Lately, we've been taking small steps toward animation and pushing character expression in our illustration work. This boy will be one of the main characters in a children's book we're developing on our own.

Show Me the Money
If you're like me, one aspect of freelancing that usually feels odd is talking about money with clients. And if there's a lack of communication when a budget is concerned it can lead to a nightmare. I've learned my lesson many times. Actually, I've discovered that being upfront about money builds a successful relationship with our clients.
Usually, a client has a budgeted illustration cost in mind. We usually try to take the initiative and bring the issue of money to the forefront. In the past, I would get sweaty palms and there was a nervous tone in my voice--I was even aware of it!! But after awhile I realized that it's all business. Getting squeamish over "money talk" is not worth it. Our numbers either work or they don't! The goal is about coming to an agreement--quite simple.
