Ive been so back and forth with what social media to use and what makes more sense. For the next few months i'll be avoiding Facebook in an attempt to stop procrastinating so much. I will still be blogging every Tuesday but back on my <a href="http://www.heathersuesisson.com/blog-1/">website blog</a>. All my other accounts such as Instagram, Soundcloud and Twitter will all be linked to my website. Please be patient with me as I see what works better. My website is in the upper right corner of this blog and my podcast is in the left corner.<br />

I waited a few days to post my blog in hopes of getting the motivation to create and show more. Didn't happen but i'm still pushing for the weekly posts so please be patient with me. I love the finished product of this painting but it doesn't really fit in with my children book style. I love the sketch so much though that I created a sketch page to my website, check it out <a href="http://www.heathersuesisson.com/sketchs/">Here</a>. <div>

The last two weeks I have been forcing this idea of finishing a painting that I really don't care for. The drawing was so fun but the end result is boredom. On top of that, when im bored i'll force myself to try over and over again to get this amazing result that never happens. For now on if i get bored or stuck I'll just force myself to move on to something else so there's always something for my weekly blogs. With that said, the so called boredom painting is the word for internet. It's probably going to stay just a drawing. My second Sketch is for this weeks word, "Up". I love this illustration and you can count on me finishing the painting for next week. Till then, eat lot's of cake!<br />

Such a small goal but closer then what ive been doing for the last two years. For this week s post I added my christmas cards along with the sketch and process. The Illustration Friday word of the weak is sound so I have a cute little deer looking up at wind chimes. I got so attached to my deer doodle that I made another word it off of him. Deer chilling with a spider during snow fall. Very cute and very simple. Hope you enjoy and I'll see you next Tuesday!<br />

Because Im not trustworthy with my procrastinating Im going to put my weekly blog between Tuesday and Wednesday for posting. My goal in mind will be to illustrate for every Illustration Friday Ive missed in the last two years along with the recent ones announced every week. Im not sure will there will get me. My style has always been a road block for me. I love what I do and how it looks but i'm caught between mediums and what really makes me happy or just looks neat. Since i'm stuck down this path I'll just have to go off into the woods and walk around in the dark for a while. Hopefully I don't trip and fall on my face.<br />
<br />
With that said, first two words are Talk and Unicorn. Talk was inspired by kids who talk to ghosts of animals and Unicorns was inspired by the new fad of Unicorn Hot Chocolate. Hope you all like them!<br />

Unfortunately I forgot something along the way. I closed my website and revisited a lot of old work. Its been difficult trying to find what made me so happy before. Recently I attended a good friends wedding. For a gift I forced myself to create a comic depicting when we first met and a million inside jokes and memories. It was very rushed over a matter of weeks. During sickness, drunkness and self hatred I pulled through. The end result was amazing. There was a moment where it brought tears to the eyes of a room full of people. Not to sound arrogant but I know I can be good when I try. But this was different. It wasn't just about being good at art or having knowledge of adobe programs. Something I made moved certain individuals whether they got the jokes or not. There was a understanding and relativeness that made me feel so fulfilled. I can't say Ive felt that way for nearly a decade.<br />
<br />
It was an amazing wedding with amazing friends. It was all a great reminder that I shouldn't give up on myself just yet.<br />

I highly recommend checking them out. One of their goals is to better know artists for artists appreciation month. Its a way to advertise each other and better know different artists with very different and unique skills. So let's get this rollling so everyone can have a better insight about who I am and what Ive been up to as of lately.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">As a child, do you recall a significant moment when you felt truly affected or inspired by any particular artwork or artist?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">This is a pretty common question that ive heard often. Its always a curious thing to find out why someone would choose art. I wish I could say I came across a beautiful painting in a muesam or a family member gave me the most amazing book ive ever seen. Didnt happen exactly that way for me. When I was younger my mother collected almost a hundred Golden books. My absolute favorite was a joke book. Its pretty corny and downright lame to read. But i gained an attachment to it. The illustrations are rediculous and hallarious. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">2. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">As an artist, what do you hope to convey with your work?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">My main focus is the children book market. It took me a long time to really figure out why or what I wanted to convey amongst children. About a year after college I started a journey of getting my health together. I was just testing the waters of a possible gluten allergy and a way I coped with giving certain foods up was by painting them. After a year of this I really started to reflect on how I felt as a child growing up with</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"> gastrointestinal problems. Not just painful stomach achs but the feeling of isolation and alienation that came with it. As a result all my work is directly food related and im currently working on a series of books explaining different food allergies and immune disorders. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">3. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">What memorable responses have you had to your work?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Ive had lots of compliments and good feedback expecialy with my cookie logo but im still waiting for that big moment. The moment when I know ive affected someone with my stories. That somehow a child could relate with similar issues ive had in the past and not feel so alone. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><b>4. What is your dream project?</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">My dream project is currently in the works. Its been a big reason why my blog has been so empty in the last year. There's so much I would love to explain about it but right now its on the queit side till I decide to approuch an agent or go to a publishing house with it. I have lists and query letters all over the place! I can say that its a series of immune disorders and allergies. The first book is called "Just add Ginger". This book explains Celiac without all the medical terms and a little less obvious then bread. Ive found more gluten in toothpaste and candy then in bread. Oh the irony. Here's a sketch of the main character just to give an idea of how it will look. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">At this point theres so many amazing illustrators Ive come across it's so difficult to narrow it down! I guess in the last two years here are some artists that have greatly inspired me and I hope to be more like them. </span><br />

The last year has been pretty eventual to say the least. Ive discovered I know adobe illustrator more then anyone ever should and a lot of my time has been spent designing products and exploring production art. As much as I love what I do I still want illustration to be a top priority and it really hasn't been existing in the last year.<br />
<br />
So with that being said Id like to show a portrait and random illustration that I really love and enjoyed making. Blogger really tends to help my schedule with art so regardless of how many people actually use it anymore, its my blog of choice.<br />

One thing that had defiantly suffered in 2014 was my inspiration and motivation for anything art related. Ive been so stuck with where to go with it or how to go anywhere with it. I still love children's books more then anything so i'll start there and see what comes from it. As a way of planning deadlines and giving more structure to the chaos that is my studio i've decided to go through all the Illustration Friday words in the last year and all the ones to come this year.<br />
<br />
I only have one to show this week but it starts with one of my favorite words that ive always related to the most, temptation. For me I always go back to the image of someone looking in through a bakery case. It's my own personal battle coping with celiac disease. Seeing something that looks amazing but your prevented from obtaining it.<br />

Here's the only two paintings I really enjoyed. My obsession with catching up with illustration friday has defiantly impacted my work this past week. Hopefully I can get back into a weekly routine and start showing more of what I really love.<br />

This year has proved to be challenging in so many ways. Here's a few things I have gone through since January. For one I changed jobs. Im now working full time as a graphic designer. Everyone I work with is pretty amazing and I get to play with repeats and patterns on illustrator all day. I live with my boyfriend now who is not only a great individual but is also a health freak with a diet that is heavenly for all my stomach issues. I also have access to an unlimited amount of band t-shirts (ammmazzinnnggg). Obviously there's been a bit of bumps in the road with sick friends and a few car accidents but ultimately its been a very optimistic year. The worst incident involving my mac book pro and a bottle of water.(Yes I have a new computer!) Coming up I have a wedding in August, October, November and December in which i'm a bridesmaid for two and helping one design invites and a few table items for.<br />
<br />
With everything going on I really don't want to loose track of who I am as an illustrator and where I want to go with it. After my class at RISD I came to the conclusion that I need more confidence in my work, not more school. So now i'm back to tuesday blogging to get me back on track. Today is just a few patterns ive been playing around with at work to practice a bit more with my textile skills in illustrator.<br />

Its something fun to get me back into college again. Starting fall I will start taking children's book 1 to push foreword into the children's book program. After taking this class for the short time that I have, I have no idea how I pulled off almost seven classes a week at Pratt. Im exhausted and getting personal work done has been much more of a challenge. For this class were working on a 8 page comic that's really taking up most of my time. I'm sad to say that I wont show any until the finished pieces are completed to my liking. So for today here's some practice pieces we did. The first one was a group comic and the other was just a homework assignment.<br />

Has it been long since I last posted anything! Well that procrastinating craziness will now be over. No matter what weird or crazy things happen within a month I still feel incredibly guilty for not keeping up my blog. Its my strength in pushing towards a better career and without it I tend to get a bit unorganized. So for todays post I thought Id show a card I painted for the cutest most amazing boyfriend ever and A few sketch's to go along with it. Enjoy!<br />

Within two months my life has just piled with work and a continuous list of things to get to. On top of my hectic schedule I managed to get tonsillitis which transformed into a throat virus from my lack of rest. Now that im healthy my routines need to start up again. So for the new year I really wanted to make drawing/sketching a daily routine. I plan to have one sketch a day and hopefully post seven a week on my blog. Obviously my work is a bit behind so next week will be a little insane with the amount of sketch's I plan to show. I thought this would be a great way to sneak more art into my busy life and it's a way to get more ideas out on paper and revisit them for future paintings. Things will be much more organized this way and it will help me start the spring semester at RISD off at my best.<br />
<br />
And this blog will continue on tuesdays starting next week! Im determined to keep that day!<br />

So I ordered some plates a while back for the jewelry/doll house food ive been making. finally I got them in! I have yet to use them but expect many more delicious things now that I have some dishes to work off of.<br />

Too much going on while the days go by too quickly. I am determined to get things moving with my work. For my new years resolution i'll be posting seven sketch's per week on my blog for the entire year of 2014. So one sketch for every day. plus i'll have some posts about new work coming from my class's at RISD. Today will be my christmas card. Pretty random but super fun to make!<br />

Today I am twenty six marking almost four years since school! I feel like I have changed so much and as this year ends i've realized that a lot of really tough situations in my life have really turned out for the better. Hence the title, <b><i>optimistic sagittarius</i></b>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I narrowed my experiences down to five categories with a short description of each. I wanted to share my own personal experience since school to give another point of view. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. <b>Relocating:</b> I did live in Brooklyn for a bit after college but ended up moving home due to living expenses being too extensive and I wasn't around the greatest group of people. Moving back to RI was kind of a bummer but now looking back on it I really needed the time to breath and take in everything I experience while at Pratt. It gave me an opportunity to re-discover myself and have a better sense of my ambitions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. <b>Relationships:</b> A few relationships/friendships and even some family members are no longer in my life. I think this is the hardest lesson for most. If anyone brings drama, pain, or negativity into your life while ignoring personal boundaries they are not worth having in your life. Obviously its not as easy to push someone away as that. But by doing so I was able to befriend unlikely people I wouldn't have talked to before. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. <b>Health: </b>This was another great reason why I moved back home. It took a few more ER visits and a lot of weird symptoms to discover I have celiac disease. It took three days to feel healthy and it will take almost a year for gluten to completely leave my system. Theres so many ways this has changed my life. I could go on forever with the list. Its one of those things; You don't know how sick you really are until you experience being healthy. For me this was my first thanksgiving not being sick. My first birthday not being sick. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. <b>School: </b>Pratt is a very expensive college with very stressful and time consuming courses. I absolutely loved it but between working after class and being sick all the time I really didn't get to enjoy it. So im attending RISD in the spring for children book illustration and jewelry. I'll be paying class by class so way less stress and absolutely no more loans. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. <b>Work:</b> I think this has been the most common issue for most graduates. I have had over twenty graphic design interviews for all sorts of companies and projects. I never had luck getting hired or paid but they have all pushed me to know most adobe programs to an obsessive degree. I have almost 5 miscellaneous jobs that keep my head above water and my life is incredibly interesting. One of my boss's is actually a children book illustrator! (Couldn't have asked for a more obvious sign)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well that about sums it up! I have been through many failures in the last few years but most have paid off and I really enjoy the path i'm on right now and who Im becoming as a person. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Preparing for a craft fair, taking on a third job and taking part in projects to get my portfolio updated before I start classes at RISD in the spring.<br />
<br />
So for this post I wanted to share the first project ive been involved in. <a href="http://taralazar.com/">PiBoldMo</a> is a blog that makes weekly posts in november about writing stories for children and young adults. Registration ended the 7th but anyone can still be part of writing a story a day for the month of november and being part of the conversation. If you did register your eligible for prizes. (I would have posted this much sooner but I found out two hours before registration was closed!) Then start <a href="http://www.juliehedlund.com/12-x-12/">12 x 12</a> in january which is a project where you pick 12 stories from PiBoldMo and make each into a book dummy. (One each month of the year) Its a great exercise even if half of them turn out terribly. Its really just to get ideas on paper. I hope for those of you who read my blog, will join in the fun too!<br />

Sadly it took me all fall to get to it. So look's like i'll have to hurry for winter and get that sent out before December. Oh the life of a freelancer. Thankfully this painting came out great and I really love everything about it. The minus is most of my work is disappointing compared. So I got my list of things people look for in a Children's Illustrator portfolio and i'm well on my way to accomplishing it. Oh and later this month Im going to start a competition to try and win a pair of holiday earrings I made. I may show a painting such as this and make people guess how many techniques were used and in what order. So keep that in mind when you study this and the other steps i've shown earlier. ;)<br />

I had a very crazy afternoon the day before. I made a genius appointment for my apple thinking there were issues from the battery. After running a few tests and attempting to look through the hard drive; my computer went threw a massive breakdown of giant red flashing failures. Turns out the hard drive was glitching and refusing to do any tests. To be fair this situation was my fault. A few months back I dropped it on a busy street in providence in a rainstorm. So now the bottom side with the hard drive in it is bent metal.<br />
<br />
The good news was my warranty covered it and now my computer is wicked fast an awesome. All my files were transferred over by my old mac and most programs are re-downloaded. Now the issue is cs5. My old one was a download so I may have to look for my cs3 cd's and just deal with an older version till I figure something out. I can't help but think they put a new personality into the dead shell of my computer. Its very sad...and so today isn't just a rant heres a photo of adorable cookie cutters for some winter projects.<br />

So today's post is a bit random. It started with the weekly word for<a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/"> Illustration Friday</a> and somehow developed into chinese food accessories.<br />

It's taking a bit long due to other projects and realizing im a bit rusty in my painting and drawing skills. To see the post card sketch go check out<a href="http://heatherinasuitcase.blogspot.com/2013/09/autumn-post-card-part-1.html"> Part 1</a>. Part 2 is the finished painting but the inside of all the frames are going to be collaged and digitally added for Part 3. You can see why that would take a bit of time. Along with it I have some painting practice. Ive noticed i'm incredibly rusty in my skills so I will start up painting food again along with more observation drawings.<br />

On the plus side I managed to get a interview with a amazing company that designs children and tween clothing, accessories and packaging. It's temporary but in house experience and I would still be drawing. With design jobs usually ones that balance on the edge of textile or fashion require mini projects as part of the interview. So I had a day and a half to make a pouch pattern, BBF necklace and package design. I probably had too much fun with it but at least I have more work I love regardless of what their decision is.<br />
