Did you know I have a heart for Illustrators? I am mesmerized and always amazed at how they work and create. And I know so many who struggle to make illustration their sole focus because it is hard to make a living as an illustrator.

But why? Are there not enough jobs for illustrators out there? Why do super talented illustrators have a hard time finding consistent illustration work or have problems breaking into the industry. I would love to solve this quandary.

I also know quite a few who have to take on full time gigs, or take on design clients when really their passion is illustration. I would love to create tools and resources that would help no one to ever feel like that.

If you are in a similar situation with your illustration career or have been I would love to know what your struggle is. Can you click on this link and tell me?
