   Hi Tara, that’s an impressive portfolio! I especially love the design/feel of the antibiotics calendar, BVD farmers adv and the jewellery adverts. It’s always nice to see other portfolios: a good source of inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

   ps how’s your Weather Pops project going?

   Thanks Tess,

   I have sent Weather Pops off to Baby TV, I got a reply which I responded to but have heard nothing since. I have also sent it off to another publisher today.

   I need to sort out some colouring pages etc but that is going to be on the back burner for a little while as I have a lot of work on the next week or two.

   If anybody else would be interested in helping me get the “OUT THERE” I would gladly pay a commission on any money “we” manage to make with them.

   I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! I could poke around a bit over here: a friend of mine works for the Times, perhaps she’s got some connections, I will definitely give it a try!

   I guess I should also post my folio on my site too.. But again I recently got my office ready, so now I am no more a freelancer

   Wish me luck

   Really spectacular, Tara! You have a wide range of styles and specialties there (packaging, advertising, the Kidde booth). I must say that photo with the guy with all the piercings scared me! Yikes!

   Just out of curiosity, how old is most of this stuff? Is it from freelance or some of your in house/design firm work as well?

   It’s all very good, and I’m sure you’re proud!

   I’m really liking the diversity, Tara, as Lauren picks up on. The piercings photo is pretty creepy.

   Great addition to your blog.

   Thanks Santosh, good luck with the new business/

   Thanks Lauren, there’s a mixture of stuff, some from nowish and some before I went freelance, when I was a director of a small company (I hope it doesn’t look too old?). I had to art direct the shot with the guy with peircings, he is covered in tatoos too, and wears makeup. Under the piercings he is more or less green.

   Thanks David.

   Great stuff Tara- nice to get a chance to see a cross section of your work! Just out of curiosity, is that a plugin that pops up the fancy display window?
