Drawing for a Living – Podcast episode 29

by Palle Schmidt 5 Comments


Inspired by an article Molly Crappable wrote on freelance life, I sat down and had a discussion with myself about what it takes to survive as a one-man army. If you’re a struggling freelancer or considering becoming one, this episode is for you!

    Very helpful – thanks! How do I find a studio to work in? (I live in Copenhagen).

      Tegnestuen Gimle, Pinligt Selskab, Kulkælderen. Those are three that I know of. Start out with asking to come sit for a week and offer to bring coffee. That’s usually welcomed. Then you can sort of feel each other out. Even a week surrounded by pros with their nose to the drawing board will prove wonders for your productivity, trust me! Best of luck – Tell them I sent you!

      Facebook certainly has it’s uses, true! I just tend to lose hours whenever I go there, so I try to stay away 🙂

      Thanks, Deth!
