- ok I am drawing the line at naming and shaming,  but I am disapointed ... they sent me the wrong shoe.
Instead of these:

I got these:

This is my third fffffffreaking disapointment. The first, you may remember, was that nipply issue of my nuddie shoe. This potentially cute as shoe was deemed too "offensive and inappropriate......"for production. Ok, I could ver, almost,... kinda see their point. And I could console myself with the fact that it was downright arty to be accused of being " offensive and inappropriate...". 

 Then when I went to place my new amended order there was this irritating credit card issue where despite my billing/delivery address utterly matching the one on my credit card they claimed it didn't. Errrghgh, nothing irritates me more the trying then trying to clear up a bureaucratical error.
We then had an issue of sizings... they didn't stock a full range. And then, of course, the afore mentioned :

This all means that while I've confirmed the shoes are a great and novel product the producers service is utterly rotten and this designer must remove them. BYE BYE SHOES, and apologies to all who would've enjoyed a pair..... if your dead dead dead keen contact me and we'll work something out :)

Ok so life is full of PEAKS and VALLEYs--- I am pregnant, now a definate PEAK it will have genuine valleys. One of which is a pulling back from all of this, as a massive chunk of my bodies energy is going into producing a baby. I will blog when and as I can, write when and as, and, draw when and as..... I have had to, unfortunately, turn down work, but bubba lugs and mumma jugs, (well the jugs aren't there quite yet), need looking after.


See you all very soon xxxx
