An Update on my Client List

So all throughout my final year I have been chipping away at this, making notes.. Kicking ass and taking names.

Sure, at first I was being picky but that soon changed, pretty much everything I came across made it into my personal notes somewhere, and I know theres no way and no point of contacting everybody but it may all come in handy some way down the line.

They may not be clients but I have kept in contact with as many guest illustration talkers as i could have for advice on such matters.

But, for this section of the degree, needs must so I had to be picky  with my choices, i would be contacting these people imminentaly, Had to make sure I was what there were looking for, and just as important, there were what I was looking for.. not that im going to be fussy fresh out of college! heck no, ill draw anything for money. 

So to be captain obvious, in regards to what I have been doing this year.. Vehicles and Guitars.. luckily for me, this subject is a gold mine! I have pillegded everything from the library to WHSmiths, taking down the contact details of just about all of them.
