Help me Raise money to become a freelance illustrator/designer

<p>I am katie aka purplezest i graduated university last year from animation design with a 2.1 BaHons,&nbsp;&nbsp;I spent this current year trying to get into the industry I so passionately want to be a part of but I keep getting the same message of we don't care that you went to uni although your work is exactly what we are looking for but what experience do you have? Which is my case is none because in this current climate no one wants to give it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This really got me thinking if working for a company is really for me because i always have a nagging feeling i would do so much better working for myself which is probably because both my parents are self employed though in completely different fields then the one i wish to pursue.</p> <p>Thankfully after much determination and purciverance i managed to meet with an industry professional who now works as a free lance artist&nbsp;and he gave me some hints and advice and said my idea of free lance and having my own personal studio is really the way to go! so i took on a part time job which help funds the paintings and the design work i do at the moment to build up my portfolio more. I will make my dream come true though i really don't think it hurts to ask for some help and guidance along the way.</p> <p>In the end i hope to have my own studio/shop which i can work and sell my work in and also use it as a platform for other struggling designers just out of college/university who also need that helping hand either with just advice or some funding just to give them that much needed kick start!&nbsp;</p> <p>I just need some help to make this a reality&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
