PPP2: A Reply from Ian McQue

I have desired to reach out to various illustrators and ask them about their practice, my initial issue was that I didn't particularly know what to ask them.

However, my work during this module has made me curious how certain practitioners promote themselves.

I sent the follow message to IanM cQue, and got a response from Tracy, who apparently handles the emails.

Hello,

I was wondering whether you used anything physical to promote yourself, such as a promotional pack or business card? If it's possible could I see them?

Thanks.

HI Adam. We don't use anything physical at all for promotional purposes - it pretty much all comes via Twitter and Facebook. We have a small card that we pop in with book orders but it's just our twitter handle, email address and the bigcartel website where we sell the books and prints.

So, sorry - got nothing we can show you physically I'm afraid. Thanks for your interest though.

I would suggest that the large online social following is give the brand of 'Ian McQue' enough momentum to operative without the need of physical promotion, the products alone are enough.
