Entry: June 12, 2008
Things have been going as usual with my freelance work and I've made several updates to the website including adding the downloads section where I'll show off and allow people to download some of my work in full print quality. Those things can be used freely as long as the copyright stays in tact.
I've also posted links to all my networking profiles across the web. You'll notice on the right side of the site there are icons for Myspace, Linkedin, Facebook, NextCat, and IndieClub. I've also posted a link to my gallery on DeviantART on the left side of the site.
I finally got to complete my latest website, http://www.c21ccre.com/. It's fairly simple but you get what you pay for. I did some searching through other Century 21 affiliate sites and none of the ones I found even come close to the I did here. That makes me feel a lot better about putting something like this together.
I've got a few other potential clients I'm working on locking down. It's kind of hard during these hard economical times and I doubt it's going to get any better. Even with my extremely low pricing jobs are getting scarce. Being a freelancer you kind of hope the work will speak for itself and just draw in the clients, of course you have to get out there and promote the hell out of things, but it's just not working anymore.
I've gotten a lot more into the photography thing. It's going pretty well, my work was featured in another article on DeviantART, and I have a couple models lined up to do head-shots and just random modeling shoots. This will be more for learning than anything and I'm not even close to being confident enough to sell any of my work. Besides, most of it is of my daughter and I'd prefer not to have some stranger hanging prints of my kid in their home.
Part of the download section as I pointed out earlier will be for people to freely take some of my work and use it or just collect it. I've only made up a few desktop wallpapers at this point but I'm hoping I get more shots that will warrant print type work or even posting up some of my posters.
That's all for now. I'll just keep updating as I go. Tutorials have all but been ignored because I'm busy with filmmaking work and promotion of some of my other stuff like the Mid-Ohio Comic Con and my work with Columbus IndieClub. I'm in the midst of pre-production on my new horror/thriller A Thousand Words: Revelation and have been busy pulling in interviews so that's been fun. Once those are put out there publicly by the interviewer I'll post links.
