first illustration friday post, --finally

it's been awhile take 2

It's about time, after a couple years of thinking hard and long and trying to get together a package a business package... rethink my whole product, when I should have known all along to just let it come naturally. Letting my work gauge how my "package" should be...what my strengths in my work are has finally turned my lightbulb on. So website, business cards are underway.... [actually traveling portfolio may take awhile].   

goals:

get in on the illustration friday action... but actually posting.

more sketches... more finished pieces

more networking

website

business cards

more consistency

more creative projects for myself

doing creative projects with friends other people.

It's been a bit...

It's been quite some time since I've written in here. This over full time semester has truly been kicking my butt. Unfortunately I don't get the chance to do as much personal drawing as I'd like to because at the end of the day after work and class I'm beat. But, it's nearing the end of the semester and hopefully I'll have more stress free time for myself to allow my creative juices to flow. Projects are overflowing in Concept drawing...but in my other classes my homework and projects are contained, Thank goodness! I have an interview for an internship for an advertising agency.. I honestly don't think I'll be able to manage it next semester with 2 jobs and 15 credits.. but the opportunity presented itself and I couldn't just not do it.

Unfortunately my wonderful digital camera was stolen, and when I receive my new one for my birthday I will be able to post more recent sketches... artwork... etc.
