Default Re: Getting into the Business

Are you moving to Hawaii? You will probably have more opportunities in the Northeast US, based on where the most work has been traditionally in our industry. However, if you have existing contacts in another region, that's worth exploiting.

Once you have some skills in place you can look at some of the studios for what you still need to do to be a good candidate for employment. Otherwise, you will have to jump into the pool as a freelancer or one-man shop. That can certainly be done but it's not a cakewalk, either. You do have the advantage of already being a successful illustrator, of course.
