It's been a hoot, looking through years of artwork jpegs in order to assemble samples for a new site (thanks for the help, babe!). Recently, I've questioned my abilities, wondering if illustration was in fact the direction I should continue to pursue. I tend to be very tough on my own work; out of the hundreds of jpegs I perused, only a couple dozen were good enough (in my eyes) to act as a showcase for my abilities.
On the flip side, I came across several pieces that I found strong and well crafted, a source of inspiration and motivation.
I realize that many assignments aren't great because my heart wasn't in them; it's a huge challenge to find work that is appealling or interesting for any creative person. That's why it probably makes sense to self-publish my own concepts, become my own boss.
One step at a time...
