Today's question — or questions — come from Jess Minc. The actual question and answer starts at 16:35! Some pretty good chit-chat before that though :)
Getting noticed by — and connected with — art directors can be tough! Meanwhile, you could doing good work and getting it in front of everyone else!
This is a revised AND IMPROVED! version of the video I posted on Monday, April 8th, 2018.
Ask me anything about illustration. Leave your questions and comments in the comments or via Instagram or Twitter (links below).
In this video, I kick off with a bit of chit chat about the past week — one of the hardest ones in a long time. I make a special announcement about my Workshop at ICON 10. I then do my best to tackle some of the questions sent by regular question-asker Jess Minc! We talk about how to connect with art directors, whether "fake" projects are a portfolio faux-pas, and what you can be doing when you're not getting the attention of your dream clients.
