If you have ever used a 3D modeling program you know that you can usually create 3D text objects. You should also be able to add a bevel to your text AND add a fancy profile to the text edge simply by clicking on a button. Not so easy in Blender. What I mean by not so easy is you cannot simply click a button and have the profile appear onto your text. You have to do a little more work in Blender which also means, in a good way, having a little more control over your profile.
So as I was researching how to get new clients a thought came to mind. Why not touch base with past clients and see if they are in need of any illustration work. Such a no-brainer for most, but not for me. My first email went out to BE Publishing which I have done work for in the past. Great company to work for! They publish educational titles for which they need cover art. The company has a great story behind how it all started, and the owner is great to work with. The images are samples of work I created for their annual catalog. I'll let you know if my lightbulb moment generates any work.
It is hard for me to make the contacts. I would rather be creating the art, and I think many artists feel the same as I do. I am going to have to get over that and step out of my comfort zone. If anyone out there has any tips I would greatly appreciate some guidance.
Stay safe, create daily, and be attuned to change.
