As someone who spent the first part of her career as an illustrator, paying the rent with the pictures she made, and the second part of her career representing professional artists, no-one knows better than Lilla how awesome, but also at times how difficult, a professional art career can be.
In today’s short video Lilla shares why she loves this career choice, what is tough about it, and how to keep the motivation up for the longterm.

Lilla would love to hear what you thought – why not join her on Periscope on Tuesdays to chat?
We hope this inspires you to stick with it!
Always so helpful and affirming, Lilla! Listening to your advice and guidance continually touches my heart and reminds me why I love being an illustrator! Blessings to you!
You’ve touched on all the key points in a short time very beautifully. Thank you Lilla :) I especially love the flexibility that working for yourself entails. I took a walk to my local book shop for ‘market research’ today just for the heck of it. Could never have done that in my old cubicle life!
I could listen to you all they. Would love a Lilla Rogers MP3 pod cast. Would play it over and over again. ☺
Lilla you always inspire me in ways I can’t even express! Your videos are like beacons of light that tell me what I’m doing is OK and reinforce my belief that it’s ok to want to live life on your own terms! So thank you! Lots of love!
Thanks Lilla, that was super helpful!
I wish I could have coffee with you and brainstorm and get reinvigorated. I find that to be the hardest part of freelance sometimes. Love your site and artists. Thank you.
Great advices! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for such insightful feedback. I have so much to evaluate & this information will certainly be a factor !
Thank you for reminders of why I do this. Very helpful this morning! <3
Many validations in this video which confirm my own thoughts about freelance-hood! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Thanks Lilla, really inspiring.
Wonderful advice for me, an illustrator on a “down” day. :)
