The online version of Hemisphere's does the same, with a handy link, which if clicked on, appears in a framed version of Hemisphere's own website.
Are the folks at United getting into creative cost cutting - the begining of commercial illustration as self-promo - or what?

I may be wrong (often am) but I think Hemispheres was redesigned a couple of years back by Pentagram in SF and that they set it up to be respectful of illustrators, not that they're doing a trade for promo.

United may or may not be trying to bargain with illustrators by giving them more "exposure", but I've always known Jamie Easler, Hemisphere's AD, to be illustrator-friendly. He is still there, last I looked. Regarding Frazier, he's one gem of a guy when you meet him in person. He's a pro-active, smart marketer of his work and maximizes every opportunity he encounters. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he thought of the website link himself. But also I think it's not unusual that parties are thinking up this no-cost way of optimizing the illustrator's exposure.
