    Clients: Coca Cola, Fidelity, Google, Intel, McDonald’s, Ralph Lauren, and Time Warner. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Forbes, and Wall Street Journal. I've had the good fortune to create humor and illustrations for books published by Pearson, Penguin-Random House, Macmillan, Prentice Hall, Harvard Business Review Press, including several bestsellers. A small percentage of my work comes from Upwork, (the majority are repeat clients, and referrals from my agent.) For this reason, I am selective, and bid on projects for which I feel I can do excellent work. Part of UpWork's “Expert-Vetted” group, which is invitation-only to the top 1% of professionals. The best cartoons are more than just artwork. They depend upon funny concepts and writing. If you already have ideas for cartoons that you would like illustrated, I can give you publishing quality artwork to bring them to life. If you also need concepts and/or humor writing, I can help, (or assist by adding some verbal WD-40 to your existing ideas.) I am a published humor writer, and many of my clients hire me to create humor and concepts for advertising, publishing and presentations. I also have an experienced 2D animator and storyboard artist on my team. ———- ♾️ “Mark did an absolutely fantastic job illustrating my book. Better yet, he was a pleasure to work with--a model of professionalism and high standards." —Daniel Pink, New York Times Bestselling Author ♾️ "The cartoons Mark created for us to advertise our new technology have received a huge response." -- Randy Harrel, Vice President, Director of Marketing, CISCO SYSTEMS. ♾️ "Mark: I so appreciate your help through the process of creating cartoons for my book and its promotional tour. While I’ve been working other New Yorker cartoonists, I’ve relied most heavily on you. I think your capacity to capture an idea visually is akin to magic."   - Author, Gary Hamel. "Humanocracy", published by Harvard Business Review Press Recent highlights: Created a series of humorous cartoons for Google. Hired by Intel Corporation to design and create a series of animated commercials to introduce a new technology. Worked with Time Warner to design and create a cartoon spokesmen for their advertising. Illustrated a book and wrote humor for a soon-to-be published book by an bestselling author and former executive of DreamWorks. Humor writing and cartoons for an ongoing series of cartoons for Ralph Lauren Inc., for use in their advertising and social media. Created a series of cartoon advertisements for Bayer Pharmaceutical.

So how do you hire cartoonists? What follows are some tips for finding top cartoonists on Upwork.

How to shortlist cartoonist professionals

As you’re browsing available cartoon consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the freelancers you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a cartoonist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., importing cartoons into Adobe InDesign to add to the pages of a brochure).

How to write an effective cartooning job post

With a clear picture of your ideal cartoonist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective cartooning job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From editorial cartoons to textbook illustrations, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience working with certain industries, software, or media, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Why hire cartoonists?

The trick to finding top cartoonists is to identify your needs. Are you looking for someone with experience creating satirical cartoons for the editorial section of your local paper? Does a given cartoonist’s art direction match your brand’s aesthetic style? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a cartoonist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced cartoonist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their cartoonist services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
