Why on earth can't Proximity afford an illustrator?

Last time I got to make them hire a graduating student from a good art school!
Saved them money and saved me some embarrassment...

I absolutely love the rare chance to do some illustration. Granted, if someone asked me to break out the oils and get all Constable upside their subject, then I'd be at a complete loss; and, I'm no Josh Davis, or even an Alex Trochut—but if they need precise, conceptually or typographically-driven line drawings/diagrams etc., then yes, please.
I can draw you some happy little trees if I set my mind to it, I even used to paint (abstract mostly), but it just doesn't interest me these days.
- agreed gramme but this is an extremely complex information diagram based on an existing 3D render...that they now want done in Illustrator at a different perspective from the original. For the amount of coin spent having me redesign this p.o.s., they could hire a talented illustrator!kello

Or maps. I love maps of all sorts, and enjoy drawing them, either by hand or in Illy.

If you're serious about getting help, I can put you in touch with an illustrator who specializes in diagrams, technical illustrations and the like. She works hella fast and she's affordable by most standards.
If I had nothing to do, I'd help you out but alas, these turds won't pull themselves out of the pool :)

I had that happen. The agency I worked for wanted me to rip off a harley davidson illustration. I was like that is illustrated. So?

curious, why is it okay for you to say "f*cking", but not "fucking"?
this is something i never understood, sort of a peeve of mine. (I don't mean you personally), but if you're going to censor something, then censor it. if not, then just fucking say it.
like you're a more decent person because you left out the "u" in "fuck". what the hell.

I have a similar problem, but instead of "illustrator" replace with "programmer".
Now here is my thought:
I'm not a programmer, I can't do that shit, I don't like to look at code, I'm a visual guy, I need shapes, colors, Type, etcWell the truth is, we are all (that's right) WE ARE ALL replaceable.
If you don't do it, tell me one reason why your client won't go to someone else that has a similar (or better) talent and he is great doing illustration (or in my case, coding).There is always someone out there, and the more years go buy the more talented the competition gets (and younger). We've all seen that kid's (probably from eastern europe) school portfolio, his work is outstanding..
FEAR HIM.
HE IS COMING TO GET YOUR JOB.
And since he is young, he probably put more effort than you on the job.So.. start learning
