I’ve been blessed to meet truly wonderful people, sometimes in the unlikeliest of circumstances, and occasionally in other “creative” environments. The people on this list are not only excellent freelancers/independent artists in their respective trades, but they’re also excellent people.
Whether for bookings, commissions, or other sorts of inquiries, I’m sure if you drop a line1 to anyone on this list, they’ll respond to the best of their ability.
