Hoe do I market my illustrations?
OOPS! Spelling mistake in my title! Didn't notice till it was too late!
I was a pre-press designer for 10 years, leaving 2 1/2 years ago to have a baby.
I don't want to go back to work full time until my little lad goes to school but I'm going crazy not doing anything creative.
I am told how talented I am and have won awards in Derbyshire, so I know I'm not wasting my time, but I'm not a natural marketeer.
I try to do portraits when I can and spent quite a lot getting postcards and business cards printed.
I've done mailshots to picture framer businessess and I'm getting a steady response in reply , but I would love more advice on where else I could advertise. I have no budget to speak of, but can afford stamps to do mailshots.
I am from the UK, but would mailing to Europe and USA be worth the while? Would getting a Manager be of any use? How would I get work in magazines?
My work is displayed at loukabooga at the uk address. I tried uploading some samples for people to view so they knew what kind of work I want to advertise, but I'm having some trouble!
