How the *&!?$* do you find (more) illustration work and get clients?

I've boiled it down to 6 delicious* steps for you

*…the steps are not delicious. I lied about that bit. Can you just hold my coffee for a second? Thank you.

Here’s a video all about what I do to get way more illustration work than I can do by myself 😅

Over the past few years, I’ve built up my illustration freelancing a LOT - in fact, I got so obsessed with figuring out how to attract shiny new illustration clients that I accidentally started an agency. We’ve worked with Netflix, Google, Apple, Meta, most of the UK & USA’s top universities, the World Health Organisation, United Nations, bla bla bla etc. and every single day there are new enquiries in my inbox, even though I don’t post on social media daily. (I think I post about twice a month, in a good month.)

Right now I’m actually trying to figure out how to slowww 🐌 the agency stuff down so that I can take more day-baths and afternoon naps, but that’s another story for another time.

OK, I’m finished tooting my horn now, thanks for holding my coffee.

That was very kind of you.

Here’s the video. It’s about 14 minutes long so maybe go for a pee or get a drink before you sit down to watch it.

Behooold:

This is all the stuff I wish someone had told me in about 2016, when I was doing ANYTHING, for ANYONE (a rite of passage as an early-career creative freelancer?) and desperately wondering howwww all those other bloody illustrators were getting consistent paid work.

Be lovely to see you in there!
