Internships, Employment & Mentoring
Internships
Nope. In addition to largely being scams whereby employers exploit enthusiasm in exchange for very little actual ‘work experience’ (especially, you know, the being paid bit), internships particularly disenfranchise folks who are without the benefit of wealthy support networks. So we don’t do internships.
Work Experience
Ditto, but with the grisly bonus of screwing over children.
Employment Opportunities / Freelancers
I do occasionally come across jobs for which I have a great idea but not the technical or artistic aptitude to create it. This particularly applies to work involving illustration, or 3d modelling. If you think you might like the occasional opportunity to work with me, then please send me through your contact details and a link to your folio and some details about your skills and your desired pay rate, and I will get in touch with you should I require your particular flavour of talent. You have nothing to lose! And very little to gain quite honestly, but emphatically nothing to lose. As per the Ethical Design Manifesto I firmly believe that only a wonderfully diverse group of people creating selfishly can create wonderful, diverse work, and as such I would be delighted to receive folios from anyone, but I would like to strongly encourage people who aren’t straight white men, as that demographic is pretty well covered already by me.
Mentoring
If I can help, I will. Send me your questions and when I get a minute I’ll answer them. Again, I’d like to particularly encourage those of you who aren’t white guys to pipe up (which, let’s be clear, is not the same as discouraging white guys who would like to pipe up from doing so).
