I’ve already written a post on what to do when you’re work gets used (stolen) without your permission last year, but as it still happens to me and other illustrators so many times I think it’s time to bring this topic up again and dive in a bit deeper. Why I am writing this blog post?

In early 2013, less than 14% of all web traffic came from mobile devices; today, that number has grown to 53%. In other parts of the world the difference is even more staggering: in African countries, more than 64% of web traffic is from mobile devices ; in India, nearly 78% of traffic is mobile. This is a big deal, because all 248 million new internet users in 2017 lived outside the United States.

The thing about making a living out of creative work is that you have to continually put your work up for the scrutiny of others in order to find opportunities. Whether you are approaching companies for commissions, applying for creative opportunities or posting personal projects on social media, it can sometimes feel quite vulnerable.

Like it or not, people judge books by their covers. We all know that we’re not supposed to… But we do it anyway. And, honestly – how else can you really choose? In a store packed with books (or sitting at home browsing Amazon) your book cover design is the most effective way to catch people’s attention. It doesn’t matter what’s between the covers if no one ever bothers to open them.

You’ve been asked to design a profile screen for a mobile or web app. It will need to include an avatar, a name, a job title, and a location. You fire up Sketch or Figma. Maybe you pull out your drafting pencil or head straight to markup and CSS. What’s your go-to fake name? Regardless of your choice in tools, you’re probably going to end up with some placeholder data.

Sometimes I like to paint two paintings on the same piece of paper. Is it because I enjoy the jeopardy or am I frugal? You decide. Both of these illustrations are for a small series of Grimm's Fairytales that I am producing. 'The Cat and Mouse in Partnership' on the left, and 'The Raven' on the right.

Sigmund Lipinsky (1912) Some nude drawings are psychological documents; others are engineering diagrams. Some celebrate the triumph of the flesh while others mourn its mortality. Some drawings groan of manual labor while others float effortlessly. Lipinsky's mechanical reference marks contrast with his sensitive drawing to heighten the organic feel of the figure (including the abstract shape in the woman's hand) and block out the negative space in the larger composition.

I come here not to bury img , but to praise it. Well, mostly. Historically, I like img just fine. It’s refreshingly uncomplicated, on the surface: it fires off a request for the file in its src attribute, renders the contents of that file, and provides assistive technologies with an alternative narration. It does so quickly, efficiently, and seamlessly.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
