Spring 2011 Postcard mailer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I started this a while ago and have been chipping away at it for several weeks in between other projects.<\/p>\n

One of the problems of being a freelance illustrator is that when you are busy with paying work, you don’t have time for self promotion. Since I have taken this year off from book touring for health reasons, I have suddenly found “extra” time I haven’t had in the last 5 years of traveling across the country.<\/p>\n

Until you are actually doing it, you have no idea how incredibly draining constant travel can be. But that is another story all together.<\/p>\n

Since I now have all kinds of gobs of time (insert maniacal laughter here) I have ramped up my artistic output. Along with moving my coloring page schedule from monthly to weekly, I am also renewing my self promotional efforts. Part two of this plan was (and is) to create and mail a quarterly postcard.<\/p>\n

This brave heroine on her trusty steed is the first promo piece to be completed in 2011.<\/p>\n

There will be some black and white line work on the reverse side of the postcard. The address side. I just have to decide which of my pieces I want to include.<\/p>\n

I had fun with this, I hope it shows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
