I stumbled upon the Illustration Friday website through a friend's blog.  It took me a while to participate, but once I did I was so happy to have found such a wonderful new place to express myself artistically.

This website is dubbed" Illustration Friday" because every Friday, the site managers post a new "theme".  The theme is usually only one or two words, just enough to spark a thought.  Artists of all skill levels are then encouraged to create a work of art based on the theme of the week and share it on the website.

I am not always able to participate, due to my busy schedule.  But, I enjoy browsing and being thoroughly inspired by the amazing artists who participate.  Many of the artists are published illustrators of children's books - a field in which I hope to make my mark someday.

Since you are required to post your artwork on your own blog before sharing on the website, I have found the blogs of many talented artists and have gotten some helpful tips on my own work as well.  It is fun to get feedback when I do post my work and it has also been a wake-up call that has inspired me to freshen up my skills and work a little harder to meet my goal of illustrating children's books.

I'll be sure to check it out. When I overcome a few more challenges I hope to return to selling my work. Do the artists who show their work on this website retain all their rights or does their work become the property of the website? Best wishes with your endeavors!
