STUDIO BRIEF 2 - PART 4 - LinkedIn - who could I be connecting with?

I'm trying to think outside of the box and connect with people that aren't illustrators because I don't feel that would help me when trying to get a job - other illustrators are my competitors at the end of the day. I am trying to think of companies or lines of work that my work could fit into (commercial). I am targeting the directors, the owners, the design teams.

I also figured that if I am looking at illustrators then I need to be targeting the connections that they have and the people they possibly work for. I have looked at Mr.Bingo's connections (having over 500+) he is great at contacting people for work. Plus our style of work is quite similar so if I am struggling to imagine where my work can be seen and used then I need to be looking at the type of people he uses. So I have done, and connected with some of those!

I have an illustrated drawing of myself as my display picture and a humorous illustrated cover photo just to give an idea of my style of drawing so hopefully they can see that and be drawn to it and notice my strengths in digital painting. They then may wish to contact me, but until then I am going to message them all and just tell them to bare me in mind.
