Hello!

Welcome to my new blog! I am always experimenting and trying new things with my art. I have recently hired the all-too-amazing illustrator extraordinaire, Holli Conger, as an illustration career consultant. One of the things that I need to do more of , and more than likely, "More consistently" is blog! So this is where I will share these new experiences and techniques with you. With this blog I hope to not only document my progress, but encourage conversation. Think of it like an interactive art journal and please feel free to comment!

So let me introduce myself...

Hi! I'm April Harris and I'm a children's illustrator in Birmingham, AL. I have had a 12+ year long adventure in the graphic design industry, but am looking to expand and take my work further into the world of illustration. I envision finding an artist representative and working in publishing and licensing equally. 

One of my favorite sites to visit is Print & Pattern, there you will find amazing inspiration in surface design. I also love sites like Illustration Mundo and SCBWI. I love to look at others work and be inspired and challenged.

This is one of many blogs that I have started and I hope and pray for this one to be one that never ends and becomes a life long recording of successes and adventures!

I'm having awful allergies, so I think that's it for now!

Please visit often and comment, I would love to hear your side of the story!

Nice to meet you!
April
