Client: “Hi. I’m looking for an artist who can illustrate a couple of children’s books for me. I saw your work in the online graduate gallery and really liked it! I already have the characters created and everything, so it shouldn’t be much work.” https://t.co/pcIyFtZLHh

All of last year, I was the editor for a content marketing blog, managing a team of freelance writers. My work was done completely remotely, so when I wanted to ask for a raise at the beginning of this year, I emailed the company owner. https://t.co/71kvIFOd9h

My company produced a high-end brand video for a client. They loved it, and it helped get them at least one client worth over a million dollars — and that’s just the one we know about. https://t.co/LbyMmvHLuo

I’ve been working on this project for four and a half months, and I have nothing completed to show. I’ve sent her proofs of pages and asked for content… and gotten nothing. I’ve gone a whole month without getting a single response from her. https://t.co/8YKJp6CVFM

I was doing a photoshoot for a client who attended the filming. Part of the set dressing was a bowl of fruit with oranges, bananas, grapes, and peaches that looked like a still life painting to evoke a full kitchen. https://t.co/6Q5zFJgoWr

I was designing some vinyl decals for a client’s van. He phoned four times in four hours to make sure the decals would be “big enough”. Finally, I sent him some mockups so that he could decide for himself. https://t.co/xQsiZFYmBN
