Okay, let’s break it down. Damien is a freelance illustrator with a BFA degree from the School of Visual Arts. His experience as a freelance illustrator for Lithium Magazine suggests he has some clients, but not a full-time job. Location is Seoul, South Korea, which is a city with a high cost of living. Considering his education and experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $45, which is a rough estimate of what a junior illustrator might charge in a city like Seoul. This rate is also in line with what I would expect for a freelance illustrator with a BFA degree, who may not have extensive experience but has a solid education in illustration.
