I got an exciting voicemail the other day from the editor of The Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market. They are wanting to feature me in their 2006 edition. She read my Becoming An Illustrator journal and would like to include my journey in their book,. Pretty cool huh? I've gotten their books (this one as well as The Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market) for years. If you all have never picked up a copy, do so. They are packed full of helpful tips as well as addresses and submissions to companies who rely on freelance Graphic Designers and Illustrators to make their products pop. It is a very good investment.

Thanks to those who have emailed me so far about wanting to swap. I will begin work in those today as well as my softie for A Month of Softies (June's theme is "June Bug"). I finally have a little free time after being so busy since I left my corporate job about a month ago. I actually took a nap on Friday while the woog was napping. I've been waiting all month to do that!
