In March of 2017 I gave a presentation on Working With Artists at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment in Oakland, for the Bay Area Tabletop Developers group.
I have worked with over 15 freelance artists on various projects including logos, graphic design, comic books, video games and board games. I am very appreciative for the opportunity to share my experiences and advice.

It was a great experience, a lot of fun, and it received some wonderful feedback. You can see the whole talk here, split into four topics...
Project: Best practices for how and when to incorporate an artist into a project.
Language: Some useful terminology and how language can impact a project.
Direction: Your role and responsibility as an art director.
Relationship: General reminders and tips for a good working relationship.
