Art Beyond the Arches: From McDonald's to a varied diet of design & illustration for freelancer Dan Bailey
Dan is an experienced designer and illustrator. He went freelance twice. First for creative freedom. Secondly to free him up for his family. Starting out as a designer for McDonald's, he wanted a more varied diet of projects. With a lot of time freelancing in agencies, Dan learnt to stand out, be indispensable and build relationships to expand his chance of finding work. He also flexed himself creatively with illustration side projects (after college tutors said he’d never make a living from drawing!) Adding a unique flair to his freelancer personal brand as 'Rubber Penguin’. He says there’s too many Dan Baileys. But here’s one you won’t forget.
