How to Ditch Your Day job and Become a Full Time (Insert Job Here!)

This article written by Anna Wray, “How to ditch your day job and become a full time illustrator,” came via Creative BloQ, and it's a “must” read for anyone who is thinking about becoming a successful independent (freelancer) Artist. Just substitute the word “Illustrator” for whatever is that you love to do!

In the article they cover the following:

• Choose your specialty...
• Setting aside a specific time to work...
• Offer “friend’s rates”...
• Send something lovely in the mail...
• Sell stock illustrations...
• Start a part-time course...
• Contact agents...
• Embrace social media..
• Keep going...

Again, a must read for any Artist who is considering the “big jump!”

Creative Handbook: Great "Listing" for Artists

Creative Handbook: a great “showcase” for people in the Entertainment Industry who are looking to list themselves:

(Click on the image!)

You can list yourself so that those who are in search to hiring - Recruiters, Studios’ Art Directors and producers, Commercial Producers, Television Networks, Feature Filmmakers, TV Shows, Event Producers and Themed Entertainment Companies, can find you...

You may be asking yourself: “...I’m a Traditional Artist, I draw... Why should I list myself in here?!...” Well, who makes the Storyboards for all those movies? What about Concept Designs for a Commercial; who draws those designs, the Producers? This handbook is for ALL those with jobs or skills that are used in these Industries... not only Gaffers or Food Services!...

Cheers!
