It’s great to see when people find work and that leads to more creativity or more responsibility and/or better money. And then, before you realize it, they are a recognized artist with an award or something more. It’s also great when someone just finds a place within the art community, regardless if it’s illustrating. Being a working professional, using your artistic skills and degree to make a living and pay your bills with what you went to school for – that’s gratifying!
