Five years into a career as an Art Director at an advertising agency, Penelope Dullaghan realized she was spending as much time lingering over illustrators' portfolios as she was spending coming up with ads. It wasn't long before she was handing in her notice, enjoying beer and schnitzels at her going-away party and heading out on her own. Since this fateful leap, she has established working relationships with clients ranging from a lady who bakes organic cookies to United Airlines, which, you know, flies all around everywhere.
Her discipline for working under deadline and relentlessly seeking assignments is a holdover from her agency days, but her prolific output and knack for self-expression goes back even further. Penelope maintains that "Inspiration is everywhere. It's the banana peel on the street or the big-haired lady sitting at the bar. And it's all there, feeding you."
For visitors to her portfolio site and online journal, penelopeillustration.com, Penelope herself is a source of inspiration, as is another site she created, illustrationfriday.com. Illustration Friday, which currently draws some 800 participants per week, was begun as a way to help people challenge themselves weeklythinking about a topic, coming up with a conceptual illustration... flexing their creative muscles.
Penelope's creative muscles have been getting quite a workout lately, as her style expands and her artistic development continues.
'Everything is necessary,' she says of this ongoing process. 'Each piece of art is an outgrowth of ourselves... of our thoughts and beliefs. The art we make reflects how we're seeing the world. That's all it can do, and all it should do.'
