    Elli Christou

    Ummm OK! This is nothing less than superb. Not just because it is so incredibly life like but because you can actually feel the pressure in her joints & her fingers grasping the bag. Great composition & tones also.

  • John Dicandia replied

    Thank you Elli for your indepth comments. I drew this quite some years ago when my style was highly polished and detailed. It was a strange phase.

  • BLYTHART

    BLYTHART

    Have you actually submitted your work to any publishers. I meant what I said about you being an illustrator – you are brilliant.

  • John Dicandia replied

    Thank you so much Dave. You are too kind! I’ve tried numerous times submitting my work to publishers and they are a fickle lot of people. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree.

  • BLYTHART

    BLYTHART

    Don’t stop trying. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I knew a guy who made a good living painting illustrations for book covers and video covers. Have you tried the record companies? With the internet it is now easier to show your images to people, so you could borrow the Artists and Writers Yearbook from your local library and email companies you find in there, attaching an example or two of your work.

  • John Dicandia replied

    Ironically you mentioned record companies, I’ve been recommended by a friend to sign with a website called www.behance.net, which is highly regarded because music/advertising companies source this site for artwork constantly.

  • BLYTHART

    BLYTHART

    Go for it – and may the force be with you my friend :)
