Sorry for the database delay

Ninja July 22nd, 2007

Gosh, I feel completely awful!

Let me back track a bit. Originally, we had set up this site to be sort of like a Threadless, but for prints. I was going to sell some of my own prints from our shop + use some of the revenue to fund a monthly contest. The NvP community would vote for a winner + we would print their poster. The cool thing would be that unknown artists would be able to get their stuff out into the public + folks would be able to own some cool art (that they hand-picked themselves). Unfortunately, with our server move issues, + our hectic jobs/schedules, we haven’t been able to do so. This dream was sort of put on hold. At one point, Penguin was holding down his full time job, 2 freelance gigs, + being a youth group leader/drama instructor at our church. And I’ve been pretty busy with my bread + butter job, wedding invites for friends, + non-profit org design work, so I haven’t had a chance to fix + tweek the bezier curves for my upcoming prints. Not to mention that since our database is down, I haven’t been able to sell my current First Kiss print. =( No worries though, we will get our ish together! In the meantime, I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to y’all for your emails + constant encouragement. You guys TOTALLY ROCK!!!

Whew, with that being said, I’ve had the pleasure of exchanging some emails with photographer, Mr. Steffan Chyzak. He’s been patiently waiting for us to get our database back to up + running order. My deepest apologies for this long delay. And a big thanks to Mr. Chyzak for sharing his work with me! =)

Steffan has some cute lil’ animal photos like this hedgehog (+ he’s got some penguins in his gallery too, hehe). Please check out Steffan’s website (click on the photos link in the menu on the left) + if you’re interested in ordering photos, he can reached at via email at steffan@steffan-alternativedesigns.co.uk.

Also, I do get quite a bit of email (anywhere from 50–100 emails a day). Haha, not all from NvP; I’m not that popular, so I apologize if any of yours got lost in the shuffle. I promise I will do my best to reply back to y’all in a timely manner.

Much thanks for your continued love + support! =D

Cheers,
Ninja
