Client: Art Director Tyler Resty

This client was a bit of a serendipity thing so you won't find him on my lists of potential clients. I post a lot of my artwork on instagram and a user called Tyler Resty would keep popping up and liking my artwork so I checked his profile and it says he is an art director from New York. So I thought why not contact him? He's already expressing an interest in my artwork of his own accord so I might as well give him a try. My email to him is a lot more laid back since I think it fits the situation a bit more than going in with a very formal email.

Hi Tyler,

this is RaelDanger from instagram. My real name is Sophie Stratton and I'm an illustration student from the UK. I noticed you have been liking my artwork and as it happens I have been asked by my university to contact art directors which may be interested in my work to get some feedback on my portfolio. I have a PDF portfolio I can send you it only has 6 pieces of artwork in it so it won't take up much of your time. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look, some of it will probably look familiar to you.  Since you have been expressing an interest in my artwork anyway I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I will update this post if/when I get a response.
