So lately I haven't been doing much arting around, but have been focused on expanding my web design portfolio and have some fun projects going on that I will post about soon.
There are so many great resources out there now for people who want to start their own business and freelance. In the past I have found "business" type books to be boring and thought they all sounded the same, blah...blah..blah.
A few weeks ago a talented designer + artist recommended the book "My So-Called Freelance Life" by Michelle Goodman and I loved it so much that I could hardly put it down. Her writing style is very entertaining and witty, all the while very informative and resourceful. She offers advice on topics that I have always wondered about and also, things I would have never thought about, especially in communicating with clients. As an artist + designer I feel more confident in the business side of things and that is something to be valued.
I am also reading her first book "The Anti 9 to 5 Guide", which is another great resource. Check out Michelle's blog here.
Also, the cover design of her books totally had me at hello!
