Draw This! BOUNCE

BOUNCE
DRAW THIS!
Something new from
 SCBWI
 "Calling All Illustrators!
We are excited to announce a great new feature for our illustrator members,
 Draw This!: a monthly art prompt that will be part of the new SCBWI Insider.
 Members will have the opportunity each month to show their artwork in the online gallery and two pieces will be featured in the email itself.
The online gallery will be open to public viewing, so agents, art directors and editors have yet another way of finding our illustrators.
  The June 2015 Draw This! prompt word is: Bounce Deadline for the June Draw This! is May 25 Tweet, Facebook and Instagram your submissions! Tag your art #scbwidrawthis"
 
Well of course I did it, I kept it simple and focused on the word.

Postcards work!

Postcards work!
 I woke up on Sunday morning to an email from one of the publishers
I am interested in working with.
 
"I will keep you in mind for future projects that may suit your style. Until then, I wish you continued success.
We are going paperless, so help us save trees by NOT adding me to your snail mail list. Snail mail art samples will be discarded.
Instead, please send me an occasional email to
editor(at)Blank Publisher(dot)com when you update your website, or email me a lo-res jpg every few months."
  
 I know this does not mean I am going to get "the call" today or even this month/year.
But it does say stay in touch.
 
 
All because of a postcard, so pick a postcard any postcard.
