Free agent

This might be a long one.
What's happened since last post? Lot's I think.
First of all, I started on a freelance site, just to see what I get back y'know.
I think it went well, I got a kid's poetry book to illustrate and some corporate safety dragon thing, stay tuned for their development I guess. I also got a short notice EP cover to do, I think it came out pretty good.

They wanted a Gorillaz style thing, with the singers as the characters. I have no idea y they wanted paper aeroplanes, maybe it's on one of the tracks. I don't know where the border came from, They sounded kind of urban/r'n'b, and the EP was originally called Girls and all that Garbage, so I just doodled everything I associated with music and women. the fact that that resulted in stabbed hearts a female serpent, porn, money, drugs, and soiled bra and condom is perhaps a little worrying.. They wanted sketchy, I'm not completely happy with it, I'm sure there is a polished sketchy I can achieve. It feels a little wrong to charge for a style that is essentially rushed and uncoordinated. It was last minute though, and they were happy, so that's all that really matters.

I had to be especially quick because I was due in to Europe the next day. I somehow managed to find time to watch the Avengers though. I think it is perfect, although I need to see it a few more times before I can be sure. I started writing about it, but I'm gonna split this post up lol, too much otherwise

I got it sent off eventually though, and got paid. It was so great to make official, to tell people that I'm a freelance artist instead of having to bore them about how much I hate my job. I'm kind of excited, not to jinx it, but it kind of feels like the start of something good. And I needed a win.

Came back from hols to find a few more freelance requests as well. Good times.
