Cartoonists Enrich Life – Cartoons Can Bring Laughter To Your Business

cartoon

Are you looking for a cartoonist to help in your business?

Cartoonists’ forums are a great way to source cartoonists with particular skills or flair. The cartoonists forums accommodate cartoonists who are very experienced professional cartoonists and those who are beginners or drawing cartoons just for fun (hobby cartoonists).

Quite often the cartoonists on those forums will have cartoon drawing competitions where you can see cartoonist versus cartoonist go into battle armed only with humor and artistic ability. The competition is fierce and the results are fantastic. If you enjoy reading cartoon gags you should enjoy viewing those cartoonist forums.

Most cartoonist’s forums have a ‘cartoonists work/job offers’ section for anyone who wishes to post offers of work. Here you can stipulate the type of cartoonist skills you are seeking and, of course, the type of cartooning work required.

All interested cartoonists can then make contact with you and you can take it from there.

If you visit the sites of the cartoonists (which you can find by checking out the cartoonists profiles on the cartoonists forum) you will be able to identify those cartoonists who provide commercial style cartoons.

If you, for example, are in the merchandise business and you are seeking a cartoonist to draw funny cartoons and write cartoon gags for use on t-shirts, caps, mugs, etc., then you can pretty much take your pick form the cartoonists out there.

It is merely a question of finding one who’s sense of humor you share and whose cartoon style you like and feel your target market will also like.

Not all of the cartoonists on the cartoonist’s forum hire out services, but I am sure many of them would be delighted of any unexpected offers.

Your Questions About Comic Artist Salary
Sep 16th, 2011 by Aldouspi

Mary asks…

What is the average salary of a newspaper comic strip artist?

I think I have a pretty cool idea for a comic strip, but before I get all worked up about it, I just want to see if the money is even worth it.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Pin-up answers:

They usually get national Syndicators who sell it to many newspapers and split fees.

So imagine it’s $10 per newspaper and you split a percetage with the syndicator.

Carol asks…

How much is the basic salary for a comic book artist?

Hourly rate? or per piece? or by contract?

Pin-up answers:

It can vary greatly. Some are payed by the amount they make (per piece) and for others. it is a contract for what they can finish. This is why when at any comic or anime con you see artists working when not talking to fans. Their time is money to them, and if they can make a few extra bucks by a con appearance that just benefits them some what. => Yet they still may have a dead line to finish stuff by.

General annual salary for the working artist can range from $20,000 to $50,000, and more, if you can get into specialty prints and other commercialization of your art…

Robert asks…

How much do comic book artists make? salary vs. hourly rate or a set fee? Also do they get a percentage if…

they create a character/design a costume/etc. I’m just curious i wanna go to art school but i don’t know….

Pin-up answers:

Depends on the comic book popularity and what the artist can negotiate.

Usually not much for beginning illustrators.

Top level artists such as Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Alex Ross et al can negotiate for a lot more.

As far as character ownership – that is a big struggle more often won by the publisher. You have to be a big artist, or go independent, to usually keep rights to any character you create.

Still, if you have talent as an artist – comics maybe the place to get that art job…

Chris asks…

comic book artists salary?

exactly HOW do comic book artists get payed? by the page or something? lol

Pin-up answers:

Usually you are assigned a number of pages – to draw, ink, letter or color or a combination of all of these. You may be assigned to draw several issues of a comic – and if the readers love you – you salary can go up… (and you get more work).

Sharon asks…

Does anyone know what education is needed for a comic artist?

I’m actually doing a homework assignment about a career I’m interested in, and we have to fill out benefits, work requirements, promotion opportunities, salary range, experience requirements, and “other considerations.” It’s pretty tough trying to find all of this online. Can anybody shed any light on the matter? It’d be greatly appreciated!

Pin-up answers:

You can go to college for comic artists.

FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City has a good comic program I believe.
