Hi. I am currently freelancing and trying to push the illustration aspect of my portfolio. I started off as an illustrator but then ended up working as a designer most of my career. Illustration is what I truly love to do though. I just need to get more steady work. Any advice on my portfolio? Thanks!

Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

Hi! Any art directors or creative directors open to giving some feedback via DM on my portfolio? I have mostly in-house experience, and could use guidance on what I might do to get in with agency work and more branding.

How often is everyone updating their portfolio? Should I be updating mine every few months or would be okay to go longer?

So here's the deal: I've been in the industry for 8 years now—and I still feel my best work is my spec work. Is there a point at which it's simply no longer appropriate to show spec work in a book?
