I just realised that it's never occurred to me to thank a client for delivering feedback on time. Even though this is such a rare occurrence (at least in publishing) that I probably should be thanking them

Ooooh good point. On the anxiety front I am also prone to sending work in at least a day early 😆

I’ve never been brave enough to just send one. I’ve done two! But not one
I just did a project where I sent 5 because I’m a loser, and they picked the first sketch and said 10/10 no notes go straight to final 😭

the art director always approves the cover concept with the most leaves WHY

If it seems like I hate my job, that is not true. But always I am like "shit yeah this book cover will look great with a fuck ton of pigeons" and it feels like no effort to sketch. But then I have to draw a fuck ton of pigeons at 400dpi for final art. I do the same thing with little tiny leaves.

It is wild that two art directors can look at my folio and one can go, “Jess’s style will resonate with 10 year old boys learning about emotional resilience” and the other can go “Jess’s style will be great for fairy sex and violent beheadings”
