Customer just walked in.
Saw our winning PRINT Competition entry.
Asked how much to "make one for him."
I gave him a quote I thought would scare him off.
He said, "OK."

I'm paying for more than the dues with the Gross Profit on that one! YAY!
 
It is this kind of serendipitous stuff that it is so hard to explain to an outsider. Most years I get enough referrals to make up for my dues, though I don't keep an accounting of it.

In 2011 I got a commercial job that my gross profit was about 10 years worth of dues.

Good for you man.

I would love to see the design too.
 
Love hearing this kind of excellent news! Yes, PPFA and the awards with ribbons placed by the entry, have made a lot of money over the years. If not the design, elements of the design have been repeated. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!
