WORKING FOR THE FAN
As a freelancer I've always made a good living working for whatever company that is in need of my services. You're always on a bit of a roller coaster as good times and bad times come and go. But whatever the job, you are always adjusting your work to the needs of the client. As long as the pay is good, the people you work with are pleasant, and the work isn't too weird, it's not a bad way to make a living.
Working on your own personal projects is much more rewarding, but the pay is usually very little. And while you are always hoping that whatever creation of yours that you are working on will bring you fame and fortune, the real motivating factor is that you are doing exactly what interests you.
True, there are occasional difficult ones, but I assume these people are the folks who will eventually wind up being either an art director or an editor. And I've rarely had the problem of doing something for a discounted price, only to see it up on e-bay soon after.

There a many more of these on my flicker site:
All of these pieces are superb, Mike. I am especially impressed by your period piece with the men and women dancing. Exquisite work!
ReplyDeleteThis was a very fun piece to work on.It is Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski in "The Fearless Vampire Killers", a very delightful movie. Usually folks just want a pen and ink drawing, so getting a commission to do a painting was also a treat...and a challenge.
