Fore ..... then the' ol' onion bag !'


Another, rush job, commission I've just finished for a golf playing, soccer loving, M&M eating, Weeties King .... a Birthday gift from his staff. Oh he eats dry Weetbix for breakfast too !!

.... well this all changed. I was really pleased with the golf one - the clients didn't like it ( though it was their requested theme ) so we went to a soccer theme. On proofing they often want a few minor modifications - first time a whole new body has been requested. The quote form has been adjusted so if that happens again I get adequately paid.
'The ol' onion bag' - goal net - an expression used by an Irish commentator Tommy Smyth on ESPN (possibly the worst soccer commentator in the world !!)

Cheers Luke - 'rush jobs' they're the one's from disorganised people you wedge in around the other one's to keep the cash flow going - you know sleepy ol' Perth 'I was going to ring last week but .........'

Great work Terry! I really love what you do with these, you give them great style.

How do you get your jobs? Do you work through an agent or market yourself?

Thanks Andries - they can also be a pain in the A*** too !!

I get the jobs thru my Website mostly, type caricature in Google in Perth and up I pop. I also use Google Adwords and Yellow Pages web & book. Get a lot from word of mouth these days or repeat business. Fairly steady - keeps me in Shiraz and Merlot !!
