          @Valerie-Light I looked at your website and noticed that your Storm and your treehouse pieces are not in your portfolio yet. I would definitely put them in. They are really great!

            @Valerie-Light I also feel a bit intimidated with doing a book and everything that goes with it 😂. Thanks for asking this question.

              @Kim-Rosenlof Yes! if I'd known the guys were directing traffic my way I would've spruced things up a bit first! I looked at my Wix traffic report this morning, saw 300+ hits, and thought "am I suddenly famous?"

              EDIT: i've just done a quick refresh on my website and I'm already feeling way better about it. So, to anyone who listens to this episode after now: you'll be getting a different impression than the 3PP hosts did. Hope you like it!

                @Jake-Parker Hi everyone, I forgot that we could discuss each episode here so I left my comment at YouTube. I'm José, the one with the question regarding self publishing. I completely agree with the things the guys pointed out but I was hoping they hadn't seen the new work I started producing after a portfolio review with an art director (a month after sending my question) because I felt it was kind of a big leap for me.

                Thank you Jake, Lee and Will

                  @Jose-A-Nieto congrats, Jose! Your work reads as cheerful, cute, and clear to me. Really solid stuff. What are you working on right now?

                    @Jose-A-Nieto Your work looks really good! Nice to see a fellow Venezuelan in the forum :D. I thought I was he only one 😂.

                      @Valerie-Light Thank you Valerie, I really appreciate your comment. I'm slowly working on new portfolio pieces and waiting for a response to several emails I sent to art directors and reps

                      How about you?

                        @Jose-A-Nieto Thanks Jose! I'm mostly focused on portfolio building and contests right now, and trying to hone my style to be a bit more consistent before I try marketing. I might try to do a portfolio review soon, but I haven't decided where yet.
