I recommend setting something up with wordpress or even tumblr (there are some pretty good free layout themes for both that could serve as a decent portfolio site). Even setting up a flickr account would be okay if you’re really looking to put as little effort into your portfolio as possible. But really, if you’re serious about your own work and are serious about wanting to find real paying work as an illustrator or cartoonist then you should put some effort and maybe even a little money into presenting your work in a professional manner. If you aren’t taking yourself seriously enough to set up a decent looking website, art directors probably aren’t going to take you seriously either.
I noticed a few people commented on that DeviantArt thing I reblogged and said that I was being a jerk or that DeviantArt is totally great. But I stand by that advice! I don’t take it back! My opinion is that DeviantArt is seriously a terrifying, difficult to navigate mess. I know a lot of art directors would agree with me. But that’s just my opinion as a person who has spent a few years now as a professional illustrator/cartoonist. I’m not trying to ruffle anyone’s feathers, I’m just passing along what I consider to be good advice.
I’m sure there are some incredible artists on DeviantArt and there are certainly some art directors out there who are willing to spend time looking at stuff on that site. But if DeviantArt is the only place your portfolio can be found on the internet, you’re absolutely cutting yourself off from being seen by a huge number of people like myself who simply can’t be bothered to deal with such a mess of a website. And why would you do that to yourself?
Advice for young cartoonists
baby cartoonists, when i’m following a link back to see your work, it shouldn’t be a facebook or deviant art page. #actualprotip
— tom fowler (@tomfowlerbug) April 20, 2012I have given this exact same advice dozens of times. It goes for both cartoonists and illustrators. If I notice that the link to your website has a deviant art url, there’s a 98% chance I’m not even gonna click on it.

I made this because of the recent news coming out about NBC’s Fall lineup.
It was hastily made in Photoshop, but I think I get my point across (I also think I speak for many who feel the same way I feel!)
Share this! Pass this wherever you want. It’s about the message.
UPDATE- Whitney is renewed…. not even a joke. It actually got renewed.
AND… Parks and Rec is apparently renewed for a “full-season” (so 22 episodes, not 13) according to Jim O’Heir (Jerry) over Twitter. If he’s wrong then he pulled a Jerry, but most likely he’s correct. Also TV Guide is reporting this as well!
This is definitely the darkest timeline.
Never watched community
But Parks and Rec is one of my favorites
And 30 Rock has amazing writing
Also another unappreciated show is FRINGE
FOR GODS SAKE PEOPLE WATCH FRINGE.
Community is hilarious. I don’t understand why more people don’t watch it.

When a subject poses to have his or her photograph taken, the subject tries to project a message about himself or herself by how he or she “poses”, by the attitude of his or her body language or facial expression.

There is a strange superficiality
to the semantics of our speech;
Hidden by eloquent loquacity
We shape the solitude of our souls.
When we translate thought to enactment
we concede consequence to our contrivance.
The perpetration of perceivement
In a synoptic social significance.
