ART for a McGraw-Hill school textbook. I'm throwing this in since i like doing kid's books for the amount of money on a book advance you can get. It can be steady work. I ponder to myself if I will get any work from this ARTWANTED site. If any art directors (art buyers) will stumble on to my work among the avalanche of quite a few weekend artists with day jobs and students on this site. I try to put my work on every conceivable art site so my name will pop up on google. It is tough out there in the Illustration profession. Stock art is eroding commissions and even India art studio sweatshops are cutting into my market for a piece of the pie. What I despise more than anything is clients asking to see a sketch without compensation before they hire you. As if you were a novice on an audition. I want to rip their spleen out. Or at least give them an harangue on their bewilderment that this is not a hobby but a livelihood. Fasolino has left the Building.
