To support my painting practice I do digital illustrations (and I have been for many years) but I have never had this much trouble finding work. Not sure if this is an industry wide thing or just a me thing.

I’ve been having the same problem. I do brand/illustration work and clients have been really flaky. I mostly work in tech and it has been weird here. I’m not sure if it is the same in other industries or not? Freelance also subsidizes my art stuff, haha!

What’s your strategy for the next step?

Not really sure yet. I think dust will settle at some point and folks that stuck around will get work again. I’m not sure how long that will take, or if it will happen. I guess, in general, I am casting a wide net for types of gigs and roles.
