The cartoonists tip: Keep calm and carry on...
Royston Robertson the reasonably famouse cartoonist from Kent recently shared his view of the credit crunch which harks back to the British way of doing things in the last world war. Keep calm and keep going.
But, as a cartoonist friend said to me recently, "Your whole life's a credit crunch when you're a cartoonist!" Like many self-employed people, cartoonists do find it tough-going sometimes, recession or no recession. You may not be selling enough gags, maybe not getting enough commissioned work ... it can get tough.
All you can do is keep calm and carry on, as the poster says, and hope that something turns up. It usually does. So in that spirit, I created my own version of that poster for all you cartoonists out there.
