I had an idea last night about word of mouth and the whole idea of 'it's who you know...' I know I don't know as many contacts as my friends and I'm always itching to meet more people. So I'm going to try a little offer here. If you suggest/pass my name along to an industry contact (be it editorial or publishing or a design agency or licensing for housewares (bonus points!) or advertising or greeting cards or whatever!-- basically anyone who might hire me for a project), I will paint the animal of your choice and send it to you, gratis. Or if you have a hankering for a monster/imaginary creature, I can do that too.
What you have to do: contact someone and refer me to them. Doesn't have to be pushy or complex, just tell them I exist and if you think I'd do good work for them! In short, put in a good word for me. Then email me at meg@meghunt.com (subject line: Word of mouth!) and tell me who you told and their company so I can keep track. And of course tell me what animal you would like and your address.
What I will do: Thank you profusely and paint you a fun picture (around 7-9", about the size of the paintings above). Depending on how many people do this, it may take a while for me to get your painting done but I'll try my hardest to make them in a timely fashion (and let you know how long it might be along the way).
So tell your friends! It's a win-win situation-- you get free original artwork for the cost of a few kind words, I get to improve my painting skill, everyone will get to see new fun paintings, and hopefully some cool people in the art/design world might find a new person to work with.

no pressure, but if anyone wants to take me up on it let me know!
