Warning, Blatant Self Promotion.
In addition to posting my portfolio on Workbook, I recently signed on to Alt Pick. I'm pretty sure I'm going to sign up with iSpot and Agency Access at some point, and have been actively pursuing a representative, with some success. Somebody's blog somewhere saw the work, and gave me a nice review,
Michael Newhouse specializes in infographic illustrations, particularly maps and diagrams. He does a splendid job at bringing flair to an otherwise boring subject. His logo work is also lovely; be sure to flip through them under the Logos tab.
I've been working hard on the web site, and a general portfolio organization, and it feels like a housecleaning. The site's up now, and still has some tweaks, but the mailings I've been doing are generating a lot of page views. (The whole page view/hit stats are still confusing, but a jump from 100 to 1200 in one day indicates that people are looking at the site after getting my promo.)
In a perfect world, there's a rep or two that present projects that are bigger than my previous stuff, thus increasing my bottom line. I have always been fortunate at the quality of work which I'm asked to do, and I think that's a direct reflection on my clients - art directors and designers that value my contribution, and do great work themselves. Between the two of us, the projects look good and work well. I get a lot of repeat work.
So here, I'll be showing some snippets of my recent work. Enjoy (and comment).
On our recent pilgrimage to the South, I made a run whenever possible to every used bookstore or antique mall (ew, yes, I know, but hey) I could find. Lots of children's books, textbooks, travel ephemera, reference books - you name it, Meta says I bought it.

Since I've bought everything like this in Montana already, I just needed some new stuff.
This should last me a couple of weeks.
