| Digital Arts – Illustrators find new ways to earn
A new book hails creatives who sell their own toys, T-shirts, posters and more — and encourages you to branch out.
Creative agency FL@33 has launched a glossy book gatering a mind-boggling selection of self-initiated real-world art projects by leading illustrators, designers and creative types. Featuring over 600 images and input from both leading lights in illustration and design, and enterprising startup studios, Made & Sold aims to inspire cash-strapped creatives to follow the entrepreneurial example of the case studies in the book. With sample projects ranging from vinyl toys to books and magazines, T-shirts to posters, the book showcases projects from individuals, studios and collectives. Airside, Emily Forgot, HudsonBec, James Joyce, Jeff Knowles, Jon Burgerman, and Peepshow all feature. Published by Laurence King and released in October 2009 for £19.95, Made & Sold shows that the credit crunch hasn’t necessarily led UK creatives into a creativity crunch, and celebrates the eclectic output and can-do attitude of the creative industry now. madeandsold.com
