Do you have a question about working as an illustrator but you aren't sure who to ask?

We're here to help!

 

Ask Me Anything with Handsome Frank

Date: Thursday 27th March
Time: 1:00 - 2:30 pm GMT

Location: Online

At Agents for Change, we offer support to artists from typically under-represented backgrounds.

We've teamed up with Handsome Frank - a leading UK-based illustration agency with a global roster of artists - for the next round of Ask Me Anything. You can apply to have a 20-minute one-on-one call with one of their artists to discuss your career in illustration.

You'll be able to chat to a professional illustrator - and ask them anything! Handsome Frank's artists are ready to lift the lid on what it's like to work as a freelance illustrator and share everything they know about the industry.

This is an opportunity to pick the brains of professional artists so it’s slightly different from a standard portfolio review with critiques. You'll be able to gain insight into the industry and discuss your creative future. Come prepared with some questions and ready to chat.

All of our events are designed to help you reach your creative potential. Online sessions will be relaxed and informal.

Application Deadline

If you are interested in taking part, simply fill out the form at the bottom of this page by 5 pm on Monday the 24th of March 2025.

Spaces are allocated at random so don't be disheartened if you don't get a spot. We host regular online events so please do apply again next time.

The Artists

Ask Me Anything will be hosted by Zoë Barker, Matt Murphy, Tim McDonagh, Molly McCammon and Hattie Clark - all artists represented by Handsome Frank.
