SPONSOR!

SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!! *jumps up and down all excited*
Breathe breathe breathe... *feeling light headed* oh god i think I'm hyperventilating!!

OK... so a few friends and i have been trying to organize a "devmeet" where artists/ deviants from deviantart in Jeddah all get together and support each others art, get connected and try to make a difference.. we've been at this for a few weeks now tryin to think of ideas and such... we werent doin bad but we werent doin great either.

anywho.. so I'm at work yesterday and get a call from on of the guys telling me that they have found a SPONSOR for the event.. and that we are all goin to meet up at "second cup" at coral mall and meet the sponsors.. EEEEK... talk about a blood rush.. i quickly agreed and asked to be picked up from work.

We get there and we wait impatiently.. ( we are originally two guys and two girls but poor souma cudnt make it *hugs souma* so i was stuck with the boys)

they two guys ( YOUNG GUYS ) working for a fairly new advertising co here in Jeddah but well known internationally TBWA... they are looking for new and talented artists.. ppl with potential.. ppl who think outside of the conventional box.. god i know so many ppl who wud be so awesome.. and they ( the sponsors ) wud totally love. *crosses fingers for them*

there is soooo much that needs to be done.. i have so much work to do...
i stayed up all night.. thinking of ideas... brainstorming.. i was totally xhausted but cudnt sleep...
i wanted to wake up today and get busy with things.. but i duno.. I'm feeling a bit under my standards today.. i think I'm comin down with the flu! *gasp* i hope not.. i dont have time to get sick.. not now..

hmmm.... I'm afraid the perfectionist in me will fight its way thru and I'm gona become over stressed with this whole xhibition..
i need to design a t-shirt... or come up with a better souvenir to give to our guests.. somthing unconventional.. somthin diff.. somthin that ppl will say wow.. thats such a cool idea.
I MUST come up with a cool slogan.. a cool line that represents who we are and what we do...
* jeddah deviants... setting new boundaries
* jeddah deviants... have no limits
* jeddah deviants... resisting conventionality :S lol
* jeddah deviants... give a new meaning to being devious.
* jeddah deviants... ........ ......

i need to design a banner for the xhibit..
i need to come up with things for the new site ( account on DA ) that fifi launched last night..

god.. there is too much thinking being done.. I'm gona have a meltdown XD

I'm feeling very xcited and getting sick at the same time... lol..i never knew it were possible.
i'll keep updates on whats goin on.

i gotta get somthin to eat.. I'm startin to feel dizzy and i havent eaten since yesterday lunch!! and its almost lunch time again! *gasps and faints*

hehe :D

nah... i dont think anything will happen for me... but i know for sure some ppl on deviantart are goin places... they saw some ppls work and were impressed with some things.. we gave them all of our links to our pages.. but i dont think my work is (outside of the box) enough for them..
I'm just glad I'm taking part in this.. They want us to make a group on DeviantART so ppl from jeddah can join and stuff... and then they are gona give other advertising agency the name of the URL and tell them that if anyone wants talent.. to check out those pages..
I just hope we live up to our xpectations.. this is really big and those guys are xpecting alot from us.. even tho we told them we are all amateurs and we have no idea what we are doin.. lol

when someone hires me.. or wants me to do somthin for them.. thats when i think Im good enough.. other than that.. i dont think i'll ever really think I'm that good.. but thanks for the support :) *hug*

2istedgirl said...

ok ... do u know of ANYONE who will hire anyone if they are not confident in themselves??!?!!
u need to prove to them that u KNOW wat ur doing, u can do better than wat they xpect and u will give them wat they want with ur own touch that no one else can duplicate...
and u can !!
