Thank you, ladies!!

Soggy New York


So,


Did the New York Portfolio thing. Actually sat down with the art director for Henry Holt!


Glad I did it, although it rained and rained in the city on Monday. Spent time at Books of Wonder, and ate some ethnic food.


I want to do it again, maybe hit more than 3 publishing houses next time. Maybe try to make appointments too.

NY


I'm off to New York.

To do the portfolio drop-off thing.
Even though it's virtually an extinct act, I like to have some human contact with what I do.

To me, getting work as an illustrator is a lot like fishing. You send out your portfolio, wait for a nibble, or hopefully a bite. Then you haul in the contract. Hopefully it's a big one!

IF: Discovery

I wanted to explore the moment of discovery with this piece.

If anyone is even remotely interested in what is behind the door, let me know. I will post the image on my blog on Monday!

Illustration Friday: Geeky


I originally planned to draw a square for this topic, but wasn't sure everybody would get it.
And yes, I was a square in school.
