Earlier this year, around February, I picked up the 2010 version. I flipped through it, and it sat on the bookshelf the rest of the year. Sometime around October I finally dusted it off and started highlighting and sticking post-it notes on various pages. But I realized I was too late. I started contacting some of the people and places listed and found them to no longer be accepting or were simply defunct.
This year, I plan to be more proactive. So I picked up the newest book, and have already started noting specific places of interest. I've cross-referenced the listings I contacted earlier this month from the old book that are still listed, and have marked several others of note. I've used these books in the past with other endeavors and have found it to be a valuable tool. Now let's see how much I actually use it! ...Stay tuned
Here is the link to the book's
website.
According to their website:
I'm interested in submitting my artwork to this magazine. They are currently running a contest, and the winners will appear in the magazine. I have until Dec 17, 2010 to get my butt in gear and submit some pieces. I've seen the magazine at Border's and there is a nice collection of artwork within the pages. Now I have to figure out which images to submit, I'm thinking of sending them 4 images.
New artwork was recently posted. You can purchase standard prints through the website HERE, or you may choose to have the artwork displayed on canvas through my affiliation with Imagekind HERE.
To get things going, this blog will be my personal journal for my artwork. I will be updating with checklists and personal "to-do" lists to help keep me on track with pursuing my goal of becoming a successful artist ...and not a starving artist.
