Since this is my first blog [well not really, I was once a horrible html gobbling addict for all things blog, but that was long ago], I suppose I should introduce myself a bit. Call me EMMALEEDIRE. I'm an illustrator on the rise. I'm currently a SCAD student [I graduate this March]. I am a native Texan. I like to draw sharks in dresses and octopi in spurs. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and I can't picture my life without art.
I have so many people who have helped me get to where I am. My maternal grandparents and guardians, Nana and Granddad, have helped me every step of the way. Granddad has put all of his energy into getting me through school and funding my efforts to be a grown-up. A close friend, Virginia Bethke, has been a long-time proponant for my career and is one of the most supportive people I know. A new face, illustrator Violet Lemay has come into play in my life during my years here at SCAD. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry of illustration [don't believe me? check out her blog and see her site] and has been a great mentor and friend since I met her.
I am very excited to be blogging again, so expect a daily update. I will try my best not to be obnoxious. That is what Twitter is for [speaking of, you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook].
