Thanks again for another great interview. Jonathan is a great inspiration to get out there and see the world.
Keep up the good work.
Very inspiring and a lot of information in this podcast.
Great Job!
He’s so fresh, honest and straight forward. I can’t tell you how much i enjoyed finding this site and his. Thank you.
Great interview Thomas. Very valuable, honest and genuine information by Jonathan. Kudos to him for sharing his experience. I especially like that he is thinking outside the traditional box in terms of his market and opportunities for marketing his work outside the traditional avenues. He’s more entrepreneurial than most.
Thomas that is fantastic!!!! I’m really enjoying the site!
Love your blog and mood swings :))
Jonathan’s talking about being not a natural promoter of self is something I can really relate to – writers are observers not life of the party folk! The need to be blowing your own horn stuff vs look at me look at me is something I have struggles with too..
Thanks everyone for all the great feedback and love. Jonathan truly is a great inspiration, and I really enjoyed speaking with him.
Do any of the listeners out there do anything similar on their blogs, as far as sharing their efforts to break into the field?
To Whom It May Concern,
I’d like to submit my name for the drawing. I’ve really wanted to have one for the longest time. I used one in 2007 and miss it so much. I realize that I am a day late. Are you still accepting entries?
I invite you to see my website, http://www.lancasterillustrationanddesign.com.
Thank you,
Brian
