Email Names Oh How Important

Email name-Hey everyone, I've been doing a lot of consulting one on one with artists and writers this past couple of months and one thing that I noticed was that most of the people contacting me have some clever or strange name for their email, and I wanted to suggest how VERY IMPORTANT it is to use YOUR NAME or YOUR BRAND NAME in your email. If you don't have a name at your name dot come yet, that's fine, but then use your first and last name and Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo or something. It gets very confusing trying to figure out who the email goes to. I have heard a lot of ADs and editors speak at conferences about it too; it's oh so important. Just thought I'd post this as a gentle reminder of how you're marketing yourself. :)

Well since I met Lilla via FB, I got connected with a licensing rep and landed two licensing deals for my pets, now I see a whole world of possibilities for my work. These are some iPhone mock ups for the first month's assignment. I may do other designs as well. I am also enrolled in a children's picture book course, so I am burning the candle at both ends, and of course working on a new picture book, an animation job at the end of the month and commi...
