Promotion

About ninety percent of the job of an illustrator is self-promotion. Thankfully the last couple of years I have agents who do that for me in exchange for cuts from my pay. Usually the agency has about 30 other artists they represent, so once in a while I'll send out my own postcard in addition to their promotion efforts to try to stand out from the pack. Here's my recent fall postcard - 500 of them will make their way to various publishers all around the globe.

On the gaming front, my internet connection seems to getting worse and worse every month. And upon calling Cox, they said, in effect, "you're having trouble with Xbox live because we don't support gaming in your area - DUH!" With a smile and polite goodbye, I got right to researching Verizon FIOS - with their phone/TV/internet package I'll be saving 60 bucks a month. Fair-thee-well Cox. It's been horrible and frustrating being your costumer.

Just noticed your artwork from this and previous blogs. Do I own anything you have illustrated? Cuz your stuff definitely looks like the books I have been reading with my son.

I love your work: I do a mean stick figure if you want to do a collaboration: crayola is my medium ;-)
