Promo sheet

I put together a promo sheet that I can email to art directors. I think it's the right balance of bright colors & silliness to show who I really am. :)

Holli Conger - illustration career consulting

If you are unfamiliar with artist Holli Conger, you really need to go check out her work. If you're an illustrator who is looking for that little push into the publishing world . . . look no further than Holli Conger. She's offering consulting opportunities. I made the super smart decision to sign up with her for Feburary & March, and can tell you . . . BEST DECISION EVER! No lie. Out of all the postcard mailers, conferences, and networking I've done, working with Holli has provided more feedback, opened doors & brought on more opportunities than those things ever did. Completely worth every penny. I went with the 2 month consultation because I wanted as much time with her as possible. Plus, I admit, that I was worried the 1 month gig would be too intense - if you know Holli, you know how busy that gal is - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up. ^__^

While I'm singing Holli's praises, I'd like to invite you over to my new website - Holli pretty much put this whole thing together for me because I could not, for the life of me, figure out wordpress. I always wanted my own site, but never took the steps to make that happen. Thanks, Holli! What a great gal. Now go . . . enjoy some of Holli's art, and sign up for her next consulting opportunity!

Illustration Friday: "Popularity"

Sandy was one of the most popular bears in the forest. Unfortunately, her little sister, Doris, wasn't all that impressed with Sandy's attention. Repeat after me, little Doris, "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And, doggone it, people like me." ^__^

Eyes

I did a few sketches of possible eyes for my style. I tend to go back & forth between big eyes, or black dots, so I thought I'd see which I felt fit my style best. Kind of a fun little exercise. Have you ever explored the possibilies?

Craft pages

Here are a couple of craft ideas I illustrated as samples for a possible assignment. They're projects we made in preschool, so I thought I would share them. Enjoy.

IF: Twirl

Quick little sketch for the Illustration Friday theme: Twirl. :)
