We had a great Maine Illustrators' Collective meeting last night. The Fall Folio Feast is coming along. We are featured in this month's Portcity Life in the Notebook section. Note: The website is wrong (Should be .org. Click the correct link below.) Art buyers from design, web, tv, children's publishing, and magazines have confirmed their attendance. The postcards for illustrators are going out by the end of next week. We looked at various designs and ideas for promotion last night. Postcards were the most talked about method but also tearsheets, booklets, cd roms, and other creative promo ideas. Illustrators--get those portfolios together and sign up today! Go to the Maine Illustrators' Collective website for more info. Now we are talking about stuff like tables and yummy food for the event. Don't miss it.

A new member joined us. Hi Fulton! I learned a lot from his portfolio about how much photoshop can do. I have a lot of messin' around to try.

First day of first grade for my oldest boy. A very happy, hungry, and tired boy got off the bus today. (Kindergarten was half day.) I'll need to have some serious high protien snacks ready for this kiddo.
