Since I couldn't sleep last night, I got up at 4 am and made the final push to finish this drawing so I can take prints to a show to try and sell this weekend. It's called "First Double-Burn Pepper."
I took it to the printer today and they got some pastel from a previous piece of art on it. There were stripes on my brand new picture. I am just angry and kind of sick about it. Since the junk was on the scanner, they didn't even get a good clean scan before the screwed it up. I tried to erase the smudges, but it lifts up the varnish coating and then the color pencil. I will have to spend some time cleaning it up and recoloring parts of it. I am so pissy about it. Then I remind myself that it could be worse, like another artist I talked to recently who lost lots of art in a fire.

Awww... I'm so sorry to hear about the damage to your picture! It's adorable. I can't believe how fast you are to finish these things! I'm sure you'll be able to fix the damage and hopefully the printer was apologetic and maybe they'll compensate you somehow. ~ Rachel
