The dead live!!!

I don’t want to dwell upon the fact that TS has been sitting in a ditch for a year or almost that much– because I’ve known all along guiltily that I should do something about it. Let’s be honest here though fellows: the past nine or so months have been a serious revelation to me; I’ve had to rethink my entire business, wonder where I’m going, and start making plans. And in retrospect it was a little presumptuous to post this blog with three years of experience– not that I regret doing so!  But it’s been hard to keep up with and feel like I’m capable of delivering.

So to the scant few that will see this, I want to apologize for letting this blog die. I was inspired last night to dust off the ol’ girl and take a keen look at her. Why? Well, last night I met up with fellow illustrators in Phoenix, under the guise of a meetup group called Tiny Army. (and spearheaded by the awesome Daniel of Steam Crow Press– check his site for handy info!) While it was just our inaugural meeting, I found myself feeling pretty energized and loving illustration again. (Not unlike what happened at APE last year) And as a result the positive vibes and sharing of information led me to want to bust this thing out of its prison.

A bit of a revamp is in order though; I’m going to level with you, I’m no expert. Providing tips only will only get me so far; so I’m going to take this on more of a personal level and document what I’m going through, and hopefully still provide advice and discuss important things as well, and share. Sharing is big, folks– so I hope I can keep doing so. And this is a work in progress, just like my career is, just like we all are– so please offer me suggestions, tell me what you like to hear and what you don’t, and share with me. Maybe in the future this can grow to be a group advice blog, but for right now it’s all on me, so I’ll try and give my point of view and my experiences and hope you’ll all find something worthwhile in it. Baby steps for now.

Thanks everybody!
