Money is always something that people don’t like to talk about. Especially freelance artists. But I think that in this new world where all the rules of how people earn a living have been thrown out the window, a little data can be very helpful. So because it may help a fellow independent artist, or someone who wants to make a living on the internet, I’ve done a little math homework, and am presenting my income from the last 5 years as a full-time artist, and typed up a breakdown of what I did right or wrong each year, and what I learned from it.
The raw numbers:
This is my net income, after PayPal fees and hiring other artists and such.
2007 (Aug-Dec): $5761 2008: $18,628 2009: $7188 2010: $11,957 2011: $20,183

It’s time! The new season of Expeditions begins now!
A couple of months ago, I crowdsourced a list of missions on the internet. Then I traveled from the Panama Canal to Lake Titicaca solving them! I partied with blue-footed boobies, skinny-dipped with piranhas, walked through a coca war, and got into more trouble than I can list!
Tune in every Monday for a new episode!
My previous seasons have appeared on CNN, the American Film Institute and on Rocketboom, but this season can be seen easily right here on Tumblr!
If you’d like to watch the previous seasons, each edited conveniently into full length adventure: Expeditions: Africa, North India, and South India are all available to watch or download free at http://www.ryanestrada.com |

| Welton Colbert Returns from the dead! |
[Jul. 24th, 2011|07:19 am] |
Years ago, I did a regular comic about a crotchety old former cartoonist named Welton Colbert who reviewed comics. I haven’t used him in a while, but people are trying to talk me into bringing him back.
To aid in his return, artist Ronnie Tucker and writer Maxwell Patterson of somnambulations.com made this guest comic about the reason for Welton’s long absence, and his return!

| Expeditions: South India |
[Jul. 18th, 2011|08:32 am] |
Here’s this week’s mega Expeditions re-edit! Expeditions: South India! This is the season where I stayed at Gandhi’s house, spent the weekend at a leper colony, offered my hair to the gods, and became a Kathakali dancer!
Remember that I’m still accepting missions for the new season in South America! |

| Expeditions: North India! |
[Jul. 12th, 2011|08:40 am] |
It’s time for another Mega-episode of Expeditions, my show where I travel the world solving missions suggested by viewers. This time, I road trip across North India stopping in a rat temple, hang out at the Dalai Lama’s house, and get lost in the Himalayas.
I head to South America next month to film the new season and I NEED MISSIONS! Imagine you had the chance to order Indiana Jones around, except he was a fat cartoonist with no money or resources. What would you ask him to do? Sure, specific ones will work, like ‘swim in Lake Titicaca’ but the best ones are open ended and create opportunities anywhere, like ‘crash a wedding’, ‘lasso a calf’, ‘ride a bull’, ‘find hidden treasure’, ‘meet a ghost’, or any of the crazy missions in this video. I’ll pick the best, and solve them on future episodes of the show!
Leave ‘em in the comments or email me… ryan at ryanestrada dot com. I already got missions from Wil Wheaton and Pendleton Ward! Algebraic! |
