Oh, you’re gonna love this…

The common denominator at the foundation of this newsletter lies somewhere between:

• Sharing what I’ve learned so far in my career as a commercial illustrator, with plenty of smart sounding, insight-y stuff. Thoughts on where it was and where it’s going, that sort of thing. And…

• Probably overanalyzing what right and wrong steps I’ve taken along the way. I’ll probably drop this part eventually- it sounds depressing!

More importantly (I think), I regularly share behind the scenes sketches, process drawings, final art, etc, all while offering my personal illustration industry mucketty-muck yabberings, demos and insights, all delivered in a smart sounding and insight-y fashion.

Drawing (get it??) on my 30+ years experience as a fancy-pants freelance illustrator, this is where I’m documenting my journey keeping up with this mind-numbingly fast changing industry I’ve had the luck be a part of. Peppered in throughout are my thoughts on what’s new, what’s old and what has & hasn’t stayed the same. All while using easily 3x as many words as necessary.

As if that wasn’t enough excitement, these semi-regular postings on the fast paced, glamorous world of commercial illustration will regularly incorporate anything and everything I think might might be useful or entertaining to likeminded artsty-fartsy types, from newbies to seasoned professionals, or those with merely an artistic morbid curiosity. Illustration process walkthroughs, thumbnails, sketches, to demos, videos, to any and all the things similar I wish had been available (and so easily accessible!) to me as a young, wanna-be artist at the dawn of a career. A career whose eventual success there was absolutely no doubt of, regardless of the lack of any navigational clues to speak of.

I do hope you enjoy! Feedback is always welcome, especially when applied with a grain of salt!

Ok, back to being verbose…
