This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome Comic Creator Sammy Ward to unpack the story of her journey into the world of illustration and sequential art. Sammy started making comics in 2018 and has since gone on to be listed in Broken Frontier’s ‘Six to Watch’ for 2022. We talk about making the decision to go full-time as a freelance creator, the challenges that come with pricing your work, and how crowd funding platforms like Kickstarter and Ko-fi play a role in financially sustaining a creative passion. This is a great discussion for those looking to get started with making a living from your art.
