post six

What sort of an illustrator are you? a burgeoning children's book illustrator and author.
What sort of career do you want to have? see above/ one that means i can eventually quit my day job,  take up an overstuffed-armchair, grandpa's pipe-smoking side project. maybe i'll hit upon the perfect synthesis of childrens' illustration & adults' hypnosis.
Does your present body of work reflect your aspirations? Could it do so more strongly? probably more than i'd like it to. these things need to be handled gently. strongly/subtly. i'm in the computer lab & everyone seems to be angry, rushing around & shouting. does my art communicate that i am a girl who someday would like her own internet access?
List ten images/themes/techniques/subjects/formats that your portfolio needs in order to become more in line with your aspirations. 
topical, coherent work with quiet commentary on modern issues.
relaxed & organic hand, larger scale work.
mythological themes.
philosophical themes.
journalistic elements.
more attention to contemporary design.
better control of digital design systems.
more books! more books! more books!
more books!
