@jaepereira just added you to the group.

@Chip-Valecek Ohhhh I would qualify for pro, since my panda book just hit the shelves last week!

[Chip Valecek]

@NessIllustration you got it! Just edit your profile and select it under group title.

[jaepereira]

@Chip-Valecek sweet. Thank you!

[NessIllustration]

@Chip-Valecek Yayyy thank you Chip!

[LisaF]

Thanks Chip!! Now we just need a Mayor badge for you

[JerrySketchyArt]

Since the contests are so popular a badge for the previous winners would be cool. Little bonus prize for the top spot!

[Chip Valecek]

@JerrySketchyArt I thought about that. I was thinking about that. Something you get to keep for the month, and when the new winners are selected it moves to them.

[JerrySketchyArt]

@Chip-Valecek Ooh yeah. Like a "reigning champ" kind of thing would be cool.

@Chip-Valecek Hi. I believe I am an OG. I subscribed to SVS Learn around 2015/2016 (then SVS switched over computer systems) and took courses/participated in the Forum sporadically for years. I have been trying to be more consistent in the last year or two.

Does OG stand for Old Guys and Old Gals, or ?

[Chip Valecek]

@Maureen ah yes, I remember you back in the day I just added you to the group.

[RHirsch]

I'm not as active as I'd like to be either, but I've been around since June of 2017 on the forum. I've been a subscriber since they opened SVS for subscription though. Can't imagine what I'd have done without SVS!

[lmrush]

@LisaF Yes yes yes @Chip-Valecek needs a special badge especially for the SVS monthly contest slide show! He does Rock!

[lmrush]

This is great, thanks Chip!

Can I get an SVS OG badge?

[Chip Valecek]

@holleywilliamson Just added it for you, edit your profile and select it in your groups.

I guess I'm a "pro" then! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I published 2 animal coloring books on Amazon back in 2017. Here's the links for verification.

@Chip-Valecek Or is there something else that we need to do in order to get the "Pro" badge?

[Sarah LuAnn]

I've been around since before 2017 though only intermittently active depending on what is going on in my life at any given time.

And I don't know if having done work for Cricut counts as "published".... are we just talking about book publishing, or paid illustration work in general?

[Kevin Longueil]

@Sarah-LuAnn click "edit" under "profile" - check your groups - click svsog and save changes and it will show up - it looks like Chip did not forget you
