Website!

I now, finally, have a website!
There's no more on it at present than my portfolio you saw before. I'll do more work on it over time. But at least it's there, with its own address: kirstymca.co.uk

The women

Character sheet of Jesus' women disciples.

Just done in pencil, as this actual picture won't be used - it's just a reference for me. Like the men, I have based them on what we actually know about them, what we can  guess from what we know - and a great deal of imagination.

I'm assuming Mary Magdalene is Martha's sister Mary. There are arguments both for and against, but in the end I had to make a decision, and those two Marys seem similar in character. I'm assuming 'the other Mary' is both Mary the wife of Cleopas and the mother of James & Joses. And I'm assuming Salome is James & John's mother.

A brand new portfolio

I still have the old one, on the Association of Illustrators. But I now have a new one on Hire an Illustrator.

I like this one because I can choose what order the pictures go in. Also, I can have more pictures. And it's just easier to use.

Updated Portfolio

I've updated my portfolio.

Instead of about five different styles, I only now have two. I realised from looking at others' portfolios, that the ones that stick in your mind are the ones where there is a clear overall style. Mine was just a mishmash, and therefore completely unmemorable. Not helped by the fact that the AoI portfolios display your pictures in a random order >:-(

Of course, I need to get a proper website of my own. Then I can have multiple portfolios, and show a variety of styles in a clear way. That's my next task, once my current projects are finished.

Terms & Conditions

"you agree that Monotype Imaging’s liability for such physical injury or death shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $100,000)"                   

This is from the terms and conditions of font software. I never knew typefaces could be so dangerous :-o

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

I missed my train

Which I was rather miffed about, as, according to my watch, I had a minute to spare.
So I had to take the bus.
Just at the bus-stop when I reached town, there was a little independent Scottish bookshop, which I'd never been into.
And, in it, I go my last two Christmas presents, which I was stumped on.
So it's a good thing I missed my train after all!
