Stein.

     I don't normally post two blogs in one day, but today is a special, once-in-a-lifetime occasion. At DU, our art department professors often email students with art-related job opportunities and internships on and around campus. This morning, I was checking my inbox and noticed that I had an email that was forwarded to me by one of my instructors, saying that Denver Post editorial cartoonist, Ed Stein, was looking for someone to be his production assistant and help to ink, color, and prep drawings for publishing. I've been a fan of Ed's since I was little, and while I thought it was a cool opportunity, I sent a quick reply asking for more information about the job...after all, I'm going to have a totally full schedule with cross country, school, and my graphic design job...it would be tough to balance it all. I had just sent the email and was walking downstairs when my phone rang, and low and behold, it was Ed himself. I've been invited to his studio tomorrow around 11:00 to talk about possibly becoming an apprentice of sorts for him. I'm so psyched! It's not totally set in stone yet, seeing as I'd have to work out a few things with next quarter, but if I can somehow manage it, this will definitely be the biggest thing that has ever happened to me as an artist. We'll see what happens!
