I had a phenomenal time at #GDC2023 this year and I wanted to share art/career advice that I learned from my experience! 1. Current Job Market- Hiring freezes and layoffs are unfortunately rippling across the tech/entertainment industry. I met skilled senior artists 🧵(1/10)

I had the pleasure of meeting many up & coming talented artists during portfolio reviews at GDC. While there’s a TON of talent, there’s so much competition with tough times & hiring freezes. Collecting some feedback and sharing here in hopes it helps just one person. Thread 🧵

🚨THREAD ALERT🚨 As an illustrator, I’ve learned a few tips and tricks that I want to share with y'all. So, here are some practices that I’ve learned from taking a boatload of courses. #illustration #sketchbook

Had some folk ask me about getting their illustration folios ready for agent submission - so here's a thread of my top tips - 1. Make sure you have a website. It doesn't have to be flashy or expensive but it must look clean, and be easy to navigate.

This reflects my feelings on the Disney live action remakes

i only care abt stuff like this from now on

I thought the same thing. Student loan interest rates are significantly higher than a home loan or car loan. Much worse than the amount I took out to go to school is the amount I owe now and the amount I will end up paying over the life of trying to pay off this debt

100% agree with the following quote about AI art—“First, and most importantly: Making art is a deeply rewarding, soul-enriching experience. There's nothing like it. Even if AI changes or displaces jobs, isn't a life where you're making art better than a life where you aren't?”
