Q: Can you critique my work
?

©: If it makes you feel any better, please feel free to send what you wish. Because of my limited time, I will do my best to respond promptly. Please do not take it personally if I don't get to reply.

©: Keep in mind, I'm not the best choice to spot critique, as you will soon understand, asking another "Artist" for critique is almost like asking Michael Jackson critique Eminem. You see? ;) Your best bet, are with Creative/Art Director /Designers.


Q: I'm trying to market myself in Illustration. Do you have any advice for me?

©: Anything is better than sitting at home, mope about your talent.
• You should set up a Website for yourself. Free listings & Submissions are available with GOOGLE.com, FOLIOPLANET.com, COROFLOT.com etc.
• You can also check on many ON-LiNE Reps & get yourself listed at an affordable price (e.g., ALTPICK.com, theiSPOT.com, WorkBook.com, BlackBook.com/ etc.)
• Socail Media, Business cards, Postcards, Promo/ Portfolio kits are all very helpful.

It's also good for you to reach out locally. A small gallery/art display at a bar/coffee shop can also attract potential clients. Sure, you hear "it's all about 'who you know' and 'networking'". But ultimately, it is about your talent. So, don't underestimate the public.
Keep your options & mind open (and your pencils, sharpened). =)

 

Q: What advice do you have for starting out artists aspiring to become Illustrators?

©: A part-time job isn't so bad. Don't be so high & mighty about yourself!
To TRULY LOVE what it is that you do & do it for the right reasons.
......................and just, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" :)
