I’ve just updated my Ultimate Artist Contract Template and I’m really proud of how much stronger it is now. It’s built from years of real client work and real problems, and it’s designed to help artists protect their time, their rights and their income without the legal headaches.

If you work with clients, this will make your life easier.

I wrote a thing on using social media as an artist. It reads a bit like a conspiracy theory, but it's honestly not. Please give it a read and let me know what you think.

Thank you Stephen for the very nice review of the Ultimate Artist Contract Template. Feedback like this is always appreciated. ☺️ If you'd like to grab a copy yourself, you can find it here: https://shop.hireillo.com/l/artist-contract
I wanted to chill for 10-minutes, so I thought I'd share a photo I took near Littlehampton a few months ago to encourage others to do the same. 🕊️
My laptop case was looking a little worse for wear, so I treated it to a shiny new one! Which means cracking out a fresh batch of stickers. 😃 How many artists do you recognise and can name?

I wrote this as a script for a video on why artists should have an identifiable illustration style, but who has time to record videos these days? So, I’ve turned it into a blog post instead. Check it out on Hireillo!

Had an awesome convo with comic artist Jason Piperberg, from breaking into the industry to life stuff you don’t normally hear about online. https://youtu.be/DJPJ5Z-g5WU
