2024 was a year of rejection for me.

I tried to find an agency, improve my portfolio, even took a mentorship. I thought my portfolio was ready, but I got rejected again. "It's not our style", "we don't have a perfect match" and so on. Something always wrong. To be honest, I've just about given up.

I haven't been here for quite some time! I think I'm REALLY tired of social media, as an illustrator I try to post my work everywhere. But ✨surprise✨ just posting drawings doesn't seem to work anymore. You need to create content that will be promoted by algorithms ⬇️

Today Novak Djokovic became an Olympic champion and I think this is time for post this little girl! Maybe she dreams to get her 🥇 too one day 🥰

Illustrators, I’ve been crafting some custom feeds using blueskyfeedcreator.com. User-made feeds is one of most powerful ideas here. Here's one that is meant to be just illustration. Not gallery art, or design, or lettering. Still training it!

Enjoy!

I started to post my illustrations as greeting cards on Thortful. Any tips or advice on how to promote postcards there?✨

#Illustrators, who has ever looked for representation through an agency and found it - how long did it take you? I made my second newsletter to agencies and I feel very anxious 🥺 #kidlitart
