My last appointment of the day. I met up with art director Jean of hr mag. He is launching a new magazine and wants fresh art work. He was quite impressed with my work and said he can see it in his magazine. He said there will be work available very soon for me and therefore he wanted me to keep in touch. It is looking promising and I am hoping for the best.

Its been a great experience meeting various art directors and listening to their advise and I do hope I can break in to this very competitive market in the near future.

Probably my most successful appointment yet. Judy was the art director whom I had spoken to.

One of the recent illustrators i have come across. I like how he handles textures and shapes together. The space is balanced well which is something I work with in my compositions.
