Ive never seen true "talent" without experience in _any_ art form.

The word "talent" itself is overated. Ive seen great artwork

painted on a t-shirt and sold for a mere couple of bucks.  Ive also seen

somebody

wipe their ass on prepared canvas and sell it for hundreds of thousands.

Talent comes from experience. Companies look for talent from experienced

artists.

Mike, I believe the responses to your post derive from experience in the

professional

graphics field. Ive never seen a case where an art director needed his art

department's

graphic's "tweaked" by an outside source. Ive have however seen ad agencies

hire freelance artists when their client is looking for a particular style.


> I'll be showcasing my work as time passes on.


Please do, Im curious to see your work. With your prior posts, I thought

you might already have plenty to show. I saw your site for the small pub/eatery.

Nice simple design

and easy navigation, I would still like to see any "Flash" work you've done. If

Pepsico and the other

huge marketing giants you mention are interested in you, you must be good.


I think you can understand the reason for some of the responses you've gotten.

How many times have we seen, "Hire me, Im an experienced artist/web designer

that knows HTML,

Java, JS, Photoshop, Premier, 3DMAX, Dir, bla, bla, bla,....with absolutely NO

work to show for

it clogging up the job opportunity NGs?  -8>)


The web is a wonderful advertising tool for the people who can't afford high end

advertising campaigns,

but no matter how effectively they try to promote themselves, it will never

"make" them a professional in a particular field.

That only comes from _experience_.


This, of course, is my professional opinion.
