Does anyone here have an agent? What kind of professional work do you do? (Illustration, comic art, graphic design, concept art?) Have they been of great help? How do you find an agent?

Yes, I make illustration for magazines, big gaming studios and host over 170 artists who make posters and marketing stuff.
here's my opinion on what you should think;
agents are shit unless you have created your own working studio (game studio, comic studio, newspaper illustrator you name it).
Just git gut and don't think about it yet, you'll know when you'll need one because by then you'll have trouble managing artists you hired and the art requests you receive.

>>6669176
but don't writers, actors, and musicians all have their own agents? They don't run their own studio, most of the time... (except maybe the big musicians)

nononono you understood me wrong, I told you that right now, you don't need an agent because you are probably a grown man in his 20's sitting on his ass shitposting with anime pictures on 4chan.
You don't have any studio right now nor do professional work so why would you need one.
This is a personal advice, from yours truly.

I'd be interested in hiring someone to manage my social media accounts and growing them because I just want to draw, not worry about all the other bullshit

you will rue the day you underestimated me. I will have you know I'm *extremely* good at drawing, and I'm on the cusp of making it. Imagine what will happen if we become colleagues, and I snoop on your laptop and find that rembrandt portrait named "124214" on it? Imagine what consequences you will face on that day.

In simpler words, dear anon ~ this is a cope thread and you are a permabeg who wants to have a look inside the industry out of delusion that he may one day be there. Unless you stop posting on 4chan you'll never be good, and I can laugh all I want at you when I have a day off or two.

Okay being serious for a momen, an agent can be anyone, even an Intern will do as long as you tell him to properly manage, document and catalogue your work and deadlines. They should take care of all that AND look out for new opportunities and ways of advertising. Basically a secretary on steroids.
Professional agents usually advertise themselves as "business agents" or info brokers, they are the best sort to buy (but they cost quite the sum) if you need a right hand-extension.

also pyw, you got me curious there for a moment.

I don't need anyone to manage my documents, I just need someone who will vouch for me and write my contracts. I need someone who can negotiate with publishers and writers, and someone who will promote my work.
