Support the list and your favorite artist
Jorgen's List is a free service. It always will be. I do not take commission on any of the jobs that are facilitated through my list, not even the full-time jobs. I'm not a rep and do not wish to be one.
But I couldn't run the list without the support of the artists themselves. That's actually what lead me to create the list in the first place; I couldn't do my job as an Art Director without the incredible storyboard artists, retouchers and photographers I met.
Making the list wasn't just about making it easier to find talent; it was also about appreciating it. To help guide other Art Directors through the muddy waters of freelance talent and help them find talent they will appreciate throughout their entire career.
Keep the list running
And now there's a way to appreciate those artists and help keep the list running too! As of today you can support the list by subscribing to it as a premium supporter. Premium supporters receive:
Four additional categories to display work in
Ability to feature a client list
Ability to add testimonials to client list
Editable background info and avatar
Ability to add your social networks to your profile
Alex Antoniou's background info as a premium supporter
Founder and premium supporter Leo Lingas testimonials and client list
Storyboard artist Tim Shinn displays his work in 5 categories
You can subscribe for just a week or up to a year! The money goes to paying for our servers and adding new features to the site. Because more is to come! There are still two additional features of the premium benefits that haven't been added:
Ability to upload more than four images to a category
Additional room to add contact information
Anyone that subscribes now for a month or more will receive all the current Premium Benefits for free until the final two benefits are in place. Several artists have done so already, but it's only been available to artists that asked. Now it's possible for anyone to support the list!
Still not pay-to-display
As before you cannot pay to be on Jorgen's List. You can only support the list through artists that have been recommended and approved for the list That is the quality guarantee that I hope to (with your help) continue to provide.
But you CAN support artists other than yourself once they are on the list! Enjoyed Stuart Godfrey's work last month on those crazy deadlines? Give him a months subscription! Or a years! You can leave him a note with your appreciation too! You can support any artist on any list, whether it be a storyboard artist, a creative retoucher or an award-hungry photographer. They'll appreciate it!
Support the list.
Very special shout out to Trevor Gustafson, Leo Lingas, Greg Banning and Ryan Keith Harris for supporting the list before it was even a line of code. Without their financial support (and the goodwill of programmer Moe Jame), the list would never have been a possibility! Thank you guys!
