I have been busy exhibiting my illustration work at New Designers in London, which received positive responses, especially for our University in particular out of the many Illustration graduates that exhibited there.
I have now finished building my website – www.helendblackbird.co.uk
where there are pages for fine art work and Illustration….
I have a new proposal for a new series of dolls that I wish to make. I need to source funding for this project, and if anyone would like to know what it involves, it is on the website@
http://www.helendblackbird.co.uk/Fine_Art.html
Aside from that, I've been looking for any opportunities I can get as an artist and/or illustrator, but it seems that everything involves investing money that I just don't have. I regard myself as a producer, NOT a consumer, and will not pay to join any artist's groups until I get paid / funding for what I do.
I need to be earning money for my work – I do not have parents to go home to, I have bills to pay and kids to feed….. and it's been over a month since I finished University and so far I've not had any luck :-(
