Today, somehow I feel a little bit more like a proper illustrator. I now have an agent (the delightful chaps and chapesses at Lemonade) who will represent me worldwide. Look, here's my page on their site

I'm amazed (and not a little intimidated) to be amongst some fantastic talents such as my friend Neil Roberts and am proud to be part of their push into the States. Look at this poster. There I am, tucked in near the top with the latest dinkybox header.

So, why do I need an agent, especially in this world where I can have a website that the whole world can see along with a presence on countless other artwork and networking sites? Well, I guess the easiest answer is for the sort of exposure and introductions to potential projects I would never normally get through just having this webpage. It, sort of, marks you out as being serious about what you do and, dare I say it, professional.  It also, hopefully, leaves me to get on with the artwork and doing the thing I'm (supposedly) good at. What I hope to do is mix that grown-up side with my own home-grow projects (a bit more on this later) so this is where the real hard work starts.
