It probably depends where you live. I know a few people who work in that field here and it's not the most lucrative or stable gig for them. I guess if you worked for a major publisher in NYC it could pay well, but then there are thousands of potential candidates you'd be competing with. A big city like Chicago may have a lot of publishers too - I don't know. Contract work-from-home from major clients is often like a ghost - many people talk about them but very few have seen them. It really helps to live where the clients are, in my experience - but I've been out of the game for a while..

There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness.

A Domain Name registration company in China is registering the names illustrations.cn and illustrations.asia.
They are checking to make sure there is no infringement with my illustrations.com... ie, that I do not have a market in China or Asia.
I don't... and I don't plan to. Although I actually have worked with a client in China, but I don't feel like I really have a "market" there.
Is there any reason to try to block this or claim infringement?
It makes the domain name less valuable. But I don't think I can block someone in Asia from using the name "illustrations."
Other thoughts?
