I've just updated my AOI Portfolio. Fingers crossed that this will encourage more commissions. I was horrified to see that I hadn't updated my change of email address. I can only wonder how many people had contacted me about work. Big mistake! All changed now.
My next mission is to complete my new picture book idea and make a couple of mock up books to send off to agents and publishers. I hope this is my year!
I also need to begin to send off mailers to potential clients. I need to stop thinking I'm not ready. I have a book coming out in September so why do I still feel that i'm not good enough yet?????
I have sat looking at other illustrator's work seeing all their commissions and books and just want that to be me. If other people can earn a living drawing and getting books published then surely I have a chance. I should feel inspired not down in the dumps!

Cute party illustration!! I like it.
You should feel inspired. You have your first book commission, other smaller commissions, and great talent to top it all off!
Success won't happen overnight, but I have no doubts that it will happen for you, all in it's own time. :)
Sarah - Yes, you should feel inspired. You are already there, if you ask me! Your book looks very fun..all your work is wonderful, keep at it!
Your illustrations are colorfully fun pieces of inspiration! I am glad I found your blog!
Your work is awesome. Throw a big bucket of water over your head when the little meanie bug in your ear starts chirping. Cold showers work, too but are less messy.
;)
AWESOME ILLO!!!!
