Well since I've already shared the hotel with you, I guess there's no reason to stop now.
Here are some photos of me jumping around the room like a loon when I realized my artwork was published in the Sept-Oct edition of Somerset Studio. And I'm sorry that this issue is no longer available on news stands, but I still wanted to share this awesome moment with my blogging friends.
After being a guest on QuinnCreative's blog, I contributed the artwork to Quinn's article in Somerset Studio. That artwork was the first to appear in Quinn's column in the last three years!
I found out about this shortly after arriving in the US. It was a phenomenal feeling to pick up a magazine that wasn't readily available to me in Germany and see the article about Creality, see the name TJ Goerlitz, and see the words Studio Mailbox in Quinn's beautiful writing about this crazy phenomenon we've all experienced.
Not convinced Creality is real? Page 12 my friends, page 12... I assure you it's real.
But the hotel's TIGER CURTAINS - I hate to admit, they're the real deal too...
woohoo! go you!
will have to try and get hold of a back issue so I can point at your name and say "I know her, well kind of, online and stuff" :)

That is huge! It is such a popular magazine and this will let so many more people get to know you. How are you adapting to being in the US again? I hope you finally got your art supplies.

Well these are lovely messages to wake up to! I was sort of cringing when I posted these because they were dorky AND because the photos are weirdly orangey/yellow in a way that I couldn't even figure out how to fix in Photoshop.
Yet it was such a big deal, how could I not share? Thanks for sharing it with me you guys!!

Dorkiness is endearing...at least that's what I tell myself every day. LOL

Oh, that's fantastic! And I missed it. Now I'll have to find a copy online.
Love the photos of you....I can feel the excitement. Congratulations! I'm sure I'll be seeing you in many more magazines in the future.

Janet I'm sorry, I mentioned it on my Facebook page when it first happened but then with the move I just wasn't able to keep the blog rolling like I had hoped.
I'd offer you one, but there was so much going on at this time that I only have one copy myself..!

YEA! Congrats! This is just the beginning.
