I found good illustration commissions were ‘few and far between’. This was a real bother for me. Then I started looking for areas of need/interest in my clients’ business. I was fortunate to find an opportunity I could fill and now, in addition to my private illustration/design work, I have a renewable contract with a publisher.

The pay is not overly ‘fantastic’, but I am assured of something reasonable at month’s end and still get to continue my private practice.

This weekend I commented on the Weekend Forum over at Escape from Illustration Island about how I make money as an artist, specifically all the diversification I do to further my career.  Today Thomas James wrote a follow up piece about the responses, and some excerpts of what I wrote were featured.  You can read about what I and other illustrators said about making money as an artist on Escape from Illustration Island.
