After you've brilliantly mocked the latest politician, advertisement, or TV show, stick the art in your portfolio. Online posts are collections of your work, but you should keep your best art on hand. Back up any work that's done on the computer and save hand-drawn originals. Potential employers will demand your portfolio and use it to determine your qualifications. Luckily, you don't need to pass out your work in the street when the Internet provides instant exposure. Start up your own page at a site like WordPress or Tumblr. You can even create your own professional website. Spread your work over social media sites like Twitter and art communities such as DeviantArt. Never be afraid to share your art or links to your art. Exposure is how you build a following, which helps you become more of a cartoonist. Cartoon competitions are out there, but they're tricky to find. Some publications, such as the New York Times, offer these competitions, which help cement your reputation. Other times, governments or organizations run contests for political or artistic causes. Search online for these contests and keep your ears open to suggestions from your audience and friends. Some cartoonists, such as Andre Pijet, got their start from competitions at festivals. You may be able to find regional or national festivals, but pay attention to international festivals too. Many satirists get their start by sending their work to publications such as Mad Magazine, The New Yorker, or The Onion. Competition is tough, so also look for alternative magazines, newspapers, or online publications. Every publication has its own criteria for humor, so research them to see if your work would be a good fit. Find submission details in the publications or on their websites. Usually you can submit the art online or through the mail. Expect a lot of competition. It's easier than ever for people to make and submit funny drawings. Working freelance means you don't have a permanent job with any company. You'll need to work hard to turn out drawings and submit them to various publications. For new cartoonists, getting hired is a tall task. Your best bet for making some money and gaining a reputation is to spread your work around as much as possible. Even renowned satirists take commissions. You may even be asked to draw non-satirical cartoons. It's not your goal, but it furthers your career. Ditching your day job is risky because official positions as satire cartoonists are uncommon. Satirists such as Al Jaffee at Mad Magazine tend to hold onto jobs for a long time. Position yourself the best you can for these jobs but don't sacrifice your ability to make a living. For example, work at a full-time job during the day and work on your cartoons at night. Try getting a job doing graphic design or animation. Comedy writing is another job that allows you to practice your satire. Stay flexible. You'll never have as much time as you'd like to work on your art, and artistic jobs are typically temporary commissions.

Q: Apply a small amount of shampoo to your fingertips and massage it into your scalp from your hairline. Purposefully avoid the length of your hair. When you rinse your shampoo out, it will cleanse the length of your hair without overdrying it. While washing your hair in hot water can be relaxing, it also removes too much of the oil from your hair and allows moisture to escape the hair shaft. This can result in frizzy, dry, brittle hair. Stick with cold water so that your hair stays as hydrated and moisturized as possible. If you don't like the idea of washing your hair in cold water, washing it in lukewarm instead of hot water should decrease dryness some. When you're shopping for shampoos and conditioners, go for products that say "moisturizing" or "replenishing," and that help with dry or damaged hair. More specifically, look for oil-based products that are free of alcohols and sulfates and also have low pHs. While you should stay away from most alcohols, "fatty" alcohols are the exception. Products that contain cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, or stearyl alcohol shouldn't significantly dry out your hair. Stay away from heavily fragranced hair products, as they can contribute to dryness. Leave-in conditioners contain humectants, which help to draw moisture to your hair. After you wash and condition your hair, gently wring out excess moisture with your hands. Squirt a dime-size dollop of leave-in conditioner into your hand. Apply it to the length of your hair while it's still wet and avoid applying it to your root area. There are many different kinds of hair masks that you can purchase and use, but those that focus on hydration and rejuvenation are likely the most beneficial for dry hair. Once a week just after you've shampooed your hair, put your hair into a ponytail and apply the mask only to the ponytail. Then, twist it into a bun and cover your head with a shower cap. Leave the shower cap on for 15 minutes and then rinse your hair. Some beneficial ingredients to look for when you're choosing a mask include: Argan oil Truffle extract White caviar extract Artichoke leaf extract Jasmine flower extract Lychee extract Edelweiss flower extract Meadowfoam seed
A: Wash just your roots. Wash your hair in cold water. Opt for shampoos and conditioners that are made for dry hair. Apply a leave-in conditioner after you shower. Do a weekly hair mask to keep your hair hydrated.

Article: You can use heavy make-up for this outfit, covering your entire face with thick coats of gray and green greasepaint. Apply large black circles around your eyes, insert yellow fright-contact lenses, and stage blood to your mouth. Keep in mind that Medusa should be as beautiful as she is horrifying. Apply make-up so that it looks freaky, scary, and very morbid. Use green foundation, As one who lived in relative darkness, Medusa would not have had bronze skin or rosy cheeks. Instead, she would have been fairly pale, with cracked skin that is peeling from her face. Draw attention to your eyes by applying more heavy black eyeliner and black mascara. You can use dark eyeshadow to make your eyes look gaunt, or you could use a bolder metallic shade of green or purple for something a little more subdued and crazy. Use either black lipstick or red lipstick. Go for black lipstick if you want something spooky. To emphasize the more alluring aspect of Medusa, use bright red or deep red lipstick. Apply tooth black out to make your teeth look authentic and decayed. Use facial paint to draw small scales around the top of your forehead, the edges of your face, and along the sides of your hands and feet. You could also use black or green eyeliner to draw the scales, or for 3D effect, cut scales from colored construction paper, and apply with water and flour mixture, or cellophane tape. Note that this is strictly optional. Even without the use of scales, you should still clearly resemble Medusa. You could wear a large rubber snake around your shoulders or waist, or weave a smaller one around your fingers. Hold a rubber snake in each hand, or glue using skin-adhesive squares. If wrapping a large snake around you, make it large enough so that it coils around you without needing to be held in place. Flat, gold or beige sandals work best. Paint all exposed skin with green tempera paint (non-toxic). Antique-looking earrings, bracelets, or brooches can be worn, but don't worry about getting too fancy or too gaudy because the Medusa was a hedonistic demon.
