My painting is in Time Magazine!

[Biciclista]

How amazing is that? Time Magazine found the copy of my Obama portrait that i had posted on my Flickr account and included it in a photo essay. It's the Dec 29th Issue, it's on page 41 and also on page 37! Pretty cool, eh?

[OakLeaf]

wow, how cool is that! We're so proud of you! :D

[Zen]

I saw that (a thumbnail version) and I thought it was a photo that you had painted from!

Did you get any credits?

Did you get any credits?

Did you get paid? :o oooh, oooh, oooh, they credited you!!! Way to go, Time!! It's like having an agent you don't have to give 40% to.

Next stop the MOMA

It's not in their online gallery for whatever reason.

and Trek, they didn't pay, but if someone could tell from that 1 square inch of Magazine space that they really liked the painting they could google my name... etc.
thanks for all your well wishes!

[Selkie]

Congratulations! That is wonderful news.

[sfa]

That's so cool! It took me a bit to find it, though--it's on page 43 in the copy I have (more ads in my copy maybe?). And there's your name in the credits--the only woman in the whole bunch!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

[kelownagirl]

Mimi, of all the pics in that flickr slideshow, I truly think yours was the best. So what name did you decide to go by, mimitabby or biciclista? ;)

[Biciclista]

thanks Kgirl

I almost always post as biciclista, but everyone knows i'm Mimi. one of many mimis :cool:

[channlluv]

Bleeker, thanks for posting those images. Which painting is Mimi's?

Mimi, very cool in getting picked up by Time. That's phenomenal. Are you a professional artist? Is this something that will help you build your portfolio?

Yay for Mimi!

edit: oh, duh, let me pay more attention to your sig line...sheesh.

[jesvetmed]

Congratulations, Mimi! That's really very cool. And I agree -- you really had the best painting there! We know someone famous!!!!! Yippee!

[malkin]

Cool, cool, and more cool!

[redrhodie]

So, has anyone thought of doing a show of these works? I think a DC gallery should be contacted and this should be done soon! (in time for the inauguration). This could be so big!

Congratulations, Mimi!

[kelownagirl]

Bought my copy today - bragging to anyone who will listen. :)

[Biciclista]
