latest promo + portfolio update

This is my latest promo for the children's market, which I sent out as soon as we got back to Canada last month. I also recently updated my website with the new work I created while we were living in Sarajevo (I still haven't posted those pieces on my blog, but they're coming :) Check out my site here.

promo for the children's market

This promo ended up being very time consuming. I started working on it last fall in my free time - coming up with ideas in September, starting to paint the images in November and finally getting it printed a few weeks ago. I've always sent out postcards so I thought I'd try something a bit more involved this time, like a booklet. The folding of this piece is a bit complex and it's taken me about 5 hours to fold 60 of them. I'm pretty happy with how it all came together and I'm hoping it will lead to some new clients. I'll be mailing them this week.

I've been working on a new promo for the work I do in the children's market for several months. It's going to be some sort of booklet (I've been doing postcards for years and wanted to do something a bit more involved). I still have a few more illustrations to do before it's done, but I also also needed a design for the envelope. I painted this today:

new promos and an overdue website update

Since my Concerned Consumer image is currently socially relevant, I decided to use it for my latest promotional postcard. My husband picked them up from the printer's for me on Friday so my weekend project was to update my mailing list, print labels, attach the labels and get the cards in the mail. I also wanted my website updated by the end of the weekend so that if potential clients get the cards and decide to check my site they would be looking at my most recent work. Both the promos and the website have been things I've been wanted to get done for several months now so I feel pretty good about accomplishing both this weekend. You can check out my website here.

Thank you postcards & children's promo

Today I completed 2 things that I had been working on. One was the thank you cards from our wedding. I really should have sent those out sooner (the celebration was almost 3 months ago) but my husband and I are both creative types and we didn't want to just buy regular thank you cards, opting instead to design our own thank you postcards. Since our actual wedding was an elopement and no one was invited, we thought it would be nice to send everyone a photo of us from the wedding. The front of the postcard looked like this:

The back side just had "thank you" printed all over it in a bunch of different fonts. I really like how it turned out. I love typography...

And the other thing that I finished was the promos I made to send to children's book publishers. I loved illustrating that children's book so I'm trying to get some more work in that area.
