Artistic Goals for the New Year

From my friend Izzy's blog (artist unknown):

New Year Goals illustration by an unknown artist.

My artistic goals for 2012 may be a bit more involved than this, but they're still attainable. Among other things, they include:

  1. Launching a slew of new sections and features to my website that I'm currently working on behind-the-scenes.
  2. Updating my mailing list of publishers, art directors, and other industry pros.
  3. Designing a new promotional postcard and sample packet with my new RI contact information to send to the above mailing list.
  4. Joining a subscription-based online portfolio website like That's My Folio, Childrens Illustrators, and others.
  5. Flexing my illustrator event coordination muscles again, hopefully through the NESCBWI, but independently as well.
  6. Completing the #PBDummy Challenge once and for all!

I'm best motivated by threats and shame, so hold me to it, friends! Have a safe and wonderful New Year!

Good to see things are going so well for you, Christina! Just so you know, we got about four inches of snow last night -- no blizzards or sub-zero cold yet, but I'm sure that's just around the corner! (Does 20-30 mph winds with gusts to 45 count as Minnesota weather? ;-)?) Have a grand new year!

Threats and shame, haha! Nice goals, Lady! Hope you get to watch Batman, too! ;)
