It was nice to hear the input from multiple Illustrators. I'm in the middle of working my way towards just one style while clinging to variety in my portfolio for its benefit in getting me more local work. It seems that there is a point where you ultimately choose to leave that behind to make your mark with your signature style. There are always ways to add variety to your style, after all.

After a long career in a non-art related industry I've gone back to art school and am currently at this very phase of trying to figure out exactly what my style is. Having the other artists show their work as well and how they got to that point was very helpful. Thank you!
