From the start of your story, there is one part of me that wants to get to the point where I can sell my art and do freelance.
Also congrats on Biennale of the illustration 2018 and I personally would go for first, third, fourth and/or fifth. If I were to pick the third then I think The Assembly is good.
Dude, I'm not there yet! The freelance part is the easy thing, just get 99designs or Upwork account and start grinding.
Thank you for the support and the suggested picks! Going to think about it! :) Welcome to the blockchain!
I'll take a note of those and you're welcome. Glad to help out! :)
Let me know if you have some progress in your freelance career mate! :)
Right now I have three years in experience and I am still learning in the process but I will let you know but I may send you an artwork I am currently working on and I will tell you by sending it to you when it's finished.
