“This job has infinite potential,” he remarked once in an interview with Lecture in Progress, describing the most and least enjoyable aspects of his job. “A client can contact you at any time, from anywhere in the world – this unpredictability is always exciting,” he notes. “When you do get a job, the sketch phase – looking for the idea and getting the right concept – is a lot of fun, even though you always have the fear of not solving it.”

On the other end, one of the least enjoyable aspects of being an illustrator for hire, according to Choksi, is when you are given the idea to illustrate. “This means the client has taken away your voice and you’re left with just your style,” he explains. “That can feel a bit superficial.”

Luckily, his award winning work means that he is mostly given a free hand to do as he pleases. “Over the years, I have learnt that to stay relevant you must stay interested in your own work,” Choksi observes. “For ten years, I had a successful career working on the computer, producing vector illustrations, but I wanted to go back to the work I produced in college, with brush and ink. I worried I would lose all my clients, but despite these concerns I had to make that change as this is where my interest lay. I lost clients in advertising, but gained many others.”

You’d want to join in the hype.

He first started drawing comics in college and didn’t take it too seriously. “I used to try to think of a joke and then start drawing it, but I found that my comics were too predictable that way. So instead, I just started drawing a character doing something and see if I could get them to end up in a joke. My number 1 comedic inspiration is the Simpsons. My knowledge of seasons 2-9 is like… weird. I would also reread Calvin & Hobbes comics all summer long. As for webcomics, I really love Poorly Drawn Lines. He’s very good at pacing out a joke,” McNamee says.

He has worked for The Onion and now draws for Cartoon Network.
