Puppets, Dolls and Products

HELP. I'M HAVING A MID-COURSE CRISIS.
RE-EVALUATING MY EXISTENCE.

Where will my work exist?
In the theatre, in films, on stage and behind the camera. In little shops, in books and in my hands.
Ambitious, but ambition is the key to motivation and motivation is the driving force.

Who do I want it to appeal to?
I want my work to appeal to puppeteers, directors and actors. I want THEM to want to perform in my puppets, to want to work WITH ME. I want to appeal to children - to dive into the magic of childhood imagination.

Can it be illustration?
Yes, it can. (I think) It can also be whatever I want it to be. I can use whatever I learn in illustration to inform it, anyhow. I can apply it as illustration but it can exist on many different levels.

What do I want from the course?
Connections - I want to keep meeting and contacting other practitioners. I want to find out ways into the industry that other illustrators have taken. I want the materials and resources.
I want to learn more about character and world building.
I want to learn how to conduct myself as a professional.
I want advice from the tutors and guidance on storytelling.
I want to keep learning.
I want to keep a (GOOD) sketchbook. I want to get better at drawing.

What do I want to do next?
My answer will always be the same. KEEP MAKING. KEEP EXPLORING. GO CRAZY.
