whoever said freelancing was easy was lying, probably to get you into bed.

when you're freelancing, kiddies, the following things are very important:

1) make sure you fully understand whether or not you're their hired arteest. make sure you get all of the particulars, and if you're competing with other designers on a project and the chosen design is the one that gets paid... make sure you know that, too.

2) it's a shot in the dark sometimes when you're given a comp to follow. sometimes they like it when you shift things around a little. sometimes they don't. and sometimes when they don't, they really don't. maybe follow the comp you're given to the letter, and then when you send it to them suggest some changes instead of just doing it.

3) communication is key, people.

in other much more fun news, i got hired to work at a party on september 4th! for four hours that evening i'll be walkin around the 70s themed party doing my crazyass fun scribbles!

what's that? get paid to hang out at a party with drunk people and draw their madcap antics? yes please! very exciting. i'm dusting off my fro wig as we speak.

i'm kidding. i don't really have a fro wig. but i really wish i did.

and you know you love it, there's a new t-shirt transfer photo in the store! buy a tee and join the jackassery!
