THE PEREGRINE
Cover illustration for Poul Anderson
When I moved to NYC, I staked everything on a letter from Don Wollheim. I worked on paintings for my portfolio and took my first assignments from DAW. Not long after I began to work for Ace Books.
Because I was a published artist, I was able to ask for a higher fee. When I mentioned what Ace was paying me to DAW, they raised their fee to parity with Ace. Right away I saw how I would be paid more as I became an established artist.
My prices have pretty much raised themselves over the years, which is great, because no artist feels comfortable haggling over the pricing of their work.
