Here is some work that I recently did for a client. This is a fun client since she works in the fashion/retail industry. The first version has the print skirt and the revised version has the brown skirt, there were a lot of other small changes, we call them "tweaks". I like to see them side by side.

I am very excited about the future and my freelancing. I have been hearing a lot of bad news about the economy as I am sure everyone has...but for some reason deep down I think this is going to be my best year yet. I am happy with the direction of my art, I like the work I am getting. I would like to do more books and I have determined that I am going to concentrate on licensing my art this year. I saw spot on the national news about how one unemployed man is taking the time to reeducate himself instead of endless job searching. I am certainly not out of work but I think you can be so fearful of what you hear on TV and from other people and colleagues that it can paralyze you. I guess I am truly am a "prisoner of hope" as the saying goes. I gabbed with my girlfriend Janet Montecalvo the other day and she had the same good attitude. It was refreshing to talk with someone who was positive!! Thanks Janet!
