Opinions?

I'm getting ready to go to the LA SCBWI Conference. Yay!!!! I feel so grateful that I get to go this year, but I also feel somewhat unprepared. I've had so many things happening in my life all at once, I'm just trying to keep everything straight.

So, if I could beg a little help, I'd love to hear anyone's opinion on which image I should use as a postcard to give away at the conference. Thank you so much for your opinion!

The Tourists
Circus
The Summer Garden
Birdland
Anyone else going to the conference this year? If you are an artist, Tina Kugler has compiled lots of links to tips about preparing your portfolio and what to expect. Check it out at Between the End Pages!

  2. I like Birdland & Tourist equal, but if just one, I vote Birdland. I'm sure you'll do great at LA SCBWI Conference

  6. The circus...no, the flower one...actually the birds....final answer...the....circus...they're all great! What time are you getting to LA? I'll be there early on Thursday.

  7. I would use The Summer Garden. The others do what they do well but they have some elements of perplexity. However, this adds the pull that can enhance the effectiveness of the writer so the others have their place certainly. But taken out of context, The Summer Garden seems both simpler in purpose and more complete so perhaps a better elevator pitch.

  8. I correct myself...didn't scroll far enough to Birdland...Birdland is first, Summer Garden second...all are great work.

  9. Thank you, Steve & Julia! :)
    Julia- I'm getting there about noon, but my parents are picking me up and we'll do some stuff around LA. So I won't get to the hotel until late Thursday. I'll look for you on Friday!

  10. They are all so wonderful, but I like the tourist. Such a universal theme. Amy
