If you're a freelance illustrator, an agent who reps illus or illus/authors, or someone who hires illus, pls answer survey? Thx!

Survey for illustrators

Researching for my #SCBWI wkshop at #scbwiNY25 + will share aggregate results publicly.
A cartoon-style illustration of a person with curly hair working on a laptop, imagining an artist holding a paintbrush and pencil. The text reads: "Are you an agent who represents illustrators or writer-illustrators? Please answer my short, multiple choice anonymous survey about how you find illustrators. Aggregate results will be shared publicly to help illustrators looking for work." A handwritten "thank you!" is included with a heart, along with a QR code and a URL for the survey. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Cartoon illustration of a woman holding cash and a paper, imagining an artist with paintbrushes. Text reads, 'Have you ever hired a freelance illustrator? (human, no AI).' The post invites users to take a short anonymous survey to help illustrators find work, with a QR code and link to DebbieOhi.com. An illustrated promotional image for a survey targeting freelance illustrators. At the top is a cartoon-style drawing of a person with curly black hair, holding a brush and a pencil against a yellow background. Below, bold text reads: "Are you a freelance illustrator who has been paid for your work?" The text is underlined in purple. Smaller text explains: "Please answer my 7-question (multiple choice) survey? You can opt to stay anonymous. Aggregate results will be shared, to help fellow illustrators." A QR code and URL (illustrator-promo.paperform.co/) are included at the bottom right, with handwritten purple text reading "Thank you!" and a small purple heart nearby.
