Got this email recently:
Hi Mr. Anderson, i am a local photojournalist looking to take pictures of a Cartoonist doing his job for an educational career guide called Career Cruising. if possible, i’d welcome the opportunity to take photos of you at work for this great educational tool. please contact me at your convenience.
Neat, huh?
The photographer came over this afternoon and took a slew of pics of me inking, coloring, pretending to talk on the phone, and thinking of ideas. (Lemme tell you, that last one’s a stunner!)
She asked a lot of questions, and the experience, albeit a little embarrassing, was interesting. The photographer was very complimentary about my work, and really sweet around the kids.
I was told a few times, very earnestly, that I have the coolest job in the world. And I gotta say, it’d be difficult to disagree.
Anyway, at the end I took a pic of her taking a pic of me just for fun.
We traded looks at each other’s digital pics and said good day.
Word is my pics will be up on their site within a few months. I’ll letcha know…
