There’s a really cool website for Illustrators called, “Illustration Friday,” which posits a new topic every week, generally in the form of a single word; The instructions are simple: to create “An illustration of your interpretation of the topic.” The word for this week is, “Duet” and here’s my interpretation:
My purpose for creating these images, joining the competition, if you will, is manifold, not the least of which is to keep in the habit of producing art, keeping my skills up-to-date. One of the other motivating factors, however, is to continue to challenge my students, modeling for them another way to showcase their artwork. This not only helps me maintain credibility, but also markets my work as well.
Not to mention, getting my name “out there” to potentially get some freelance work for the summer, when I’ll have all that “free time” on my hands.
I also added a page to my site called, “Illustration,” as one of the parameters of submitting illustrations for Illustration Friday.
