Well, it&#8217;s the artwork I created for the new look. You can visit the web site to see the actual new look. I know some of you read my posts at other places like LiveJournal and Facebook. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n<p>One of the things a freelance illustrator must cultivate is patience. Publishing is a very slow business. Things take a really long time to happen. My first book took me 5 years to find a publisher. And I was revising and changing the entire five years!<\/p>\n<p>In mid 2009, I submitted several pieces of art to the Society Of Children&#8217;s Book Writers and Illustrators Bulletin. It&#8217;s an international publication and in the world of children&#8217;s book publishing pretty important. I waited until this weekend to see my first piece published in the current issue. Needless to say, I am thrilled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1368\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/new-look-art-published-and-a-creature\/scbwi-tearsheet-pg41\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"259,328\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41-236x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1368\" title=\"SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41-118x150.jpg\" alt=\"tear sheet from SCBWI Bulletin jan-feb 2011\" width=\"118\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/SCBWI-tearsheet-pg41.jpg 259w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 118px) 100vw, 118px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And last but not least.
