I have been taking the ‘Assignment Bootcamp’ course on @makeartthatsells. This is the March assignment, a Journal Cover :D I thoroughly enjoyed working on it; explored and used new colours. The gallery is open on MATS website, you can view many more beautiful covers by other artists. This cover design is available for licensing. #journal #journalcover #illustration #matsassignmentbootcamp2021 #matsassignmentbootcamp #lettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CM525O1J3Lb/?igshid=113c6hpet3a2p

Today I signed up for #matsassignmentbootcamp2021 and as I joined the last minute, I did the #matsprep first. It’s a free exercise from lovely @lillarogers you should definitely try, this color palette is very surprising. Cool cool cool! So excited for this! #makeartthatsells #matsassignmentbootcamp #matsbootcamp #matsprep2021 #color #creativity https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7HCS6r1rs/?igshid=1q1pdz6bghsm

I finally finished my first Make Art That Sells assignment but missed the deadline! Oops, oh well. I'm still proud of what I was able to achieve though, having had no idea where to start and with the time limit that I gave myself. The assignment was to illustrate the contents of someone's bag (I got Rachel Maddow) and make it into a children's book cover. Since she is a comic book nerd I decided to make her the super hero of her own children's book. I also found out that she loves fishing, drives a Ford truck, keeps a large candy drawer in her office, has been a long-time supporter of ACT UP, and has two dogs (ergo: dog treats). I was unsure of whether or not she'd keep make up in her bag, but I think she probably needs to do a little bit for her job as a TV News Anchor 😇
