Illustrators: Bring your portfolio and show it off, peek at others and get some feedback.
Portfolios, the biggest part of an illustrator's outreach. It is the first thing folks look at and it is an overwhelming task that is also evolving! Need someone to just take a look at where you are to see if you're on the right track? Have no clue where to start and want to just look at inspiration? Join us! This will be a time to talk with other illustrators, learn from peers, and get peer feedback (not critique). We can also discuss the concept of “postcards”. Feel free to bring those too!
