    Hey Frank,

    Thanks for doing this.

    Any advice for someone who want to do transition into more freelance work?

    Also I host a podcast call How to Hold a Pencil, I'd love to have you on as a guest.

      Hey Reuben—I'd say the most important thing in starting a freelance career is broadcasting your availability. You don't need to buy ads or anything, just launch a portfolio and send a quick email to your friends saying "Hey, I'm doing this now, so if you hear about something interesting and you'd think I'd be a good fit, I'd love to hear about it."

      And, I will pass on the podcast. Those things are like torture to me! Ha! Sorry man—I think you've asked me before, and this is the second time I've said no. :(
