Welcome to the place for you to read about my experiences as a freelancer in finding, and hopefully getting (fingers crossed), work.

Pratt Show!

After being selected for the Pratt Show, I had the unenviable task of preparing for the Pratt Show. The weekend prior to the show was full of printing and prepping my prints for presentation. The only major problem I ran into during the whole process was that my business cards were a day late, even though I ordered them the day after I got into the show! I improvised by picking up a couple sheets of business card paper and printed them in Imaging. Luckily the cards and promos came in the next day and I was able to put them up for family night. When I came in the next day everything I'd set out was gone!

At the show I met the Senior Art Director for Dell Magazine and gave her my card. Surprisingly she was there pretty early in the afternoon. I also met several other prospective clients and was recently contacted by someone who'd seen my stuff when I wasn't even there! All-in-all I'd say it was worth the hectic weekend leading up to the festivities. Several of my friends have already been hired by contacts made at the show and one is even doing work for Cartoon Network!!
