Professional artist working in TV animation | Currently co-producing & directing indie animated pilot "In the Red" about a found family running from their past.
I think every artist should experience working 9-5 at some point in their lives so they can fully appreciate how much of a privilege it is to make a living from drawing all day, some people fumble the bag really hard man
I got into the animation industry because a professional liked my fanart enough to reach out and become my friend and helped me get a job
Draw the art that makes you happy and make friends, people can sense passion and authenticity
Actual advice I need as an artist is how do you break into the industry and monetize your art when you don't have professional education or connectionsπ₯²
