Help save my artwork as data recovery!
As luck would have it, both my travel hard drive and my back up hard drive's have incurred some mechanical problems... at the same time. 10+ years of work... and my back up.
I won't know the final outcome for another couple of days, but IF they can retrieve the data (some 800+ Gigabytes), it will cost me a minimum of $300 per drive. In addition, I also need to purchase 2 new external hard drives. This of course happens at a time when I am scrimping and saving to afford a 2 month studio assistantship at the Penland School of Craft this March-May.
I am beside myself with anxiety. Right now I can only hope and pray and rely on the kindness of friends, family and coworkers to help me cover the costs of saving my entire digital artistic library. Everything.
