Very interesting for graduating illustrators...
PRICING: THE KEY TO NOT DESTROYING EVERYONE’S CAREER Words by Steven Bonner . Illustration by Allan Deas . OK, so the title sounds a little melodramatic, but on some level, it’s pretty damn close to the truth. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a veteran freelancer, or an out-of-office-hours illustrator doesn’t matter – we all want to be paid a fair rate for what we do. You do. I do. It’s a given. The only problem is, a lot of us are out there working, but without knowledge on what’s fair, so when a client comes along and offers to pay you a fixed fee for a job, or sets a daily rate for the same thing, it’s all too easy to smile, shake their hand and be their new best friend for a while.

Hi James,
ReplyDeleteI love these plates! Could you tell us a bit about how you make them and what kind of varnish you use as sealant?
Thanks, Carole
Hey,
ReplyDeleteThe plates were made onto thick card and are basically just made from just various textures paper and everyday items that I had found. I also used some kind of wall filler paste to create the lumpier sections and then scribed into that. All stuck down with a good helping of PVA.
As for the varnish I am not sure what its called but I can find out for you.
Thanks, James
