It’s a brand new 2011, which is a good excuse to shake up jemshed.com with a new design. While it’s not perfect, I’m happy with this update. Go check out the portfolio to see my new gallery layout. I’m still tweaking it, so if you find bugs let me know.
This year is going to have a lot of changes for me. I’ve applied for JET 2011, which means I could be moving to Japan in August. I’ve always wanted to live there, it’ll be a childhood dream come true. I’m waiting to find out if I get an interview.
There is a new Collective Noun project underway, which features illustrations and comics made by me. We’ll be launching on 11/1/11. Keep an eye onRockstars2011.com for more information.
I am looking for illustration and graphic design work. It’s a tough scene to break into, but I’m focused and determined to work really hard and get myself moving up in the industry this year.
I’m planning to make this blog more active now that the website is better designed for it. It’ll be a little bit of a mixed bag. I plan on posting sketches as well as links to awesome things and people. I’ll also sneak in a few small updates like this one on general Jem life stuff.
Oh, and here, have a sketch from my new Sketchbook. 2011 is a year for bunnies to chase away all the tigers from last year, but I still have to open with a girl who keeps cats in her hair.
Great site Jem! Really loved looking around and reading about what you are planning! I have added the site to my favourites and will keep an eye on what you are up to. Good luck for Japan. Exciting.
