It's time for a creative to turn his / her mind to other income generators. The face of illustration has changed drastically over the years, and adding a computer to the art box has been one of my favorite changes.
Even though everyone knows an economic slow down is the time to advertise, it is sometimes hard for clients to see through the bills to get the word out to bring clients in.
While I give them a rest and let them figure out how to put all the numbers together, I have holes in my schedule that I would love to fill with per diem and freelance illustration. Children's authors, magazine publishers, and web builders can't seem to grab the short attention span of today's audience without an image. Print ready artwork has never seen days of such ease! Direct from the artist hand into a digital format, no photos, no scanning. The artist paints in pixels that immediately jump into your workflow.
Writers and creatives lifting images off of website are running the risk of copyright infringement. Those that aren't, are running the risk of seeing their same image pop up in 20 different places for 20 different products or stories.
Lets make it work!
