No Sleep 'Til Deliverable

Ah, sleep. The enemy of freelancers everywhere. Free work is also the enemy of freelancers everywhere, but sometimes you gotta get that shit done.

MOUSE OVER

You can sleep when you're dead!

 

PANEL 1

Ally frowns at her note pad.

ALLY

So, I think I worked out a schedule. Man, Kane, you’re gonna hate this.

KANE

…That’s not enough time.

 

PANEL 2

Ally tries to calm him down

ALLY

I know. It’s bad. We have a little less than a week to get this sorted. Calling vendors and getting permits is going to take more time than we expected. And that’s on top of all the social stuff we’ve got to get out. Is there, I don’t know, some way to cheat on the illustrations?

 

PANEL 3

Kane scowls.

KANE

Sure. If we want to be known for making crap. I mean, even if I use generic templates for most of it, unless you want me to use clip art, I’ve got to put in some real time.

Hmm

What if—

 

PANEL 4

Kane proposes an idea.

ALLY

No. No free work.

KANE

 

Well, how the fuck else can I get this done? I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to go off the clock on this one. I don’t sleep anyway.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
