new version of another page (first couple of stages)
I'll post more over the next several days... I may remove the blue bird as his angle is a little off (he doesn't look like he's seen from below like the others). Also 'crib' may go. We'll see. Next I'll do the background pattern....
I've been working away at online promotional stuff. Not only am I working my way (slowly, arrggghh) (I am so impatient with myself! But I deserve it, dammit! Get to work!) through Alex Mathers' ' 10 steps to powerful online promotion...' , I am also participating in zero2illo's '12 week challenge', which will be a series of activities/exercises intended to turn fledgling freelancers into veritable self-promotion machines! Cyborgs, perhaps! Should be good. More about that later. So that gives me another reason to park myself in front of the computer. Amongst the things that I have done as suggested by Mr. Mathers is create another blog! To which I will provide a link after I do another post, a better one. That first one was just an introduction. The next will be much more interesting! I have also finally set up my facebook 'fan page'. Still, so much to do... I have the feeling that somehow, there is an ever-increasing number of things that I must accomplish before I am 'ready' to do the next thing that I must do. These preliminary things just appear, rise up, like dust bunnies. The next thing that I'll do is install a 'sign-up' box on my blogs so as to accumulate an email list for 'news updates' and the like. It's not currently possible for me to install html code on my actual website (something of a problem, but which can be worked around right at this very moment), so I'm looking around to change hosts. (You see? Dust bunny right there!) Anyhow. I think that that's all for now, y'all.....

Illustration friday for this week (Feb. 6: 'flawed'


This is my second posting on Illustration Friday. So far I've received about 40 hits total from the posting last week; most were on the Friday itself... So this week I've posted it earlier, so that it will appear on the home/opening page of Illustration Friday for a few more days.
I decided this week to spend three hours in total on the illustration friday drawing and just use it as a tool or opportunity for practice, a pretend assignment (good, as I'm not getting any real ones). I think that I will adopt this approach in a more general way, giving myself 'assignments' that will hopefully add to my portfolio if they turn out well, and not take too much time if they don't.
Hay, check out my website, why not?
