Flickr

I've had this Flickr account for a while...but haven't really spent much time on it because it takes a while to upload on my laptop....but over the summer I want to make it a lot more substantial and put a lot more of my recent work up on to it.
Although the site kind of annoys me with the navigation, I think its a good way to get my work out there and have a basic online presence.

Online magazines/sources

Over the summer I intend to spend more time on these sites, by either submitting work or finding contacts...specifically the Creative handbook as its linked to Creative review...which is obviously pretty high profile! (By pretty...I mean very)

Illustration agents

As I came to the conclusion that I, Ideally want to go freelance...I don't think asking to go work in a design studio for a week would be particularly benifical for me this summer because I wouldn't be in the right frame of mind.
Maybe in the future...but not right now.

Taking this into account, one of the things I will be doing over the summer is contacting illustration agents...in London, manchester etc. and hopefully starting a conversation with them.

A few I have identified so far that I will contact are below;

CIA - Central Illustration Agency.
They have a specifically typography/type as image section which I feel my work would fit into.


Debut Art
This agency represents Serge Seidlitz, whose work I really like at the moment...this being the main reason I want to look more into them and contact them.


Folio;
I haven't really spend a huge time looking at these...but they look professional and I like the artists/work that they represent.

Heart;
In addition to liking the work that these represent, another selling point is the fact that they have an office in London...and an office in New York; my favourite place.

Lemonade;
For some reason, these don't really look as professional as the others but I will look more into them to see if they're worth contacting/if they're successful.

NB -
Once again, the thing that drew me to these were the fact that they have a typography section.



Good Illustration/Thorogood;
I found these by searcing for Thoroughgood/Thorogood so I don't know if they've changed their name...or this is another one, but either way the work that they represent is great and they represent a Lot of people which I think is a selling point.
