First freelance

I'm very excited to let you all know about the freelance work I've been working to get together.

It's taken several weeks, but I finally managed to print and packaged over 500 mailers to send to area dentist. My goal is to offer my designs to be made into postcards as appointment reminders. These designs would be specifically dental related, so along with reminding people to schedule their appointments, it would also promote general oral health as well.

This is the first time I've tried to organize anything like this, essentially a cold call, to get this freelance work going so I'm just casting big nets, and hoping it works out. Though I expect that I'll need to wait a while to hear anything back unless I'm catching one of these offices right as they are considering ordering more cards.

These are the two industry appropriate that I have ready right now;

Jesus break in!

This is a painting I started this summer, and recently deemed finished.













I got the idea while doing an internship as an intercessory missionary at the Richmond International House of Prayer. It seemed like a lot of the prayers contained a key phrase that must have been a favorite among the missionaries “Jesus break in with power/wisdom/healing/mercy…” whatever applied at the moment. It always made me giggle to myself a little because I always got the same mental image in my head whenever it was said. I always imagined a stained glass window, and on the left side of my imagination was a candle, as those words were spoken, a beam of light would burst across to the right, with most explosions of light along the way. So I decided to paint it. I was rather difficult to photograph because the painting is 2 feet by 5 feet! (I’ll try to get some good detail shots posted up soon.) Not my largest ever, but it’s very large compare to most of my work, and I stretched this canvas and gessoed it myself with the help of a friend. I’m extremely proud of this painting, it turned out exactly as I wanted to, though I should note, it took me a couple tries to get it.

Soon I'll let you know about the free lance work I've been doing!
