I'm on a quest. Since a few years now, I fantasize about illustrating book covers. This dream has only grown in intensity with time. I used to believe I "wasn't ready" for it, doubting my skills. I do not feel that way anymore. Although I know there's always room for improvement, I realize that perfection is the (impossible) quest of a lifetime. I am ready, more than ready in fact.

I want to illustrate books and magazines. I've done it for local sci-fi and fantasy literary magazine Brins d'Éternité and loved it. The only thing is... it seems to be a really hard industry to get into. I've never ever seen an a job posting from a publishing house looking for freelance illustrators. And from what I've read on the internet, the only way to get such contracts is either to know someone, have an agent, or to keep sending publishing houses by mail postcards (or small portfolios), hoping that one of them will give you a call-back.

But I won't give up. I'll work at it until I do it. Watch me.
