So ages ago I entered that competition to paint a giant pig and yesterday I got a call to say they had a sponsor for my Swinions design! So yay! The only drawback? It has to be painted by 30th May, and I'm now away from tomorrow until 27th so I'll have a massive three days to get it done when I get back from Italy. Just as well it wasn't a complicated design and there are only a few colours involved! LOL!
This is the one


I'm all packed for A16, bag full of god knows what, decisions semi-firm about what to do for photo ops, a list as long as my arm of extras I have to try and get for friends who won't arrive until late on Friday and the knowledge that there will be something I've forgotten. But soon I'll be hanging out with so many flisties its utterly awesome. Can't wait!

Yay! I thought it was an awesome idea and I'm glad they came to the same conclusion. Take a picture of the finished one for us.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

You bet I will! :D

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

That is awesome!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I hope it will be an awesome pink pig - they want it more pig coloured so it will be toned down from this version.

That's great!

Congratulations, and (even though you're nervous) I hope you have a great time!

RE: That's great!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :D

That's so exciting!!! I hope you'll post pictures of the completed (painting marathon!) pig when you're done. Seriously, that's so cool. When I was in Alaska their deal was painted cows, and they are all so delightful. Huzzah for piggies, too!

And also huzzah for A16 and all of that fandom and fandom friend goodness. <333

I've never painted anything this large before, it's going to be interesting... LOL

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, good for you! And WTF about taking a year to pick the artists, and then giving them less than a month to do the work? Not cool.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. I wish I lived closer, so I could help you!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I wished you did too! Mind you, I'm sure if you lived closer you could have had a pig of your own! :D

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

Hooray! That's awesome news! Your Swinions are brilliant and I'm glad they attracted a sponsor. Much deserved. And yes, yes. You're gonna be so hectic! But good luck. And have fun. :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! PS I emailed you about meanttobe posting - did you get it?

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]
