INFORMATION OVERLOAD

I spent most of yesterday researching and trying to create a list of the categories of designs that I will need to create for the Surtex show. I started out by checking out the other exhibitors at Surtex to see what themes are included in their portfolios.

And all I can say is that there is a lot of competition out there. So I'm going to have to really work at creating a unique collection so that I can stand out in the big crowd of artists. I'm just trying to not freak out and get overwhelmed with the task ... often when I feel this way it ends up paralyzing me and I don't end up getting anything done.

I know I just need to take it one step at a time and I'll get there. I think the first step is to create the design sheets and product mockups using my ScoutDog Studios illustrations. That way I will have those ready by May. Then once those are done and if I have time, I can add additional styles for the JennyBen Illustration side of the business.

Sounds like a plan and I better get busy.
