Craving to show my gratitude!

I've been neglecting my blog for quite a while now. The reason is that I'm in school again - an 8 week course on writing a business plan -- my business being freelance illustration, natch.

Part of this course has us doing market research by calling those in the industry. I won't name names as I think this stuff is supposed to stay confidential, but a shout out to those who were so friendly as to help me out. I feel so lucky to be in such a supportive and fraternal (is "fraternal" inclusive of females? I'll have to look that up...) industry.

As of this posting I'm halfway through the course so hopefully I can start posting more regularly soon!

ps.
For those Illustration Friday-ers stopping by I offer my sincere apologies on the cop out on this weeks theme. I hate it when people do that!

  2. no... thank you!!!! And I mean it. You didn't call me (didn't have to, I'm not really IN the industry quite yet ;o) but I'm one of those IF-ers, and hey! I don't mind getting a thankful shout even if it's not directly related to the weekly "craving".

    All the best!
