As you can guess from the title, we’re going to be talking about agents today.
An agent works on behalf of an illustrator, representing them and their work. I've had an agent for 5 years now, and I've had both good and bad experiences with them. Since I see so many people asking about agents, I decided to make this video to clear up any misconceptions and give some advice.

In this video I’m going to talk about the basics of representation.
Things like:
What is an Agent.
What types of agents are there?
What do agents do. (And what can’t they do)
The pros and cons of having an agent.
What red flags to look out for

In my next video I'll be talking about how to get an agent. Stay tuned for that!
