Updates...
I've been on the DL lately but have been working on some interesting things.
I've finally started putting together a website of my work so that I can begin marketing myself a bit more. (The link is posted to the left).
(**edit** sararae pointed out that friends can only view the link to my website if they visit my profile... so here's a link to my website to save you the trouble!).
It is definately in the beginning stages and is fairly simple since I am still working on my web design skills. I still have a few pages to work on and am going to be adding more images over the next couple of months. In the meantime I will continue working on some projects that I have in the wings. I am fairly happy with the digital work on the site but really need to step up the quality of work I have posted in the traditional section... which (oddly enough) is where I tend to shine. I haven't really done much traditional illustration since college... and what I did then isn't really appropriate for children's illustration submissions. So... hopefully I can merge some of those techniques I learned in school with subject matter that is more in line with my goal. These other images just aren't cutting it for me.
After I get a few strong pieces together I will be tranferring the site to a more appropriate domain. Right now I am using the one that I get from MSU as a student. I would like to get a more permanent domain before I really start marketing myself. Any suggestions for domain names?
I would love feedback... what you like, what you don't, what I should change or what I should improve on.
Also, you may have noticed that a lot of my old image links are broken. My journal images were being hosted on my wedding website domain and I lost it all when my membership ran out. I may get around to updating them eventually... but it doesn't rank very high on my list right now. I'm sure you all understand.
Have a happy Thursday!
