The Industry Talks: The Freelance Artist Career Cheat-Sheet
About this Event
About this event
Surviving as a freelance artist in the games and animation industry seems... impossible. The shocking truth is that good art alone isn’t a sustainable business model for most people. Whether you are a young artist who’s taking their first steps or a long-time employee who has just decided to switch to a freelance career: you’ll have to tackle some tough questions. Has your imposter syndrome blinded you to see art as a business? What is a quality client and how do you negotiate a contract with them? How do you communicate your value to members of an industry who don’t know you personally? Veteran game storyboard artist Klaus Scherwinski will introduce you to the four Axioms of Freelance Art and set up your freelance career for success!
This presentation is for young professionals and students who are embarking on a freelance art career.
While the speaker is a visual development artist himself, the content of this session can be relevant to anyone in the creative media industry, from audio to design, from production management to marketing.
