Enter Tom Richmond, a freelance illustrator who’s obviously mastered the caricature. And, like any true parodist, he has no problem making fun of himself. The question then is, how do we take this:
And color it beautifully, on Photoshop?

Last December, I wrote about packaging your skills as a gift. Recently, I’ve realized that freelancers are also in a great position to work for advocacy, rather than “just” charity.
Take the recent Kathy Sierra controversy. Ron Elizondo decided to do something about it, and he’s distributing a logo to raise awareness over the whole issue. […]
The need to get everything right the first time is understandable. After all, you’re being paid to produce quality output (at least, I hope you are). And how dare someone imply that you make mistakes! But perfection can prove paralyzing, causing delays that will affect ability to produce on time.
Whatever you do, you should concentrate […]
Before I reach 30, I want to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of my youth. So I do as much as I can. But there will always be times when nothing’s on the agenda, when there’s nothing better to do than channel surf, follow links and take a nap. If you’re sick of that, […]
Welcome to yet another week of work (if you really do start working on Mondays). Fellow freelancers, if you somehow need leaves for your layout, brochure, or even as an accent for your letter, essay, or photo, check out Komodo Media. Rogie King has posted some vector art of leaves. A “little gift” you […]
The truth is that many magazines rely on contributing (i.e., freelance) writers for much of their content. So if you’re looking to make a name for yourself as a writer, perhaps approaching a magazine is a great way to start. The pay is more supplementary than significant, but writing for a high-circulation magazine gives you […]
Rob Cubbon compares his client’s experiences with himself and an agency, and shows that freelancers represent more value for money:
There used to be advantages in employing large agencies for big jobs. Economies of scale, strength in numbers, experience and access to resources were benefits of the big boys over a lone ranger. Nowadays, this isn’t […]
Sam glover over at The Consumerist writes about how to negotiate as a consumer. A great list, especially since they also apply to Contract Workers:
Talk to Someone Who Can Give You What You Want. Why talk to a notoriously cheapskate client looking for a layout artist when what you want is a lucrative contract worth […]
My girlfriend and I were walking around the mall, when we saw it: an iPod banner made by yours truly supported near a wall.
Whenever I see my output in public, or a credit line thanking me for my work, I always get an ego boost (”I made that!”). But this isn’t all about self-love. […]
Elber (who happens to be a freelance photographer) narrates the story of a jilted web designer. Apparently, Adam Derbyshire:
…was asked by Michele Humphries, a member of the Ockbrook Big Band, to secure and host the domain name ockbrookbigband.com and to build and maintain two websites for her within that domain. One for the Ockbrook […]
