Hello, and welcome to my page. I have been a professional sketch card artist for 10 years this coming November 2017. In that time frame, I have created over 2,500 sketch cards with over 75% of that number being on licensed stock for such companies as Strictly Ink, Topps, Upper Deck, Cult Stuff, Perna Studios, Unstoppable Cards, Viceroy Limited, Versicolor, Breygent and Robert Aragon.
When I first started out, I learned from others different way on handling the business side of the hobby. I have learned the right and wrong way of doing things both from watching others and my own actions. I hope to be able to explain how to do things so that the companies that hire you... hire you back, you make the most money that is available for your artwork and brand yourself for maximum exposure.
This blog won't necessarily be about the art rendered, but by how to do the business and marketing side of things. That includes from sending in samples to companies to finishing the cards in time for deadline, managing multiple sets at the same time and how to invoice properly so that you get paid.
I will also be setting up a Patreon account where I will actually be creating some marketing tools and other informational sheets so that you can have some professional looking materials for your next show or marketing campaign to sell your return cards (or artist proofs) which I will also explain later.
I am also available for consultation on a one to one basis.
Next up: How to invoice properly and what to expect on getting paid.
