version3,
While I'm certain you could do a far better job of drawing an ampersand than me, I beg to differ with the "error in time management" bit. If it weren't for obligations that cropped up to clients who pay me for my time, then I would've gotten it done. That's not an error in time management, unless you call being a responsible owner of a growing studio an error. Call me crazy, but I'm not going to turn down real work in favor of drawing a letter for a font with my QBN pals.
Needy? That's not needy, that's simply me not liking to waste time. The guy gave me the distinct impression that I'd still make the cut, and then only after I submit, he tells me it's too late. I wasn't aware the font had already been finished, since reading every post in a 23-page thread is only just below the top of my must-read list. I was under the impression that it was still in the works and I was merely being "disciplined" as an example or something. If it's already been finished, then the hell with it, let's forget about the ampersand.
