Or so says Rex Harrison, playing the irascible Pope Julius II, to Charlton Heston's Michelangelo in
The Agony and the Ecstasy.
That line always stuck in my head, especially as I worked on large
projects, like the creation of my first illustrator's portfolio, or
massive projects, like the composition of my dissertation.
Michelangelo's infuriating response remained, time after time, "When I
am finished!"
The last picture that I had time to create in order to meet my Feb 1
SCBWI portfolio review deadline was an ending page. I wanted to include a
mini-bio, and have it tie in with the last images that were in my
portfolio. To see the proper order, visit
http://www.jessicaboehman.com/portfolio.html. The last page will be my
Goose Girl
end pages that I completed in 2012. It's still one of my favorites,
it's extremely representative of my style, and I feel that it's a good
way to end this version of my portfolio. Like I said in the post below,
had I another month, or another 6 months, or another year, the end
result would be much different. I wanted the last page to be simple, to
tie into the title page and to the Goose Girl illustration. I like its
simplicity. Tonight I will sleep well. I can rest my eyes, suffering
from eyestrain, which has prompted a four day-long headache. Thank God.
