Oh and the update... I emailed the woman to let her know that I'd love to work with her, and asking if she needed anything from me, since we hadn't had a chance to work together. She asked for some work samples, so I've uploaded those for her. I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm hoping she's just busy and taking her time to look through the things I've done... as opposed to being horrified by my work and trying to find a nice way to say "no thank you"

Thanks for asking... I'm still holding on to some hope!
