Thanks Sarah for the helping me with uploading imgaes!
I guess I found it the first time I posted works for the RIC show. So here are a few wet pastel practice samples. They are not illustrations. They are from various photo images like Mucha, news photos etc etc. Just for practice and to use the value pattern business form the illustration academy.

Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
Base the success of your entire career on one project.
Stick with what you know.
Undervalue your expertise
Let money dictate what you do.
Bow to Societal Pressures.
Only do work that your family would love.
Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

thank you, Starbuck!

Try to do the Illustration Academy assignments, or at least the idea-making and thumbnail part of it. Experiment, try something new, push yourself. Also use this time to catch up on old projects if you want!
