Springboard Finish




Hey folks,

Sorry it took me a while to get this one out. I'm on hiatus this week in addition to a couple days last week in which to move my family of five and all our stuff to a new house (I never knew we had so much junk -- any parent out there would know exactly what I'm talking about.) I had intended to post sooner, but the computer was off-line for an unforeseen extended period of time.

Unfortunately, this break also means that I won't be posting anything for the Herd's season finale' against Alabama-Birmingham -- a team I like to deal with, because dragons can be fun.
Regardless of the Herd's season coming to an end, I will continue writing and sharing illustrative opportunities with you -- it could prove more insightful, as I'll show you how to look for opportunities, and every illustrators dream -- how to make your own assignment. And how I do caricatures of various celebrities.

So, we'll just have to see where this leads us.
