Jennifer Nelson

I follow Jennifer Nelson Artists on instagram and theres some nice work on there.
Quite different to mine, but nice to look at


I found her on linked in and now we are 'friends

 It's basically a small agency run by this woman
Seems a very nice agency to be represented by, very personal and caring and whatnot
If I were to be represented I'd like an agency like this, seems very friendly and nice
Not like the souless face of corporate art.

Anyway she has this page specifically for all the illustators who contact her for advice, which I just thought was really refreshingly kind and genuine, in this seemingly cutthroat passive aggresive industry I'm becoming increasingly disenfranchised with.




 So I contact her asking for advice about my portfolio and graduating
Hopefully she will respond

Here is my message;

Hi
First I'd like to say this is a very good idea and I think it's admirable that you so willing to offer help and guidance to struggling artists.

Basically I'm about to graduate from BA Illustration at Leeds College of Art and I'd like a professional opinion on my portfolio. Also any tips and guidance you have for what one should be doing after graduation to crack into the industry would be massively helpful because it seems quite enigmatic at the minute..

Here's a link to my portfolio

Kindest Regards and thanks for your time
