The mastermind behind so many different aspects of illustration, Darren Di Lieto is an artist promotion workhorse. Our first connection began several years ago when Darren requested the use of one of my chimp illustrations for use in an early incarnation of his “The Little Chimp Society.” LCS for short, he and his wife Jane maintain a vibrant blog promoting all things related to the illustration industry. Darren has brought to light a tremendous amount of talent through his blog and the “Mail Me Art” projects. I was honored to be a part of the “Mail Me Art” book and exhibition from the first collection. He’s also created the “Hire An Illustrator” site, providing a space for illustrator’s portfolios and promotion. A tip of the hat to Darren for promoting and helping so many talented people in the world of illustration!
My mailed submission used in Darren’s “Mail Me Art” book.
I agree Darren and Jane are a fantastic pair and the art portfolio site is going a long way to promote artists and illustrators. I too participated in a MailMe Art and was delighted to do so. The whole concept was exciting and I enjoyed seeing all the other work. Your piece is so exceptional that I get lost in it. Wonderful work and true to your unique style and sense of humor.
