Unfortunately your style does not suit our project at this time…

Over the years I’ve gotten this response to quite a lot of my submissions.  After a while, it starts to really grate on ones nerves.  It makes me want to go find out whose style actually DOES suit their project and prove to them that I can do it better than whoever they decided to hire.  I have enough confidence in my ability to illustrate just about any subject matter
effectively that I know I am the right man for the job.

If you hadn’t guessed it, this particular blog entry was an excuse to vent.
