I’ve worked at Nickelodeon Magazine for the past nine years. During that time, I’ve done several alumni panels and given talks to classes at the School of Visual Arts and done lots of portfolio reviews. The following is a compilation of things I usually end up talking about in regards to finding work in the comics and illustration fields. Hopefully some of it will come across as helpful!
