Art isn't anything new to me but a thought occurred to me while on the "Job Hunt" A whole lot of friends and family have been on me about getting my art work published and making my art talent a career, not just a hobby. I have to admit, these last few times, I wanted to take the "Easy " road and just work a retail job.
Getting the rash and all the trouble I had working for Kroger was like "Ok, you aren't doing this again!"
Filling out applications has to be done online anymore, so I have been hitting the computer hard, trying to come up with companies who wanted artwork because after all, "If I was going to find something in art..I just had to get out there and try again." It took me awhile but finally, I typed up the right wording to give my search engine something to work with.
Years ago before my husband passed , my sister let me borrow a book called "Children's Writers And Illustrators Market" A book dedicated to help find companies that buy freelance writings and illustrations. I had forgotten all about it after I gave the book back to my sister. This week I found the 2014 version of this book and "The 2014 Artist's And Graphic Designer's Market" from Amazon. So I ordered them.
I know its going to be a long haul and a great deal of hard work to get it rolling. I hope I have paid enough dues to get to this point after all these years and I pray that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel of success. I just can't give up again, not this time.
Can't wait to dive into these books!
