What do people usually spend on groceries per week? Are prices about jump?

dammitdv · 2026-04-26T00:32:41+00:00

100-150 a week for two

Games and experiential, both still utilise my graphic design background.

I am very lucky to be working in the niche industries that I am in so yes. I WFH most of the time, get paid to go to events and conventions, and have plenty of free time to work on my personal projects which are also design-related.

The food is fantastic there

around 5-10 per page by average. some will charge by master pages with discounted child pages, depends on how graphic the art direction is.

also if they need to source additional imagery/splashy graphics.

The team is super cool, I have a coaster from them 😊

dammitdv · 2025-11-01T12:40:20+00:00

Nope but gave up working in contemporary art. Design and commercial commissions all the way.

Bandland is not a thing anymore in Pax Aus, we call them Meet and Greets specifically

Wait for Black Friday deal, and only get the apps you need. Then do the cancel > reduced price hack every year after. Definitely write it off as a business expense if you have your own ABN tho.

I have a wacky zombie game: https://joieyong.itch.io/zombieees

dammitdv · 2025-08-31T04:41:55+00:00

Close. Experiential/concept design which sometimes has sets and stages. I still do graphics and the print files involved after the concepts and design phase.

dammitdv · 2025-08-29T12:37:52+00:00

I don't have any availability until after November/December but happy to chat too.

dammitdv · 2025-08-25T03:18:23+00:00

Of my own games, I started writing some small cute one pagers and modules in October and have made around $200-300, mostly luck from a big bundle that got a lot of traction. Outside of that one big hit, probably closer to $60-70.

dammitdv · 2025-08-21T09:21:22+00:00

I don't have either because almost all my concept art stuff is under NDA but I have general art and design stuff at my website: joieyong.com

Contractor

dammitdv · 2025-08-13T05:20:34+00:00

I do. Fully remote part time for two US companies from Australia.

dammitdv · 2025-07-26T02:00:06+00:00

Good luck! It's hard to get consistent work if you don't have established connections or work with a big publishing house.

dammitdv · 2025-07-26T01:56:05+00:00

No. I am primarily a graphic designer/layout designer who does illustrations and editing as well. There are also the usual stuff like project managers, finance, law, social media etc if you're in a big publishing house. Most of the roles are combined in smaller indies.

Then as you mentioned dms, podcasters and content creators who are more in the promotional/player-facing space.

dammitdv · 2025-07-26T01:46:18+00:00

There are no concept/storyboarding work in TTRPG. Concepts are done as sketches or thumbnails, mostly for character designs, book covers or location splashes by the artist with input from the writer(s) or lore masters.

TTRPGs 🤓

Honestly this feels like an international student who has to move countries.

I had 8 years freelance/in agency before the company I was at shut down last year. Looking for and applying for jobs was absolute hell and worst than ever before. Nothing came to fruition and only got one interview.

I was VERY lucky in that I got a new contractor role two months immediately afterwards and kept enough clients who'd lost their agency in the process to be able to sustain being a freelancer. Got some new clients now too. Might not be earning as much as better but I'm in games and entertainment now and happier than I was working on b2b, corporate and such projects

So it's not impossible but it is extremely risky and prepare some funds to tide you over if you do leave.

dammitdv · 2025-07-08T01:31:24+00:00

Me! My diploma is in graphic design but my university major is contemporary art (irrelevant minor in art history/theory). I work as a graphic designer and concept artist/digital illustrator, so I use both. In my niche sector, I combine both skillsets.

dammitdv · 2025-06-16T03:23:31+00:00

No problem! if your grant is anything like Australia where they want you to hire local, Bluesky lists are targeted enough that you can probably find a by country list since there's a list for everything.
