I have been working as a designer for 17 years doing odd bits of illustration but I am just about to go full on into trying to get my illustration 'career' on the move this year (I'm really old - 38!) www.heidisturgess.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-952055830294250342007-01-22T18:40:00.000-05:002007-01-22T18:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm telling them to pick and choose the ones they'd like to answer -- not wanting to take up too much of their time. If anyone has other questions I should add, please post them here. I'd love any input ya'll have to offer. <br /><br />* Where did you go to school and how do you feel they prepared you for your career, both artistically and in business?<br /><br />* What has been your biggest challenge post graduation?<br /><br />* What where some of your successful, or unsuccessful, early promotions?<br /><br />* What do you feel is your biggest hurdle in getting commissions?<br /><br />* Do you feel as though you've had your first "break" yet? <br /><br />* Do you have a clear idea where you'd like to be in five years?<br /><br /> * Any advice to students still in school?Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-30761861038159033242007-01-22T18:23:00.000-05:002007-01-22T18:23:00.000-05:00Extremely informative.

I was going to link to your John Harris and John Berkey post, but I wanted to wait until I can see if I can pull a quote from the appreciation that Vin Di Fate wrote for Berkey’s Hall of Fame induction. I’ll get to it early next week (at the moment I am blissfully upstate New York and far away from research) but for anyone reading these comments, check out:<br /><br />http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/?p=597Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-36785506534301369102007-01-21T17:58:00.000-05:002007-01-21T17:58:00.000-05:00Wow!
