Today was a great day, met new inspiring people, managed to get enough client work done to keep most of them happy, even had a job interview for a position I was headhunted for – a nice confidence boost!

I also received a great comic rendering of a draft I’d done to visualize what I’m trying to do with my social endeavour.

Here is my draft:

And the work I got back from an online freelancer in Romania:

FYI, this was a US$30 posted job on oDesk.

But wait, there’s more to this story!!

This received piece of artwork was actually NOT from the contractor I formally awarded the job to. Though the official contractor hired is working with me and doing a great job, the artwork you see above was from a contractor who mistakenly thought he had been awarded the job, even though he had only been INVITED to it, along wtith a few hundred other applicants.

This is a perfect re-affirmation of why I need to be helping more people to understand how to work online. Obviously, this guy is a great designer and I am paying him for his time mistakenly spent because I love the piece and will put it to use. I’m also offering to mentor him to become more successful working online.
