How long have you been drawing cartoons?
Though I use concepts from cartooning, I am not really a cartoonist. I am a Graphic Facilitator (GF). A GF uses graphics as a communication device to turn dialog and conversation that takes place in a group setting, usually to capture some important decision, strategy, or concept. I have been doing this as part of my job since 1996 when I worked in a large consulting firm as part of a service we delivered to clients.
What made you start to think more seriously about making some money out of it?
I actually started doing this independently when the job market fell apart in 2001 and I was out of a job. I am also a consultant and meeting facilitator, but this has differentiated me the most as few people do this, especially in my region. MORE>>
