I’m back at the desk this week after a few weeks off.

As I have no work lined up, I guess it’s time to update the portfolio for the inevitable job hunt.

So… that is what I have been doing today.

I’ve recently seen multiple people saying a good portfolio should have only a few of your best and most recent pieces, and that it should be representative of the job you are going after. I’m not really sure what kind of job I’m going after other than “comic book work” at the moment, but my old portfolio was an overload dump of work going back over twenty years. I still think most of it is good, and fairly representative of what I can do, but I’m not above taking advice and paring it down to just the essentials!

So, I’ve basically started from scratch.

As I am no longer looking for work in the animation industry I’ve removed that category all together.

I’ve put together three galleries, one for inking samples, one for sequential samples, and one for covers and pin-ups, and I’ve only posted fairly recent work in each gallery.

So, the idea is to swap out samples as I do new ones, and to tailor each category for whatever job I’m hoping to land whatever that will be. I’m kind of hoping to land another inking gig for the immediate future, which is why Inks & Finishes has got top billing at the moment.

We’ll see how it goes.

In the meantime, check out the new portfolio page and let me know if I’m moving in the right direction.
