Vincent Bartley was a freelance illustrator who found a freelance project through an online freelance marketplace. He does his work in his home studio in Anchorage, Alaska. Pretty far residence for someone you’d think did work as a freelance illustrator, but with internet technology, it doesn’t matter where you live in the world. You’ll be able to find freelance work just about anywhere.
Vincent has been a freelance illustrator for thirteen years, and had always relied on using the internet to find freelance projects. Just last week, he was commissioned as an illustrator for a children’s story, and a few months ago, he was working on a safety tips comic book starring a superhero he created.

Working as a freelance illustrator was always something Vincent wanted to do, and as a child he spent his early years in school doing nothing but drawing and sharing his illustrations with friends. His parents knew that Vincent was talented, but just how talented he is, was a question that would be answered in due time.
When Vincent graduated with an art major in college he decided to immediately pursue a freelance illustrator career. He already had employers seeking his skills, but he didn’t want to work for just one company. He wanted to take on many different opportunities and being a freelance illustrator would be his ticket.
If you’re looking for a freelance illustrator who is passionate about their work, where do you begin? Online freelance marketplaces and freelance communities are a good place to start. Vincent was discovered this way. How about you?
