We will be in touch
I have a friend who is a freelance illustrator, however she has mainly worked for one publisher and has become a bit isolated. She has had a few life changes and now wants to broaden out and get in contact with other illustrators and with a broader range of employers.
Can anyone recommend some forums she could join that relate to her work of book and general illustrating? Or any business/trade associations she could look into?
Thanks
Possibly do you have a few examples of her work? I have a few contacts.
I'd be interested in a link to here work, I work in the design industry, has she tried being rep'd by illustration agency? A few bookmarks from my browser:

if she does motion then [url= http://motionographer.com/ ]motionographer[/url]
I have more if this is the sort of thing.
I will get her to look at this post.
As I have not asked permission from her for me to post this, I don't like to give her name, as I dont know if that would compromise her professionally in any way, I know nothing of illustration or publishing myself. She has won awards for illustrating in the past.
She may be interesting in getting in touch, so thanks to people who are suggesting it or leaving links and contact info. As said, I will pass this page to her. It may be a few days as I think she is away from home a lot of this week.
If anyone wants to email about it (which would come to my account) you could mail me at
j.m0id0nigh0t@yma0il.co0m
(remove all the zeros to get the right address)
And I will forward any mails to her as well as this page.
