mailers

I am at an awkward position where I realise, I do not wholly know where my work sits. I'm still not drawn into the temptation of limiting myself to less areas, or methods, but do long that it would potentially be easier to work in that way.

I have sent 10 physical mailers, starting quite big to places I would very much like to see my work. I included agencies, (quite big ones at that), and understand that while they might not be interested right now I would also like to make them aware of me, as such. 

I'm holding back a little in regards to children's illustration, until I can publish my work for the Carmelite prize (should I not place). I'm not sure what to expect from this, but hope it is more effective than emails (that will perhaps follow these up afterwards). 

It's essentially... friendly pestering. Always polite.

In each envelope I posted a print, a hand written note with a drawing on the back side, trying to make it relevant to each place. I also wrote a little more to Cox and Brakus, as they are people I have met before and I wanted to make a note of that! I also mentioned my frequent stops to London over the coming months, and should they wish to chat in person that I would be more than happy to.  

• Heart
• Ben Cox @ CIA
• Dutch Uncle
• Big Active
• The Guardian
• Tate Publishing
• New Scientist
• Phaidon
• Transworld 
• Gerry Brakus @ New Statesman

Just a small selection to start! (I don't have the envelopes...)

I'm also selling these prints! More money, mostly going back into funding their printing and sending to art directors at this point. I hope to also sell these at ELCAF.
