| 16 Jun 2004 | Emília 'Millie' Eidelwein | Loading...Awwww...your work as cartunist is amazing, Ruth!And I think is a wonderful thing to work with children too! Ruth Emma Latchford replies: "Thankyou & yes, working with children can be great...unfortunately I've managed to catch a rather nasty bug from my kids which curbs my enthusiasm at present!" | |
| 4 Aug 2004 | Oliver Jöhnk | Loading...I agree with the others, you show some very good pictures. Your talent and creativity are obvious. I hope you will show much more of your work in the woods. Ruth Emma Latchford replies: "I plan to update just as soon as the mods come back from holiday " | |

| 1 Jan 2005 | Tunisia *Spooky SockGoblin* Dorionne | Loading...Um . . . I love your stuff. I do comic art too, though I'm trying to get my stuff into a comic book form (not just as kid's art). Your little characters are great; it's wonderful to see some kid's art that isn't all teddy bears and fluffy kittens. The little alien rocks! Er . . . both little aliens rock. I checked out your fanart, too. Love how you drew Hermione and Harry, and Sirius looks just like he's supposed to. The only advice I can give you is to try to create scenes with your characters, instead of just a character standing in the middle of a page. Maybe even comics. Ruth Emma Latchford replies: "I agree the majority of the work I submit don't have backgrounds the main reason for which is a combination of laziness & being able to transpose images onto any background I like. These pics are really characters being showcased rather than from anything that requires a background. I'll have to post up some things I've done for other projects! Thanks for popping by " | |
| 27 Apr 2005 | Jenny | Loading...Ruth, I like your art work it is unique and fun. I was wondering if you could give me some advise about how to start out as a freelance artist. I am interested in getting my drawings printed on t-shirts, mugs, bag etc. How much investment should i figure to get started and how do i find the right printing company. Any advise would be awesome, thanks and good luck with your own work. Ruth Emma Latchford replies: "Personally I think it's damned difficult...if you're looking to start small I'd suggest checking out www.cafepress.com who basically sell all sorts of printed items including t-shirts & the other things you mentioned, with your artwork on. You don't have to pay a thing & anything that does sell you get a commission on. I've not had the time to really push myself forward however, most of my commissions coming from personal contacts. However, if you want to sell your artwork on t-shirts (for instance) I'd recommend making a very short print-run & testing the market. For instance, seeing how they sell on eBay? The right printing company at first will simply be the cheapest, nearest & most convenient! I haven't actually sold any of my artwork by doing that...but that's because I have no motivation whatsoever. If you *do* have motivation then that'll hold you in good stead!Good luck!" | |
| 21 Sep 2005 | Thomas H. Saxon | Loading...The Alien Bandido is a character that needs development and continuation, its just such a cute & catchy image... I confess, I'm sorely tempted by plagiarism... Ruth Emma Latchford replies: "You'd better not! He'll zap you or something huge, huge compliment that though." | |
