This week has been busy and felt very much like a roller coaster ride. It went something like this: I spent 3 days after school working on murals with my co-advisor and students; found out the district has said we are not allowed to do anymore murals on campus; coming up with creative solutions to our mural problem; cutting mats and preparing for our school's art show next week during open house; designing and ordering bookmarks for agent's day; photographing new artwork to update my portfolio; driving the ugliest pinkish- cream colored gas guzzling rental car; found out my best friend will be coming home this weekend and we get hang out; had a fun and successful art club "Fat and Happy" day (what we call our potluck); picking up my car from the repair shop; and lastly, edited and updated my website. Now I just need to get through Friday. I think an IV of coffee might be necessary, or maybe just mint green tea.
Saturday is Agent's Day. This will be the first time I attend this event. I haven't really heard a lot of positive reviews for this event in regards to illustrators. Reading the information on the website and what has been emailed to us, it seems to be more writer oriented. But I believe in giving things a shot. You never know what might happen or who you might meet. I don't really know what to expect, but after adding pieces to my portfolio, receiving my bookmarks in the mail, and fixing my website I'm actually a bit excited to attend. I can already see a difference in my portfolio of my progress.
I still love my pen and colored pencil work, but I enjoy the way my characters look done with watercolor pencils. They look soft and cuddly. I love my original drawings with their black and white backgrounds and colorful characters. I thought it was a unique style that would set me apart from other. But the full color illustrations have begun to win me over.
