upon moved on. he is doing well and still making beautiful art and music.

So he's still a professional? I kind of thought he dropped that

Why would anyone work hard on his art for years, only to drop it when you have become good enough to finally be able to make a comfortable living with it?

because he's not good enough yet and his art seems to be geared towards a niche audience
I like his art but I wouldn't exactly hire him for marketing illustrations or production work

Last time he posted on /ic/, he mentioned that he gets more job offers than he can possibly handle, which is why he no longer cares about improvement, because it's too easy to get well paying jobs at his current skill level. You don't have to be the next Craig Mullins or Jaime Jones to make a comfortable living with art.

mind posting his folio so us newfags can get an idea of what the level at which you get "more job offers than you can possbily handle" is? because if he is no jaime jones or craig mullins, im hella curious

>You don't have to be the next Craig Mullins or Jaime Jones to make a comfortable living with art.

comforting to hear. but you DO have to be the next them, in order to satisfy your artistic ego... atleast that's how i roll.

It's not just about the quality of your art, it's also about marketing yourself and getting potential clients to look at your stuff.

Yeah, if you are good at something you can make money with it. Are you stupid or something? Why would that be a surprising revelation to you? In what profession do you have to be amongst the greatest in the world just to start making money with it? There are thousands of artists way worse than Upon who make a living with art.

I left just after he stopped coming on as much. Just started back a few weeks ago. People shit on /ic/ a lot but I think the quality has improved., more posters and shit. Although the old collab threads were amazing and produced some really good stuff.
