'Welcome to Freelancing': A timely reading of 'Champagne and Wax Crayons' chapter 4

In September 2006 began one of the toughest spells in my creative industry career. It was the big monstrous 'before' bit. Suddenly cut off from tutorial input, peers, and credible workspace after 7-years in full-time arts education, I lost all sight of the dream freelance illustration career while working a full-time job, completely demotivated. This is detailed in chapter 4 of 'Champagne and Wax Crayons: Riding the Madness of the Creative Industries.' My debut memoir, a book about turning creativity into a career will soon be released in a new e-book format, so here is a reading of Chapter 4: 'Welcome to Freelancing.' I hope it will help all you new, soon-to-be, or once-upon-a-time graduates in some way, or at least make you laugh. https://www.bentallonwriter.com/shop/p/champagne-and-wax-crayons-riding-the-madness-of-the-creative-industries https://illustrationx.com https://bentallon.com https://twitter.com/bentallon
