When Answering A job Ad

When answering an job ad for art work or of any kind remember to do your research. There is -nothing- wrong with doing so.

If they are what they say they are then all things will match up.

Look up their company. Look up what they’ve previously done. Look into the artists they’ve worked with in the past. Ask them about their experiences or read their interviews about the work they did with that person/company (if available). Find their resumes on linked in, see if they found it worth even listing.

Ask about requirements.
Ask about contracts
Ask about terms of service.
Ask for references etc.
Ask about what subject matter you’ll be working with.
Ask about what you, by working for them, will be representing (ie. is the company/person anti-equality? Do you want to be associated with that?)

These are things to protect yourself.
Even if its not a scam.
you’re also protecting yourself from possibly being overworked and under paid.

And remember:
“Make sure what you draw today is what you want to draw tomorrow”

After a certain point you get known for what you start drawing. So make sure its something you’re HAPPY and EXCITED to draw. Don’t just do it for the money.

Stay safe.
Be smart.

Have a fantastic day
