Unfortunately, there's not just one answer to your question. The first thing to do is do great work, create a consistent and powerful portfolio. Everything else flows from that. Cons are a great way to meet people, but as often as not, I think new people are being discovered on-line. The most important thing is to keep putting out good work!Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-65188094879962635002014-08-07T06:21:49.773-07:002014-08-07T06:21:49.773-07:00The other thing that seems to be holding me back i...The other thing that seems to be holding me back is the fact I live in Europe when all the buzz is in America. I have 0.0% opportunities to get in contact with people in person to make a good impression (like going to cons) and that leaves me worrying for the future. <br /><br />Granted, I don't have a body of consistent work to show (At least that's how I feel about my stuff) and if I have to send it through email I get this lingering feeling that A. it's going to be looked at, but just as quickly thrown into a big drawer for future reference or worse B. it goes right into the dustbin.<br /><br />How would someone in my position deal with this? Am I maybe just too afraid of the unknown? Also thanks for answering my email from about a year ago where I asked about those clips and the board you used on your table. I'm now using a variation of it of sorts and it works like a charm! <br /><br />This was a very great read, it's always a ton of fun to see how others have made it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084574552260578376noreply@blogger.com
