Here's my middle grade take on the Wizard of Oz.

There were some amazing entries this month! Glad to see some of my favorites here. Congratulations everybody!

I use squarespace and I think images just have to be under 5MB. I don’t resize my images before I upload them unless they are double page spreads because those are usually too big. Squarespace sizes the files correctly for you when you upload.

I do watermark my images with my name and website, because if someone downloads one of my images, I want them to know who made it and how to find me.

I was recently told that you should make your images downloadable because some art directors will move on if they can’t save your images and put them in a file on their computer. Also, have your email address somewhere on your website. As far as organization, keep it clean and simple and let people see your work with as few clicks as possible.

You will find a very solid foundation if you go through the courses on SVS and take them seriously, put in the time and do the homework. And it sounds like you have the right mindset!. But, art is a lifelong learning process and there is no complete education you will find anywhere. There will always be more things to learn elsewhere. Maybe I’m biased because this is where I began, but to me there is no better place to start than right here. And use the forums. I waited too long to come here.

Very cool concept! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Awesome!! I literally started working on a book cover yesterday. And I was thinking, maybe this will fit for the SVS prompt somehow. This never happens.

I like the first one better. Cool scene! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Here it is everyone... Enjoy all the LOVE in this one - http://cshellmedia.com/clients/svs/

When I saw how many entries there were this month, I was thinking it was going to be a lot of trouble to put the slideshow together. Thanks @Chip-Valecek!

@Braden-Hallett this is the best. I love it. No pun intended.
