Hi Abby...good for you...work for free, are you having a laugh? I'd like to see someone walk into Restaurant Gordon Ramsey and ask for a 'freebie'...I wouldn't expect my brake discs & pads replacing free of charge. No,I probably wouldn't expect you to invoice a family member for a personal gift. Original artwork is 'priceless'...it must be difficult knowing how to price a piece of work. Best wishes
You’ve hit the nail on the head there Dave! You wouldn’t even consider asking for any of those things for free, so why is art and creative disciplines any different?! I have wondered for a while if it’s partly because they’re deemed a ‘luxury’ or seen by most as a hobby not a job…either way I’m so happy to hear you’re championing artist! We need people like you to speak for us when we can’t.
Hey...you illustrated the cover of 'forget me not'...I didn't know that...now I'm even more impressed! I happened to look at some of your 'back catalogue' of studio snippets and there it was...book cover art...it's like a portal to another world. So, I'm currently reading Stephen King's latest book 'Never Flinch' - cover art by Simon Prades(small print inside back - look closely)...apparently he does illustrations mostly for 'editorial' (? I googled it). Other than cover artwork there's not much demand for illustration work with SK. Hmmn...so much I didn't /don't know about the world of creative...
Yes I did, and chapter illustrations in a slightly different style to ‘To Have Or To Hold’. It was great to work with Sophie again!
Ah that’s cool - lots of illustrators diversify their portfolio so they can work in different sectors. Like publishing, editorial, advertising, packaging etc. I for one like variety!
