Next Stop: The Distance: Like, this is a for real warning to illustrators, PSA, etc
I found Auntie M’s Children’s Book Publishers through tumblr channels so I know they are advertising for illustrators on tumblr.
They had me sign a contract which gave them an uncomfortable amount of authority over my work, but I signed it anyway…

If you’re hiring for a creative position, this means creating an environment where good work can exist. This is obviously a complex topic in itself, but it touches on things like process, workspace, responsibility, and the kind of projects they’ll work on. If projects consistently don’t ship, don’t get implemented properly, or get watered down to nothing, this will quickly lead to disillusionment. Don’t think that pay or hiding behind perks or good company “culture” can even this out.

A couple weeks ago we promoted the Kickstarter for the creators of the amazing short The Reward. With only 7 days left their goal of turning the short into an animated series is just about half way funded.
SunCreature Studio contacted me and asked if I would promote the Kickstarter again with the words:
We can still make it!
And really, we can still make it! We’ve reached a point in the entertainment world where we can do awesome things as the viewership. We can help fund projects and help support the things we actually love and the things we actually want to see. So when an awesome and small studio comes around like SunCreature Studio, it’s important to give them all of the love and support that we can.
It’s really important to support independent arts and films - in anyway you possibly can! And if things work out and The Reward series gets funded it’s a great feeling to know that you had a part in it.
This is a chance where you can really be a part of something special. You’re more than the audience member; here you have an opportunity to a part of the team and actually make it happen! So I say this again, we can make it happen!
Spread the love and support for this great animated team and help their project come to life! So head on over to The Reward Kickstarter and give any amount that you can. And if you can’t spare any money I’m sure it would mean just as much to the studio if you would at least spread the word and encourage others to so too! Tell everyone you know! This is a great project and they really deserve all the help they can get!
Come on Tumblr, WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

For readers interested in learning more about how not to be labeled as registered sex offenders, a good first step is not to rape unconscious women, no matter how good your grades are. Regardless of the strength of your GPA (weighted or unweighted), if you commit rape, there is a possibility you may someday be convicted of a sex crime. This is because of your decision to commit a sex crime instead of going for a walk, or reading a book by Cormac McCarthy. Your ability to perform calculus or play football is generally not taken into consideration in a court of law. Should you prefer to be known as ‘Good student and excellent football player Trent Mays’ rather than ‘Convicted sex offender Trent Mays,’ try stressing the studying and tackling and giving the sex crimes a miss altogether…
Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richardson are not the “stars” of the Steubenville rape trial. They aren’t the only characters in a drama playing out in eastern Ohio. And yet a CNN viewer learning about the Steubenville rape verdict is presented with dynamic, sympathetic, complicated male figures, and a nonentity of an anonymous victim, the ‘lasting effects’ of whose graphic, public sexual assault are ignored. Small wonder, then, that anyone would find themselves on the side of these men—these poor young men, who were very good at taking tests and playing sports when they were not raping their classmates.
