I've been admiring ALL my illustrator friends' #artvsartist posts on social media. I have always been of two minds about it:
1- I want to do this!
2- EEK! I am not posting my image and do I even have enough work that I'm proud of etc... self-doubt and imposter syndrome showing up here. Balance that with I've created all this work but I can't show any of it until it's published and... Sigh.
Anyhow this year I decided to kick my uninvited guests self-doubt and imposter syndrome out the door and do it. TAH DAH!!! here's my #artvsartist2022.
It's actually a lovely way to review the year as an illustrator and to celebrate it. My 2022 illustration year started with a focus on my black and white illustrations in hopes of picking up middle grade/chapter book type projects. I also worked on my humans with hopes that they will play nice with my animal illustrations. I even tried some limited palette art which really appealed to my graphic designer side. I have also renewed my interest in Art Licensing and plan to build up a portfolio for that field in 2023.
Here's a fond farewell to 2022. I didn't manage to accomplish everything I wanted to do but there's always the coming year!
Bye Bye 2022 and Hello 2023! Wishing everyone a creative, productive and prosperous New Year!
