For me, if something looks "mass market", I could see it as a Saturday morning cartoon, or a cereal commercial, or something. Dora the Explorer, for example, as compared to Where the Wild Things Are. There's a whole spectrum of books that fall somewhere in between those two examples and it's up to the illustrator, and the publisher, to decide how commercial is TOO commercial.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545459610401140475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436340755679439025.post-37789068987552361062010-06-10T21:45:44.012-07:002010-06-10T21:45:44.012-07:00Hi!

I've heard the phrase "too mass-market" before, but I'm not really sure what that means in regards to illustration style. Could you explain it a little more?Lynn Alperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880258915154701527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436340755679439025.post-9162429797452810562010-06-10T20:03:02.702-07:002010-06-10T20:03:02.702-07:00Thanks!

I feel like that's one of the big highlights of the group. It's a good time to mingle with authors/illustrators in your community, and to hear words of wisdom from editors, agents, art directors, etc. <br /><br />I should have mentioned- tear sheets are another option if you feel that one postcard isn't sufficient to display your work. The problems with tear sheets are 1) more money (to make and to mail), and b) I, at least, always got somewhat annoyed with tear sheets because it was an extra envelope to open. Sounds lazy, but when I was going through a basket of postcards on my lunch break, it didn't take much to set me off.<br /><br />I actually think it's a really good idea to print off a few different postcards. You can send them off every few months & keep your work fresh in publishers' minds, and you never know which image might strike a chord or fill a void for a certain editor/art director.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545459610401140475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436340755679439025.post-42700734625764069462010-06-10T10:35:56.734-07:002010-06-10T10:35:56.734-07:00I didn't get much out of a year's subscrip...I didn't get much out of a year's subscription to SCWBI but I did get a lot out of your post. I illustrate in a large variety of styles and mediums. One postcard will not capture my capabilites. The website does. I expected people to check out my site upon receiving a postcard but now I see there's decisions made before a website is seen... Which means to me I have to print out a bunch of different postcards to show people the variety of my styles.Alex Sacuihttp://nosepilot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436340755679439025.post-84348753059709178532010-06-10T10:14:38.507-07:002010-06-10T10:14:38.507-07:00This is really a good article on how to get notice...This is really a good article on how to get noticed and someday get published.
