Prepare Your Application
When you find a guest spot you're interested in, prepare a professional application. This should include your portfolio, a brief introduction, and your availability.
Portfolio Tips
Your portfolio is the most important part of your application. Showcase your best work and include a variety of styles to demonstrate your versatility.
For Shops: Posting a Guest Spot
Attract top talent to your shop by posting a guest spot opening. A well-crafted posting will help you find the right artist for your team.
Create a Detailed Posting
Include the dates of the guest spot, the styles you are looking for, and any other requirements. Be clear about what you are offering, such as a percentage of earnings or a fixed rate.
