deborah Haagenson

I have to add - I just read your blog Q&A. You have worked very hard, for a long time. I hope you find a wonderful agent! Hello to San Jose, CA. I left CA 18 months ago after living there for for 30+ years. I lived in Ventura. I miss it!

Congratulations and thanks also to @KathrynAdebayo for a great interview. Learning about the artist is as fun as looking at their art.

@AustinShurtliff congrats @carlianne !!!

KathrynAdebayo

@demotlj I agree completely!

I am a bit behind this week, but just wanted to say that I read your interview this morning and I really enjoyed it! Lovely work, and that octopus should exist as a real stuffed animal!

carlianne

@Neha-Rawat thank you so much! I love your work too! I also totally thought you were going to take that first round of the contest this month! Your little kitty so cuuuuuute

@deborah-Haagenson thank you so much!! It must be hard to get used to "real weather" after living in Ventura so long:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@LauraA Aw thanks so much! I'm also way behind responding to people lol. And omg I would have so much fun designing plushies. They're everything I love in life

@BichonBistro that's so sweet! I'm also glad I found SVS and have been able to be revitalized. I didn't want to go into negative stuff in my interview, but I had a large client who was pretty horrible to me, and it has been a long time since I've really had any validation as an artist. Winning a contest and a feature here really makes me feel like I'm on the right track again.

and thanks everyone else again, I really really appreciate all the kind words and encouragement

deborah Haagenson

@carlianne Yes it sure is! One day this week when I walked into work it was -11, which is already very cold, but the real feel temperature was -32. Driving is the worse!

carlianne

Crazy!! Driving sounds super scary in temperatures like that.
