Another way we cartoonists make money is by being paid to draw at high end events where a New Yorker cartoonist is just the thing.  I got a reputation for making people look good, so I hardly ever get to just draw cartoons at these events. People love having their portraits drawn, even by bad portrait artists, isn’t that funny? It’s a bit like having their palm read, irresistible, even if it’s obviously a scam. And it’s fun, anyway. How many artists get interesting people to sit for them for free, and even get paid to draw?  This is one of the portraits I was most proud of, from an event the other day. This guy was a dream to draw—great face, great style.
