I'm currently a student, studying to become and ESL/TEFL teacher. Hopefully it will make me better at spelling/editing my novels and comics lol.
What do you do for a living/what are you studying?
Sounds great! My day job is a military intelligence analyst. I don't put much of that into my comic, though!
Welding and sandblasting... play with fire, sand, electricity all the time
Working on getting my masters in healthcare managment (focus on quality managment and epidimiology), working as a graduate assistant, and play on my colleges tennis team.
I'm a storyboard artist for commercials and film.
I write and draw my comics full time but after a decade of the crushing loneliness that comes from such an isolating job I started pursuing stand up comedy a few years ago and its not much but I made about $2k from it total in 2024 and it goes up a little bit every year which feels really encouraging!
really? that's so cool. did you start out making comics freelance or do you work for a company as well?
Sewing, jogging, video games... but I'm on my way on becoming a policeofficer (currently in second year of training) so my time is very limited ^^' my wish is to get into criminal investigation in the future
I started with just posting my stuff online and collecting the work in self published books that I would take to cons where I eventually connected with the publishers I work with now. In between I would do some freelance illustration and comics work for magazines and such. I still do some freelance every once in a while but very rarely. Mostly I’m just working on books for my publishers!
I fix cars. I'm the lead tech at a European specialty shop so I work on everything from BMW's & Benz's to Ferraris and Fiats.
These are my typical day: Timing chains in an Audi A4...
Engine replacement in a BMW 335:
I'm getting my degree in mechanical engineering and I spend a lot of time at the lab(evil) but for work I'm a TA/grader. Some of my machines from the lab, we make actuators:
Digital Media artist. Back in the day it meant intractive media, website, graphic, illustration, print media like covers, posters, etc.Pre Epilepsy it was full time for a consulting firm, now its commissions.
I work in biotech. Started in research, transitioning to manufacturing (new year, new me?) hahaha. My current novel (https://tapas.io/series/A-monsters-heart/info for those who are interested) does not have any influence from my work, but I actually have an unpublished WIP that does. Hoping to publish it as well if my current one is received well (fingers crossed).
