Just finished mailing the last of my 3 Friends Promo Postcards. Hope it directs more traffic to my website and an assignment or 2 would be welcome indeed. See my blog, dtdelosh.blogspot.com, The Illustratère Hare, entry: Thurs April 10, 2008 for the process behind the card.

Attended the SCBWI NYC Illustrator's Conference with portfolio showing in "The Portfolio Room." Generally a good networking experience. I'm not sure what will come of the portfolio room. It's hard to tell who looked and who was there. Wish I could be a fly on the Portfolio Room wall!
On a sad note the future of this conference maybe in jeopardy due to poor attendence and competition from the Mid-winter NYC SCBWI conference. Hope this conference lives on as the mid-winter conference is mucho $$$$ and not an equivalent.

Started a blog about my artventures - The Hare Illustratère.
The 1st item is my Illustration post for the word: Garden on Illustration Friday.
• But the big news is that I finally found a place to post my very nifty store widgets and banners - YAY!
