It’s been over a year and despite applying to ~200+ jobs, I still haven’t even landed an interview. Rarely even get rejection emails.

So I’m going the self-employment route. Full-time #graphicdesign and #illustration services for small biz, non-profits, community groups and fellow creatives.

🤞🤞🤞🤞

It’s been…a time… car totaled, market missed. But The Red Magician’s #Tarot should be back from the printer at the end of this month!

In the meantime, here are some shots of the hard copy proof sheets they provided 😊

Due to New York State wildlife rendering my car unusable for the foreseeable future, and having no reliable alternative transportation, I will NOT be vending at the Illumination Night Market this Friday 😑

Sorry, folks.

You can still purchase my wares online though: www.jayleroy.com/category/all...
