I work full time as a freelance artist nowadays Before I worked as a barista, working very early hours and then pretending it could work out to go sit drawing comics for 5 hours more (it didn't). I feel like I've been somewhat robbed of time I should have spent getting better at drawing, but I keep forgetting that I learned how to make awesome coffee, sell stuff and I met a whole lot of people I wouldn't have met otherwise.
Other than making comics there are a few illustration gigs and I do a lot of workshops at schools, teaching kids how to tell stories with images. It's a whole lot of fun! And here and there I do other projects that isn't in my "normal" routine, like animation or doing visualization at seminars.
