One of my favorite people to work with is my cousin Becki. She's a rad graphic designer, photographer, and screen printer. The only thing she can't do is draw (her words, not mine!). Luckily for her, the only thing I can do is draw (that's a lie, I'm awesome at everything). Thus, we have formed this great symbiotic relationship where she gets me to do line art for the stuff she can't draw, and I get money and exposure. Recently, she needed a bunch of people drawn (including herself, she's the one laying down). Here's what we came up with!

Here's what she did with my drawings:
It's great for her, because she can offer another service to her clients, and it's great for me because I love getting paid to draw! I also love how little comittment it takes. It's different than illustrating books, because it doesn't require me to devote 1/4 to 1/3 of a year to one project. It's finished in a matter of hours or days, which allows me to work on my home business while still illustrating here and there. So, if any graphic designers out there are looking to engage in some symbiosis, I'm always here! You can be the shark and I'll be that shitty little fish that eats the crap off your teeth...
