@Coreyartus Sounds like fun!
-
Wholeheartedly agree with @chrisaakins, and take this opportunity to also thank this amazing and supportive community. I have learned so much and grateful to call SVS my home for art.

@Julia oh! If I only lived in Paris! Lol
Good luck!

@NessIllustration Wow. Thanx for that.

I wholeheartedly concur with this post and wish I were more helpful! But I will say that this forum has been a consistent place of support for me (and certainly for many others as well) for several years now, and that's really lovely! Thank you all! And thank you, Chris, for starting this thread!
@burvantill I also found SVS via Will's YouTube. It was a fairly random find since in those days I was just Googling illustration left and right, but once I had listened to about three of his videos, I was like, "This guy is really, really helpful and I want to hear anything he has to say!" I think I have learned just about everything I know, especially about business, via SVS.
@Julia In the current COVID world, we can't travel much, and I hate that, but I would love to take a short flight to Paris one day. It's not out of the question!

I'm loving it too.
Thanks for accepting me.The last major community I was in was conceptart dot org.
Anybody remember that?I don't wanna spread negative stuff(in my own thick but thinning head, too).
So, I'll leave it at that.Thanks everyone.
Much love. -
Count me in with agreeing, too. I learn so much from the above mentioned people and I’d also add that these forums are so positive and helpful and kind. I haven’t run into any negativity at all. A rarity in any forum.

Woot Woot! Thanks @chrisaakins for this wonderful post acknowledging and celebrating the continuous support everyone has provided here!
I think we all agree SVS and this forum has impacted our lives in a positive way. I too struggled a lot in my career as a freelance illustrator with no direction or feedback in what I was doing. I also didn't really participate in the forums till a few months after I'd subscribed to SVS and when I finally started, it was like the final piece of the puzzle. I finally felt I belonged somewhere where I could learn and give back as well.
Thank you guys for being so wonderful and I really do hope we get to meet one day!

@LauraA there's a lot of advertising to travel to Italy on the French TV. Maybe I'll come and visit before you take a trip north! Winter on the Italian riviera is appealling...!
In the meantime hip hip hip! for the folks on SVS forum!

@chrisaakins @burvantill thanks guys!
i'm really happy to know that you enjoy my words of encouragement. it really warms my heart. i must admit, most of the time, I really don't know what to say so all I could offer is a compliment. I'm still very new to the business. I feel I lack a lot of life experience being too young and work experience having jumped straight in illustration after college. There's still a lot I have to learn. However, I'm very happy I found SVS tho. I learned a lot from this forum. You guys and everyone in this forum has helped me mature both in art and also as an adult. This forum has done so much for me so I'll never get bored helping our fellow members out
