Hey Suzy, just looking at your images with the shoes and the cups. Those are really marketable. Have you ever looked into doing surface design work. (or perhaps you already do?) Anyway I've seen this kind of stuff on folders, pillow cases, mugs, all kinds of products. That may be a market worth looking into.
-
@Suzy-Heitz Definitely, agree with William. I have also seen a lot of editorial illustration with your style - may be worth contacting fashion magazines and other lifestyle publications (I have seen illustration of this type for example on the in flight magazines of airlines).

@smceccarelli @evilrobot Thanks so much for your comments! I have always loved patterned items like fabric, wrapping paper, etc. and have wondered about how to get into that market. I'm finding I really enjoy editorial too. I'm really working hard to find my line and be consistent ; am working to get my portfolio in line too. I've got to get a website and proper files for upload. Lee's business class really gave me such good ideas. And along with all I'm learning with SVS, I hope to have some market-worthy items soon. Thanks again for your encouragement!

@Suzy-Heitz You may want to check out the Surtex convention: http://www.surtex.com/
It is the prime marketplace for surface design (textiles, etc...). I have no idea how this market works, but there are lots of resources and even books about it: just google "Art licensing". I had a whole module about this in one of my business classes for artists...and that is the whole extent of my knowledge
-
Lovely work! Check out Jennifer Nelson and Lilla Rogers for more info on licensing your work. Good luck X

Here's a trip into Savannah, GA. It isn't for any particular assignment, I just feel like I should be doing some sort of journaling. Hope it's not too boring for you young folk. hehe

@Suzy-Heitz I love your journaling - thanks for continuing to share these!

@Suzy-Heitz These are wonderful and inspiring, not boring! Please keep sharing!

My mom's birthday was yesterday. She passed away December 2014. Holidays are still hard.
