15 Steps to Freelance Illustration

Anita Kunz

Lately I've been listening to podcasts on Escape from Illustration Island (I'm taking a break from Car Talk) and just finished an interview with Anita Kunz. It was great, and I love her work. Really worth listening to!

Group Mailer

This is the final piece for the group mailer that I've been working on. 

Sketches for Group Mailer

One thing I took home from the SCBWI conference was the importance of showing my process. It's going to be a challenge for me since I only like to show work that I feel deserves to leave my studio. These are some beginning sketches for a group mailer I'm doing for my self promotion class. I'm not big on thumbnails until I have an idea of what I want to do. So get out some ideas and then start thinking about placement. 

Mood Board

My latest assignment is to take an existing state and populate it with likeminded people. For example, Michigan would be were all the mathematicians would go, Maryland would be the state of physicians, and so on. I chose New Jersey since it's a beautiful state and I wanted to clean it up. It will henceforth be known as the "Organic Garden State." Unoriginal? Perhaps, but Snookie and her cohort The Situation will no longer be the face of New Jersey.

Ralph Nader

I was looking through my hard drive for some work and found Ralph Nader. It was for my caricature class last year. He still has my vote.
