I'm a full-time freelancer once agian

my illustration has been deleted by me...
It was brought to my attention that it could be taken the wrong way.
It was meant to be funny and get out some of the emotion and frustration that came with loosing a dream job. So if anyone got upset seeing Mickey portrayed in that way, please except my apologies.
Again, meant to be funny not offensive. Thanks for opening my eyes to the posiblilty that not everyone would think it a great illustration.


That's right, Mikey gave me the ol "corporate axe" yesterday, so as of today...I'm going to start freelancing full time. This illustration is a little dark for me...but yesterday's experience wasn't so fun. Anyway, I've got time on my hands....should be more frequent posts!! One art director already promised a job is on it's way, so a little progress.

AHhh, that sucks, Lael. I love the painting, though-- very expressive of how you must feel. Of course, I tend to like darker styles...

I guess that's what happens when you spell Mickey's name wrong. Terrible news, man. I've been looking at some freelance animation jobs lately. I'll let you know if I see anything up your alley.

Aw man that's terrible. But Disney is evil anyway, so I'm sure you'll do better somewhere else!

Sweet editorial. Cathartic, to be sure.

I am sorry my friend. Damn this line of work anyhow. You are the most talented artist I know. It's only a matter of time before you have something else.
