Hello All!!
I hope everyone has had a safe new year so far...
I figured I post an update on how things are going so far since its been a few months ...oops haha
lets see, I finished my first assignment for Halo Publishing International !!!
I was the illustrator for Smarty Pig, a cute story by Molly Nero, about a group of piggies who learn to love to study after a few F's on their report cards, you can find the book here: http://www.halopublishing.com/bookstore/Smarty-Pig?filter_name=smarty pig&filter_description=true&filter_category_id=194
I received my copies in the mail a few days ago and they looked awesome! It's funny how excited I get when I see my illustrations in book form.
And speaking of Smarty Pig, I am actually working on the second book which I'll keep everyone one updated on.
I'm also working with my good friend Jacob Drake creating story boards for his movie, which is fun for the both of us,we've been wanting to work together for a while, neither of us had the time til now :3
I've also been uploading new prints to my society6.com shop which can be found here: http://society6.com/MoniqueTurchan, I experiment with more graphic/ stylized illustrations mostly using pen and ink.
I've also posted a few new things on both my portfolio websites:
http://moniqueturchan.daportfolio.com/ and
http://moniqueturchan.carbonmade.com/
My hopes and out look for 2012:
~get a full time job in the art field at company creating awesome illustrations.
~hopefully have a nice pace of freelance jobs coming in.
~buying more supplies...like my copic markers...I want the big set with all the pretty colors...
~having a steady income to pay off my student loans....(winning the lotto wouldn't be a bad idea either haha)
well those are the main ones so far.
That's about it for now, til next time.
~Monique <3
