@Maureen ah yes, I remember you back in the day 
I just added you to the group.
Show off your badge!
-
@Chip-Valecek Yayyy thank you Chip!
-
Thanks Chip!! Now we just need a Mayor badge for you
Director of Sunshine and Rainbows

Since the contests are so popular a badge for the previous winners would be cool. Little bonus prize for the top spot!
-
@JerrySketchyArt I thought about that. I was thinking about that. Something you get to keep for the month, and when the new winners are selected it moves to them.
-
@Chip-Valecek Ooh yeah. Like a "reigning champ" kind of thing would be cool.

@Chip-Valecek Hi. I believe I am an OG. I subscribed to SVS Learn around 2015/2016 (then SVS switched over computer systems) and took courses/participated in the Forum sporadically for years. I have been trying to be more consistent in the last year or two.
Does OG stand for Old Guys and Old Gals, or ?
-
@Maureen ah yes, I remember you back in the day
I just added you to the group. -
I'm not as active as I'd like to be either, but I've been around since June of 2017 on the forum. I've been a subscriber since they opened SVS for subscription though. Can't imagine what I'd have done without SVS!
-
@LisaF Yes yes yes @Chip-Valecek needs a special badge especially for the SVS monthly contest slide show! He does Rock!
-
This is great, thanks Chip!

Can I get an SVS OG badge?
-
@holleywilliamson Just added it for you, edit your profile and select it in your groups.

I guess I'm a "pro" then! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I published 2 animal coloring books on Amazon back in 2017. Here's the links for verification.
Kitty Cat Coloring Book:

@Chip-Valecek Or is there something else that we need to do in order to get the "Pro" badge?
-
I've been around since before 2017
though only intermittently active depending on what is going on in my life at any given time.And I don't know if having done work for Cricut counts as "published".... are we just talking about book publishing, or paid illustration work in general?
-
@Sarah-LuAnn click "edit" under "profile" - check your groups - click svsog and save changes and it will show up - it looks like Chip did not forget you
-
@avfarrar @Sarah-LuAnn the PRO badge is for people how have been published by a publisher. Self publishing doesn't count.
-
@Kevin-Longueil Ok, I clicked edit, groups, svsog... I don't see save changes though. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
ETA: I figured it out! Thanks for your help
@Chip-Valecek so pro is only for book publishing? To make it clearer what I'm asking about, here are a few of the designs I was paid to produce:
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/3d-floral-home-d-eacutecor-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holiday-snowflakes-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holly-and-ivy-digital-set.htmlThey're more in the realm of licensing rather than publishing. So I guess my question is, does "pro" refer to book work only, or other applications of art and illustration?
-
@Chip-Valecek Thanks. Good to know.
