Title: Yet another artist looking for work. (Woo!)
Post by: mudron on November 29, 2005, 04:59:18 AM
I'm a Harvey Award-nominated artist in dire need of  work - my previous work experience includes illustrations for roleplaying manuals, storyboards, concept artwork and various illustration duties for all kinds of projects ranging from videogames to comic books.

Email me at mudron@mnail.com for more info.

Hi Bill!  Welcome to the Forge.

Everyone: this guy is hot shit.

Bill: What are your rates?  I'd love to hire you, because I love your comic work, but I'm a little doubtful that I could pay you enough to make it worth your while.

Whoa.  Bill, I don't know what trail you followed to the Forge, but welcome!  I tracked Clio Chiang down a few months back and hired her to do the cover for an upcoming project, but I didn't expect any of you folks to come knocking.  I don't have any projects that need any illustration work right now, but hopefully some other people do.

Someone get this man to illustrate their game, he's awesome!  Bill's one of a number of up-and-coming illustrators and indie comics folks who've really been getting the wind in their sails recently, producing great work that's both traditionally-grounded and innovative at the same time.  Take advantage of this opportunity while small publishers like us can still afford his work! (:

Yup. Have to agree. And have to second the question: Rates?

Bill is doing some unbelievably cool stuff for Galactic. I heartily endorse his work.

Holy... This is the weirdfreakydisturbingrocking Peter Pan webcomic guy! (Everybody: go to http://www.thegreencrow.com/pages/prologue.html and start clicking to advance the panels). If we get him more paying gigs, he can do more Pan stuff!

I have to agree with Ben except I am not doubtful that I could not pay him enough to make it worth his while.  I hope you have had a lot of paying gigs here Bill.

I don't know what hot shit is... :P, but I guess.
I can only second it, these artworks are just how an artwork should look like!
Congrats!

Yeah, Bill does some excellent work, but I am not sure if the email link he has supplied is working.  I've tried twice but have not heard back from him. 

He would definitely be of service to someones project for sure.
