Have been busy working on the official blog for CBIG. As usual nothing is as simple as it seems and it all takes longer than expected. BUT it is up and running and after a S-L-O-W start it is all starting to gell.

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!
