here are some of my favorite parts:
-Tim O'brien is hilarious!
-Recessions are actually not a bad time for illustrators, as a drawing is cheaper than a set up, styled photo!
-The word "style" is dumb and one should just do art that feels like themselves. Finding this way of working can take years and lots of failed attempts (phew, am normal!)
-Getting published in an annual is pretty important
-sketches are important and should be good
-Juliette Borda has blond hair, and I always for some reason envisioned her as a brunette
-Rather than looking at other illustrators for inspiration, try fine art, fashion, cultures, etc
-thanks to computers, there are rarely "original" illustrations
-personal work, personal work
-Chris Silas Neal is cute and used to go to music school, but didn't say much
