After four magnificent months, my current job (illustrating Christmas books for Philo Trust) is almost wrapped up. Like all roller coasters it has to finish, and like all roller coasters, I wish it didn't. I'm a glutton for the fever of it.
So it's time to tread that promotional trail once more. Cards and emails and "look at me, I'm over here"....(hi!).
I must prod the noodle into gear. How can I present my work simply, but with impact? How do I adequately communicate my love and energy for what I do? How should I show who I am, what inspires me, what I do best, what I can do for you (oh gracious art director, editor, publisher...). So many questions, too many answers, so lets start where I always start: tea and travel. The Cutty Sark; human form (but don't rely on my sea legs)!
A wonderful depiction of tea and travel! Fun, interesting, and well-done. nancy
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!! A great composition and a wonderful musing.
ReplyDeleteLouise, This is a beautifully designed page -- my eyes "traveled" from one image to the next -- about all the "traveling" I do! Thanks for sharing and good luck in finding that elusive next job.
ReplyDeleteI loved the composition of your journal pages. Best wishes on the next leg of the journey.
ReplyDeleteLovely sketch! Best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteAgree- must always start with a cuppa tea!!! Really love this!!! Love the way you have added travel into the compostion!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! I'd like to join you with that cup of tea. It looks like a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketch!
ReplyDeleteYet another great one to illustrate all your thoughts. :) You always have a thing with that, and it's very unique and special. Colorful and cheerful, and with deep meanings. Good luck with what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteYou got two of my biggest passions here: Tea and travel! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I'm fascinated by your drawings/paintings. Must ... follow!!

This is a great sketch - as always! Seems to me that if you are looking to present your work and yourself, you could do a lot worse than direct folks to your blog! They could not fail to be impressed.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the sweet comments and well wishes! It's such a welcome boost :)
