Did you draw your av? I like it. (I'm guesing you drew it bc I've seen some of your other illustrations) I think you have a great cool and unique style. You don't work in design or illustration do you? Have you tried to go professional with your illustrations?

I have this children's book- Mazy takes a bath. The illustrations are uber-simplistic, I certainly don't see what the fuss is- but my baby likes it. Anyway, there's a thing in the back were the author/illustrator talks about herself a bit and she says the illustrations come first and then she creates the story around them.

I really think that you could be an awsome children's book writer/illustrator (If you are at all interested in that area). BTW- I don't mean to say that your illustrations are simplistic, because I think they are awsom on detail, but that I think they are cuter than much that is already making big bucks in the field.

Have you ever submitted or considered submitting your pictures to a children's book publisher? I think they would be intrieged...

Thank you! That's so sweet! Oh my, I'm getting all moved here...

Yes, I made the pic myself - just a little funny thing to celebrate my driver's license. I can do much better.

I'd love to be an illustrator - for children's books, novels, short stories, anything! I love to create computer graphics, and I like to draw. I've become obsessed with manga lately, so my graphite drawings have that quality to them.

I'll check into this area, definitely. I need a new job anyway, and what could be better than making money on something you LIKE doing?

*hugs sweetnpetite*

Thank you!

Thank you!

cool

when you're a billionair, send me a couple thou- ok

I wish you luck and success. I really think you have the tallent. And you're a story teller too, so it all goes together quite nicely. I think retellings of folk tales are popular children's book themes. (hint hint) There's a lot of interesting ground to mine there too. Do be sure to publish in America. Which reminds me, check out Highlights for Children (on the web) submission guidelines. A friend of mine used to publish their quite a bit. If you can write to their style, I think they will love you're work. They are a great short story market, and they pay well too. (It always helps to have some published clips when going after the big book deals)

Children's stories, eh? Hmmm... but then I'd have to tone down the smut, no?

I guess that would be a good idea! :O

I hate threads about peoples' AVs that don't make sense because people change their avatars more often that they change their underwear.

Perhaps you could attach the AV this thread is about for those of us who have no idea what it looked like now that you've change to a dancing devil?

Agreed.

While you're at it, why not post a link to some of your other artwork so we can all go look and then tell you how good it is?

PS- I mentioned in an earlier post about some illustrations in a popular preschool book/cartoon series. If you've never heard of maisy, here are a couple of links to show you what I was talking about.

The cute simplicity is starting to grow on me, but I still think your art work is better.

sweetnpetite- posting as Amy Sweet.

*does happy dance*

Ooooh, I'm all excited here! OK, I'll set up a site with my art tomorrow evening, when I get home - I'm at my parents right now.

Until then, you can find some art at the Dolls section of my homepage.
