Tips for your blog


It would be good to see you posting your own work on here too James. Try to be more expansive in your comments when you post an image. Always try to link posts back to your own practice rather than just because you like it. How is it impacting on your work ?

Don't forget to use your blog to document correspondence with people in industry, see if you can get hold of some of the people whose work you have been trailing, show that you are engaged with current issues in the profession by reading journals / magazines and document what is relevant to you and how this research is helping you think about your place in the industry.

Keep up to date with reviews of guest lectures such as Gillain Blease, this should be thorough, follow up some of the leads that she gave of her influences, explain how she got a foot on the ladder as an illustrator, how she promotes her work and how she has diversified.

Have a look at
www.illustrationmundo.com (your old friend Nate Williams is heavily involved in this) or www.theaoi. com for up to date news and more insightful comments on the work of others'.
