I feel as I am getting older and continue see what other artist are doing, sometimes I feel I have been missing out opportunities (Not promoting my work enough?). Maybe because I see them in great magazines, such as Time, Rolling stones, Weekly Standard, or have their art in amazing galleries. I focus my marketing to clients like these, and continue to send post cards and emails in hope to get a hold of the right person and therefore a chance to work with them! I have been approached by the The Workbook, Directory of Illustration, iSpot, and GigMasters, and they all want a major investment which is very hard to fund! (You can now help me on my
Patreon site, to help my journey as an artist)
I really believe these sites and books will help me to be known to these editors and art directors. I get down and out when I do not receive any work sometimes, and once again cant prove to my family that my freelance illustration career can provide. I am thankful for my food service job at Brookdale Senior Living, and currently have an opportunity to have a dining room manager position at Pine crest. Constantly I am grateful for my experiences I have with my clients and I always feel happy to be able to make them successful, and to be able make their dreams come true! Personally I feel as if I have been blessed to be able to create my Illustrations and/or entertain with my live Caricatures because God has given me the talent. I work everyday to improve what I do, and if there is anything I can do to help you grow just shot me a message!
Here is some of my current work for a Save a date Card, Childrens book with Arnie, and Caricature gigs with PhilPhest, US Foods, and Sacred Heart Spring Fest.
Banner Idea to get made soon at a size of 4-8 foot (still working on some of the images are not the right resolution)
The next following Images are sketches for a fun "Save a Date" card for a friend of mine who is getting married and wants an unique Old time classic Sci-Fy style art work done! I am having fun!
I am now typing this while listening in on a Tuesday morning Bible study with my pastor Randy Evans at my church.
We are talking about a Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
~May you lord work thru my heart, and help me create my art and relations with my clients, and friends be pleasing to you my Lord, my Rock and My Redeemer~
