Hey everyone! So far this has been one of the busiest months freelancing for me, and happens to be sprinkled with some new things going on.
First up, I'm one of twenty finalists for the 2009 Threadless Bestee Award. If I win, by getting enough votes, I'll get $20,000 as well as the prestigious award, which is a pretty big deal in the t-shirt industry.
In order to win though, I do need votes, so if you would like to help me out, and take five minutes out of your day, please go to the following link:http://www.threadless.com/bt
And vote for my design "Attack of Literacy" to winIt's free to sign up for the website, and the money would definitely be a help to my fiance and I. So, go vote, and if you can, ask people you know to vote for it as well!
