This is a great idea. How about making it an updated site with a static web address?

I illustrate comicbooks and am very good at it. I have work that I can show, but I don’t know how to get into this industry. I keep asking around, but I haven’t found a way in. It is a shame because I am very good at it. I know that I would have a huge fan base which is great for the comic agency who hires me, and it will allow me to do what I love to do and get paid doing it.
Any help that you can/will provide would greatly be appreciated. Thank You!
