Feeling Ambitious?

Lürzer's Archive is accepting submissions to their annual 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2011/12.

Selections are made by an international jury, although they also give prices for pages. I'm not sure what that's about. Do you think they make you pay for the privilege of being selected? I dunno. But I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE is JULY 21, 2010.

In the Mail

For all the glories of electronic communication, there's still nothing like a great postcard to bring your work to the attention of an art director or client. Illustration Promotions is a site that collects these postcards for your enjoyment and edification. There will probably be a lot of promotional postcards in your future, so it's worth developing ideas for them, now.
