    It's a simple formula but takes the amount of work that most people can not handle.

    - develop a friendly style that you love and is easy on the eyes. a good sense of color helps.
    - make new work every day, don't go out and party, just keep making new work for a few years. your style might look like other's but it will become your own over time.
    - post it all online
    - move to new york city to inevitably meet lots of people working in big creative fields.
    - tell everyone you meet about what you do.
    - be a nice person who is easy to work with.
    - set up a meetings with an illustration rep who has big name clients.
    - all the while keep making new work and updating your site.

    you will probably get a shot at a nike type of client in a few years.
