the domain project

I must admit that I am a bit gun shy when it comes to the world of technology. It took me a long time to feel comfortable with setting up my blog. Although an aspiring author and illustrator can't hide behind blogspot forever. It is time to buy my own domain and create a website that is everything I want it to be. I have purchased the domain, www.cdunbridge.com . Now comes the fun. What do I do from there??? Well, I am starting to research web site builder sites to create  my perfect web site and portfolio. I have a Wacom tablet coming this week to help expand my illustration abilities. Technology progress is happening. One thing that I took from my previous conference was to measure your progress. Are you plateauing or progressing? A year ago, an agent changed my life. She gave me time. Her time was a catalyst for new adventures. From those new adventures, my art has grown 10 fold. I have taken a class on children's story writing, applied for a grant, entered my work for cover illustration, and more. Now mind you, I have not won a grant or received the cover illustration spot light, but I put my work out there. My work was on display at an illustrator gallery and I received some great feedback. Life is a school and I am forever the willing student. I am very excited to take on the domain project and see what I can bring to it.

THE SCBWI GLITCH

Well, SCBWI has had an overhaul done on the webpage. It is beautiful, user friendly, and engaging-unless you are an illustrator. The illustrator gallery took a short term nose dive. Illustrations from a year or more ago have found their return to the gallery after deletions while my latest work has made an exit. I am unable to download any illustrations or organize them. In the short term, please disregard this site as an example of my work for the time being. Those in charge have graciously emailed and advised me that the glitches will be sorted out in a week. The conference is New York has taken priority. This is very understandable.  SCBWI holds two extravagant conferences in LA and NY. I hope to attend these in the foreseeable future. I will post an update when the gallery is back to working order. Thank you all for your patience. My online portfolio is available through this site if you wish to peruse. The new SCBWI site is beautiful and I am very excited for all the new changes. With change comes some hiccups. IF you love children's literature and illustrations, check out this site. I love being a member!
As for the NY conference, I will not be attending it this year, but I hope to attend the conference in Georgia at the end of March!
