You could definately be a cover artist, no problem. The best way to get the job you need is actually a simple process. And for an artist of your calibur, it's even easier. Basically, get together a portfolio of your best work (the larger and more varied the better), and send it to a company. If they like it, they'll contact you and say "we have an opening as an intern" and from there you basically work your way up. Depending on if there's any artistic openings and they're actually looking for someone, though, they may even take you off the spot. Though, again, I only say that because your art is amazing.

I've looked at alot of the work from the artists of AP having worked there for about four months, and I can tell you, you're better than half of their staff artists, let alone all the submissions they get. And trust me, they get TONS. If you submit to a company, depending on how large they are, it will take longer. It could take a while. Another thing to remember: they get STACKS AND STACKS of these things every day. If you want your work to shine, you gotta make them know that you have the stuff. Do fanart, draw their characters, draw your own (MAKE SURE YOU PUT A COPYRIGHT ON THEM...i've seen several characters stolen from my friends who submit to companies which shall REMAIN NAMELESS *coughmarvelcough*...) Show them samples of your art by hand, by tablet, everything.

Maybe I'm being a little presumptuous about this as I really didn't work there long enough to become an artist (i was working there to help out someone who was special to me at the time), and maybe my opinions are a little wrong. Remember, these ARE just opinions. But your art is kick ass, I won't lie about that.

As for an artist table, i'm sure you could get one on your own, no problem. Just make sure to dress up the table and show your stuff, so you can get some fans

If you happen to, let me know. I'd love to go see some of your pieces in person! ^^

If you wanna IM me, feel free. I love discussing this kind of stuff

Oh ya! One thing I neglected to mention that's important to your situation. MANY artists work from home (in the time I worked at AP, I didn't see Fred once :-P ) He used to work out of FL, and, well, seeing that AP is based in my home here in San Antonio, you can imagine he never showed up to the office :-P

The thing is, artists can mail in their submissions to an office for the most part. I suppose maybe that depends on who you work for, but for the most part, if you're good, I THINK most companies will be willing to negotiate about this kind of thing

Awesome. I'll add you to list as soon as I get my AIM up and running XD;; *Hasn't been on it in a LONG time*

Life suxs, get over it or run right into it and blame it for getting in your way

Very cool! I love the effects you can get out of those primacolors - I speak from experience when I say that's no easy feat at times. Now get something else up for us to drool over, damn it!!!

My... Beautifully contrasting colors... People must fullview this! @.@ Makes me wanna draw >__<
