It’s been a while since my last post (far too much of a while, to be quite honest), and that was never my intention. Believe me. Quite a lot has happened between then and now, both career-wise and health wise. To be honest, it was these aspects in tandem that made me be MIA for so long. The best place to start any story is at the beginning, so let’s get going.

My Brief Career as an Editorial Illustrator
Today, most of my work so far has been in children’s illustration. For a while, though, I had worked as an editorial illustrator. Was it for a major newspaper, read far and wide by the Jamaican masses?
Yes…and no.
In this post, I’ll explain
-
how I got started,
-
the topics I tended to cover, and
-
my general experience producing editorial illustrations for a teen newspaper.
I’ve also updated this post to include a bonus link to “How to Hire an Illustrator“, with great tips for potential clients and aspiring illustrators alike.
