All aboard!

Welcome to my very first blog! After much procrastination, I have finally decided to start a blog! It is my hope that this will be a creative outlet for me to share my ideas and illustrations. I have tossed around the idea of blogging for quite some time but have never actually made the plunge, but now that I have...I hope this will be the swift kick in the arse that I need to take my work to the next level. My goal is to post here at least once a week(in theory anyway), with something hopefully worth showing or talking about. So without further ado...

I thought this would be a great way to start things off. Above is the mockup for my promotional catalog submission my agency will be putting out this year. The emphasis of this catalog was to showcase characters, and I think it accomplished this fairly well. There's a good variety of characters in the mix, although I would have liked to have squeezed in a kid or two, given that 90% of what I illustrate are kids. One would think that given this 90%, I would have been able to pull out just one kid from all the work I've done that I thought would work, but alas, for whatever reason, I found not a single one! Hopefully the potential clients who see this will put two and two together and realize that I can probably illustrate them as well...yeah hopefully.
