Mar022015: Getting into Freelance

Tumblr
"Hi! I love your posts on making comics, I'm currently working on my own. However, I'd also like to do freelance illustration like you do, and I'm sure you get this a lot, but is there any advice you can give for getting jobs, noticed, etc? Or is it mostly just push out your own content until people notice?" (more…)

Jan292015: Don't Wait for Improvement

Tumblr
"Just thought I'd say that I just found your blog today and your thing about starting your own web comic has got me inspired. I'm the kind of person who keeps putting off drawings because I'm waiting until I'm good enough but I realize now I shouldn't wait because if I wait I'll never do it. Improvement isn't something that comes will come to me it's something I have to go after by working hard, working often and by pushing my boundaries. Thank you." (more…)

Apr082012: Friendly Crit from an Old Friend

Tumblr
"Well I've always admired your sense of design and color and balance! I think you should spend more time practicing drawing things in 3d though. Sometimes there's some elements in your illustrations that just wind up looking really flat! For example, on one picture you uploaded recently, with the old man and the robotic pigeons, the hat he's wearing looks really flat, and not like it's a part of the picture!" (more…)
