Something very interesting happened to me at the end of February... I was contacted by some nice people from the Conan O'Brien show... Betty White will be one of the guests this coming Tuesday and they want to present her with some of MY art! I about had a heart attack!
I'm not exactly sure what they're doing with it. They didn't give me any specifics except that they were sure they'll love my work. Woot!
I am beyond excited. I'm so nervous that she'll hate it or not like what I did with her picture... it's a bit silly. I have a feeling they'll poke a little fun... hopefully not at my expense. But, I guess it comes with the territory. Still, even if it's horrible, it will be awesome! Exposure is exposure.

The actual piece they bought was the ModBlock with Betty White eating a hotdog. It's one of my favorites and possibly my best seller on Etsy and Reddit (even though I don't really sell that many). I'll post a clip of the episode if I can after it airs. I'm assuming I'll have permission to do that... I really hope they plug my Etsy store or at least my website! Oh well if they don't though... not the end of the world. |
I suppose there is also a chance that my ModBlock might not make it in the segment... in which case I'll be very sad. But, even the thought of it all is still pretty amazing. At the very least it has really motivated me to keep working and getting my stuff out there and seen. You never know when big and exciting opportunities will just fall in your lap.
So let that be a lesson to us all. Keep working and stay motivated!
