    Well...

    I got my first commission for an illustration when I was 10. A nice, young couple (friends of my parents) asked for portraits of their sons. I think I received something like $50. I've done dozens of those since.

    With design, I got my first real client in college. The project was to create an automotive decal for $200.

    So - I'm 23 & I've been illustrating professionally for 13 years & designing for 4.
