Any freelance graphic artists?
How much do you make on average per year? And what does your job consist of?

best place to probably ask is on http://www.deviantart.com lots of graphic artists on there.
2 :
Annual income averages are HARD to estimate for freelancers, because it depends on how many clients and projects are done. I have had great years with six digit income and many, many more where I didn't make 30 grand. Anyone thinking about going the full-time freelance route had better understand that it is as much a SALES job as it is a design career. I don't just sit around at my computor or drawing board while projects come my way, one right after another. I do twice annual marketing campaigns with postcards, mini portfolio mailings and a LOT of door to door cold calls. While I depend on a lot of repeat business and word of mouth referrals, the way to business growth is in bringing in NEW clients. My clients ask for everything from flyers for door to door distribution, newspaper ads and layouts, to magazine and comic book layouts, invitations, brochures, business cards, post cards, greeting cards, airbrush tee shirts, cartooning for special events, coloring books, educational curriculum layouts, photo editing, portraits, art lessons and anything else that comes my way, including technical writing, transcribing and, baby-sitting if I am really desparate.

What steps can I take to become an animal rescue cop or something? I want to be involved and help animals

What steps can I take to become an animal rescue cop or something? I want to be involved and help animals?
I graduated for something completely different- animation.. But I really love animals. I can do freelance for my other job, but I'd love to be an animal rescue person.. What steps should I take to do this? I want to help animals, and I think a rescue person would be great.. What does it entail?

The best way to figure this out would be to contact your local SPCA. I'm sure they would be grateful to have your help.
2 :
well,the best thing to do is volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue&find out if you really are cut out for it.You will need to do all the jobs at the shelter both dirty&grungy;&fun andheart-rending.Ask if you can job shadow w/your local rescue official,and/or canine police officers,as well as ask them as many questions as you can.And you can go online&find out the education requirements,and checkw/your local schools.I hope this works for you,and good luck!
3 :
watch the animal rescue shows on animal planet and go to their website...also, look for animal shelters in your area and see if you could help out!! you would be a great animal life saver!!

Hello-any computer artists here? Does anyone know a fast way to learn Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark

Hello-any computer artists here? Does anyone know a fast way to learn Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark?
I'm looking for a freelance art-related job and a lot of the jobs I'm looking at want people who know these programs. I don't own these programs. Does anyone know a fast way for me to learn these programs, even though I don't own them? They want me to show work samples. Please help me out. Thank you.

If you're new to all of the above I'd recommend enrolling in a desktop publishing course so you learn the basics and as an added benefit you will be able to use your course work as a starting point for your portfolio. You will need to buy the software, I'd recommend starting with the Design Standard bundle from Adobe which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat. InDesign does much the same job as Quark, ie both are page layout programs. You can add Quark later if you need to but the Adobe bundle will give you all the tools you need. Once you've learnt the basics and have the software you can experiment and continue to teach yourself with the help of online tutorials, help files and books

There's a lot of tutorials on YouTube, that's how most people I know learned. There's probably websights that teach you too.
2 :
If you do not own the software you cannot possibly learn them, no matter how many videos you watch. You can download the software for trial periods, but you will need to buy them in order to do any freelance work (and they cost a fair amount) you could buy secondhand copies from ebay but, as a freelancer, there is a good chance you will be sent files to work with/from, if you cannot open them you will be sunk. Even with intensive online learning, I would guess that you are looking at several months before you reach a good standard (several weeks before you are competent), you would also need to know about production processes to produce artwork that will satisfy printer and client.
