The State of the Free-Lance Cartooning Biz


Hello fellow sketchers. I decided to take the plunge and post my first "gem of thought' for the Cincinnati Illustrators blog.

This is my take on the current climate of the free-lance biz. In particular, print, where most of my toast is buttered. Strangely, as soon as I completed this piece, I was swamped with work and was busier than I've been in five years. Truly the illustration gods smile upon me.

Anyway, hope you like it. I shall try to post on a regular basis.

  1. I am glad you posted this strip. It ties in to some of the discussions Scott posted a while ago.

    I have a feeling as this economy shakes out, many will relate to the cartoon. (I know several people in non-related fields who feel the same way-some are MBAs!)

    Thanks for the great entry!

  5. Brian,

    Lepers and zombies are the rage right now. Especially those new kind of zombies that can sprint like Carl Lewis.

    David,

    The Wal-Mart blue vest gives off just the right combination of friendliness and Barney Fife-like authority.
