Organized Chaos - Putting together my Professional Painting Portfolio


This the the in-progress layout of my portfolio. My fellow artist friend just stopped by and told me I should make some of the pictures bigger, so I will work on that.


It is amazing how little I know about computers and how much they are required in my profession. I had to figure out how to print these suckers, size them and all that fun stuff.

Most days I would prefer to paint, hang the finished pieces on my walls and call it a day. However if I aspire to make money doing this I have to show people these paintings, then I have to convince them to buy them. This is really not that much fun. Thankfully, as an artist, I enjoy the process of creating this little scrapbook (sorry, portfolio). It does make it easier to show people my work if I have it all wrapped up in this handy little black book. With the help of my artist friend I am getting more and more involved with the Chicago art scene. I really enjoy meeting other artists. Until I figure out what I should do next, this is certainly a great way to fill the time.
