Life of an Illustrator: March Vlog - when you don't follow your own advice, portfolio prep for bologna, and update

March 11, 2018 Romica Spiegl

Hello, 

want to know how I prepare my portfolio for Bologna Children's book fair? In this video, I will share with you my thoughts on my portfolio, see me working on some new pieces for the fair, and get a little glimpse into my week as an illustrator. I clearly feel most comfortable in the picture book market so I can't describe to you how excited and how nervous I'm getting as the fair draws closer. I will also go to Paris for a business conference and networking event for young professionals and ... I will give a talk about following your passion despite fear. Aaaah.

There are a lot of things that still need to be prepared for my promotional material (postcards, portfolio, etc.) but I hope to get the most time-sensitive things done before tomorrow Monday.

I really hope you enjoyed the video, and if you did please give it a thumbs up. It really helps the video to be found by other wonderful people like you.

Stay joyful,
Romica
