e.mail exchange with potential (or not) client
ME: are you getting burned out from invites to blogs?...yes?! well her's another invite...to my blog! ;)
CONTACT: No, but what really burns me out are these emails.
ME: yes that was my point. it's really the only way i can communicate with my clients and potential clients so i was trying to make light of the fact that illustrators such as myself need to do this to be seen. we hate having to do it, you hate having to get it but it's really all we have (unless you want me to call you directly?). sorry if my email rubbed you the wrong way xxxxx i apologize. i guess you want to be removed from my emailing list? don't buy illos or is my style just not something you would use? please let me know.
CONTACT: Just one of those days. You can keep me on your mailing list…besides it got me to check out your site now didn't it! No hard feelings
ME: no big deal xxxxx, forget about it. the email you sent back is exactly what i believe most art directors are saying to themselves...at least you had the balls to send it. i'll keep you on the list, i promise not to send too much.
CONTACT: No problem. I apologize again for the smart ass email…totally wrong of me. I know your name will come to mind if we need anything! Take care
